| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Well said Albert! Thank God for Reference Recordings HRx! This is probably as good as a mortal can get. :-) I am in total disbelief listening to these converted to LPCM DVD-A on my NWO-M! Amazing!I guess what is not realized on this thread is that... | |

| preamp with phono break in Rdanell, For break in to work you need not play through the speakers, the signal entering the phono stage and being processed is all that's required. If you have a stand alone (outboard) phono stage there could be some advantage to resistive load ... | |
| How long do you wait for a check to clear If it's a USA bank, search for a local branch, go to the manager and have it cleared on the spot via computer. Walk out with cash or bank certified check, either way you can get instant credit in your own account.I've had success with Wells Fargo,... | |

Great way to test the sound of various cartridges and arms, provided you're patient enough to own them for a few months and do serious listening.I have two tables, four arms and five cartridges. It really puts things into perspective to have each ... | |
| Real Music vs Audiophile Mumbo Jumbo The version of "live" you describe is not live, but rather live played through a PA system. believe me, it does not sound like a vinyl rig. In my opinion, the sound has an in your face kick that is more like solid state systems.Yep, that system yo... | |
| Listening impressions of two tonearm wires That's why George Cardas has been a success in the cable business for as long as I can remember. His tonearm wire, binding posts (both patented and standard versions), female RCA jacks and other specialty items are among the best out there.Glad yo... | |

| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Hi Albert,Interesting comment:"I only swap equipment for superior performance and/or reliability."I guess that means you are suggesting that the Alnico is better in some ways that the IO did not do it for you. And this was after you had both power... | |
