| Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s Both are excellent phono cartridges but are quite different. I currently own a Benz Lp cartridge and have for several years and am very happy with it. I do not own the dynavector but have heard it and it to is a fine performer. The Benz lp is rich... | |
| Fine tuning Azimuth - Very postive results Actually the 25% improvement I mentioned is on the conservative side. With some records I am very familiar with and played over and over I always thought the midrange sounded a little thin but after the azimuth adjustment it gained so much more bo... | |
| WBT Nextgen update listening evaluation 2 It is truly astonishing that even a number of top audio designers of very high dollar equipment I talked to know little or nothing about there connectors in there own equipment. Most of the time the answers I receive when the topic is brought up i... | |

| Review: BMI Orca Mark 2 Power cord The Orca MK II improves considerably once the chord has about 300 hours of break-in time so you should notice some very positive changes over the next month or so. The Orca is a excellent design and uses very high quality parts not found on almost... | |
| WBT Nextgen RCA connector evaluation & shoot-out According to the spec sheet for the WBT-0201 I downloaded from the WBT web site only the internal socket is made of 99.996 copper and I can not tell without additional detail views of the socket if the entire socket is one solid piece of copper or... | |
| WBT Nextgen RCA connector evaluation & shoot-out Actually I am quite impressed with both the design and quality of the WBT-0210 female RCA plugs, they are similar in design and construction to the WBT-0110. Last week I ordered (5) more sets from parts express to be used in my preamp. There have ... | |
| Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount? What type of fluid do you use on your Grahm arm or is there another aftermaket fluid that works well. I remember Brooks Berdan telling me several years ago he does not use the Grahm stock fluid but a similar sub that works better. | |
| Convergent Audio JL2 Triod Amp MK II Upgrade A issue at Convergent Audio is that Ken Stevens is the go to man for everything and he does not delegate so all authorization and communications must go thru him and as you mentioned he can be difficult to get a hold of.

The resistors fail rather than damage the very expensive input power transformer in the rear. Ken recently altered the design of the CAT JL2 ... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM-MX Monitor I have owned the VSM-M now for (4) years and I agree they are excellent speakers for a small to medium size room. If the MX version is a major upgrade from the previous mellinum series then indeed they are exceptional speakers. One area of weeknes... | |

| CAT JL-3 mono amplifier I have owned a JL2 stereo amp for several years and its interesting that it is one part of my system I have no desire to try to change or upgrade. Convergent Audio's premier products are the amps (Stereo and Mono)and not the preamps although the C... | |

The original question on this thread illustrates this point.Now the the answer to your question as I have many copys of this LP hear are my l... | |
| Amperex 6922 USA vs Amperex 6922 Holland I have compaired them both. The USA and Dutch versions are similar except the US 6922 version has a bit more resolution and HF extension where the Dutch 6922 has more body and fullness with slightly less resolution than the USA version. Both are e... |
