| Possible to Compare the DV XV-1 & Grado Statement? Thanks for the offer Victor but I have 14 cartridges in house and 3 more enroute; 2 Lyras and a My Sonics Lab.I defer to one of the other members. | |
| Phono Pre for Grado Statement Reference 0.5mV Although mechans offers some nice suggestions, all of them are overkill IMO. Far too much money for a serviceable phono cartridge that can never optimize any of the products mentioned.I would look for a used Graham Slee Era Gold; they go for $600-... | |
| Zu Druids - Two years after >>03-31-09: Rocket323Does anyone have experience with the Essence and a 250 watt class D amp?<<Certainly it will work but unquestionably there are better and more appropriate amplifiers.Dealer disclaimer | |

| Is there a better table than S. Scoutmaster Ref ? >>03-30-09: SemiConnections always degrade sound,<<Theoretically that's true but if connections are implemented thoughtfully, none of the effects you mention are audible and needn't be a concern even in the finest systems. | |

| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? >>Cabling makes or breaks the system, no matter the quality of your componentry.Bob_bundus<<Not a chance.If cables make or break a system, the components have been very poorly selected. | |
| McIntosh MR71 Cable Binding Advice I own the 71 and 77.Don't overthink this issue. There are plenty of interconnects that will do the job; in general, cables are more alike than different. | |
| McIntosh MR71 Cable Binding Advice I have 2 Mac tuners and there is no reason to use "today's heavy cables".There are dozens of good choices, all of which don't look like fire hoses. | |
| best value - record cleaning machine Look at it this way, when you want your car cleaned right, do you go to a car wash or hand clean yourself?No brainer.Machines are damn convenient though.But also a compromise. | |
| best value - record cleaning machine Buy a manual machine, good brushes, and the cleaning fluid of your choice.Automatics are inferior and a waste of money. | |
| Amp / speaker cable for 10T Buff, of course, is an MIT dealer and seems to have difficulty disclosing that when recommending products within his line.Over and over btw.When a financial interest is involved, non-disclosure is both unethical and unprofessional. |
