| Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow Hee,My understanding is, a simple change of connectors will mate the Venustas to either 120 or 240. Safest route would be to order the correct version from Purist. I've converted several Dominus power cords back and fourth between 120 and 240. Req... | |

| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize I don't see anything wrong with your lengthy process if it makes the music better. I listen primarily to LP, washing my records with a VPI 17F and then preserving them with Last. There is no doubt AT ALL that this improves my softwares performance... | |
| High End Myth Glossary. Here are my Myth's to add to the Glossary.Audio Asylum is as good as Audiogon.No one at Audiogon ever "trolls" by posting controversial topics.Bose makes the ultimate speaker. | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? ha?Guess it's good I did not.Now if you had said: Nanny Nanny Boo Boo, I would have been humiliated and forced to respect you. | |

| Stylus pressure gauges I think Mikelavigne said it perfectly (quoted below):I can really be confident of a repeatable measurement. This is especially helpful if you own and use multiple cartridges. You are able to go back to your exact previous setup without the sometim... | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? Then why would you sell them?Too bad you disposed of them. I would really like to see them put Wolcott "to shame" on U-1 Soundlabs. Particularly since Papworth has less power, bandwidth and headroom. | |
| Stylus pressure gauges The problem Markshvarts, is that many of the jeweler scales are magnetic. Using them near the highly magnetic field of a moving coil cartridge is nearly impossible. I know this because I tried about half a dozen jeweler scales, purchased both loca... | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? If your going to brag about them you should spell their name correctly.It's PAPWORTH and they are manufactured in England. Also, according to one price guide on the internet, they sell for 25,939.50 USD. That's more than double the Wolcotts, more ... | |
| Help with Hi Power Tube Amp Selection I have only heard the VTL and Wolcott. They are different in their presentation. The VTL is more traditional tube sound, but I don't mean too warm or slow. The VTL is excellent, better yet the Signature series 750 mono blocks. The Wolcotts are alm... | |
| Anybody stop using power conditioning? I don't like what the PS Audio does to the music. They were ineffective with my Soundlabs (powering back plates) and Soundlabs draw only one eighth of an amp at 120 volts. The Soundlabs are an excellent place to test conditioners, whatever sound t... | |
