| Power conditioner for amps The "Albert Porter" cryoed outlets are outstanding and, IMHO, the best available. Albert is now offering these in the "tweaks" classified section. Very highly recommended and much better than the PS outlets, IMO. Cheaper, too. | |
| Azimuth&Bias on HIFI test record An old fashioned way to check azimuth is to scratch or use a marker to draw a line perpendicular to the bottom of a small pocket mirror. Then, IF your platter is level, slide the mirror up near the cartridge and view from the back side. If the car... | |

I will not forward one because I am not strictly familiar with your other equipment.I understand your dilemna, though. I started with a pair of Goldi's and sti... | |
| Seperate phono stage v.s. step up transformer Tom (Twl) I know you're being sarcastic and I know you are not referring to me.
