Killer female vocal recordings-show me the light..
Try Marlena Shaw "Live in Tokyo" 
The miracle of the turntable?
Lugnut's advice should be mandatory for all boys, and girls.It is, indeed, the glue which binds. I recall the satisfaction when, after my son was old enough to having his own car, seeing him in the driveway changing his own oil. Even better, when ... 
Pure Note Epsilon cable directionality.
I was going to post here but Sonic pretty well nailed it. 
Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood
Bnrlaw - I will have to qualify my statement by saying that I auditioned that cartridge at a dealer, who happens to also be a friend. The cart was fully broken in and mounted on a Clearaudio table. It was the consensus of a few of us that it was a... 
In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller
g13, the question of a Walkman is your call. (perhaps at this point we have equally exchanged sarcasms and continue)You asked for advise, Psychic gave some sound options and you seem not to agree. His point was that even if you do rewire in the wa... 
Has anyone tried Signal Cable?
I have an old Sony tuner which I use on occasion. It still sounds great, given that the FM in my area is plentiful but the choices SUCK. Anyway, I was using a $400 cable with the tuner and decided to use it somewhere else, figuring it was overkill...

Same dedicated grunge applies, at least unless if you have no neighbors and are alone on the power grid.

First, give it another 40 hours or so more before making judgement after confirming that your setup is as spot on as posible. Then, you may still have some issues with "harshness" if I am understanding the term corectly. I would say "brightness" w... 
BAT stuff and Cables
So, Tireguy, and I appreciate your comments here, would you say that a BAT preamp, for instance, would be a poor choice unless all of your other components were cable of being run with balanced connections (i.e. amp and phonostage)?

Ok, I appreciate the "sounds different" response and defer to the users with expereince. Please define "different". Obliged. 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
Warren, when it's Le Bernardin, call me! Or Daniel, or Lutece, or Jean Georges, or the Gramercy Tavern, or Le Cirque, or countless others in the resaurant mecca of the world! 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
I have rattled the pots and pans, and looked good doing it, for many years. French, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai food, all specialties. In fact, I have had the pleasure to teach more than a few French cooking classes at our local CC. I would be... 
Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ?
Odd, indeed. Not what I was told personally NOR what my dealer was told by Kora. Does yours have the Auricaps and such? If not, it would also seem odd that Kora would make such major changes to yield no improvement in sonics.Regardless of what was... 
Chair or Sofa? Which do you use?
Reclining overstuffed throne for solitary listening which switches places with the adjacent love seat when my wife or son wants to share the sweet spot. 
Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ?
I would beg to differ just a bit with respect to whomever was the Kora rep and what they told you, as it is different than what the person I talked to at Kora in France (Jeff Starr)has stated to me. The August 2002 part is correct in that this is ...
