Brinkmann Bardo
It was all in fun.The P3 is a terrific product.And it saves a lot of time. If you listened to 8 album sides every day for a month, there would be a 46.8 minute surplus using Shane's P3 vs. the Bardo.Enough time to read one of these useless threads...

>>06-16-10: DownunderLew, for me, yes it would. I use my two DD's and really appreciate the ultra quick start up/start down time.<<Right. It's very important to begin and end a listening session with as few delays as possible.Let's ass...

>>06-16-10: DownunderAre Brinkman serious that it takes 12 seconds for the platter to reach 33.3 rpm's?That is insane<<Shane, perhaps but the Bardo's drive system is a bit different than your P3 so the comparison is apples to oranges. ... 
Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ?
>>06-15-10: VinyladdictStylus profile, in my experience, has much more to do with the elimination of IGD than any other parameter.<<Nope. Precise alignment is the key.The stylus profile contributes to good tracking but all stylii will ... 
Phono cartridge for classic rock
Look for a pre-owned Shelter 901.Should do the job and will be quite affordable. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
>>06-13-10: TbgThey are just Levitron cheaters that have been Quantum Tunneled. I had 7 of them done for my system, which requires that all but the line stage be ungrounded. They are far superior to the standard Levitron cheater.<<Quan... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
Never upgrade a cable when you can make a legitimate component upgrade. 
Spectron musician VS. Pass Labs Amp
I'm not familiar with the Pass XA-300.5. 
Do all good interconnects sound the same?
Oops. I misread the OP's question.Sound the same and cost the same are certainly different.My previous post makes absolutely no sense but then again that was the intention.But the answer is yes, all good interconnects sound the same. As do all goo... 
Do all good interconnects sound the same?
Yes, all good interconnects cost the same excepting the very good interconnects which are overpriced but underrated.Bad interconnects cost less and are generally underpriced but overrated.Really bad interconnects cost much less but are more or les... 
Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?
>>06-10-10: RubinkenAudiofeil-You are quick to criticize others. Why do you not disclose that YOU are a dealer/tradesperson yourself? (Who does not carry Dehavilland)<<Why would I disclose that I do NOT carry DeHavilland?You appear a b... 
Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?
Sorry shredded, that won't cut it.If you search the threads you'll see dozens and dozens of monikers with the words "audio", "sounds", "stereo", "analog", etc attached to them.Don't be an apologist because you know the guy.Tradespersons need to di... 
What are Zobel filters?
>>06-10-10: FafafionWide range signals do not couse the ringing in your ears.....Digital amps do.BUT common to almost all digital amps are the sharpness that make for 'painful'long term listening<<After you've heard some excellent Clas... 
Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?
Soundsreally is a DH dealer.Take his words with a grain of salt in that regard.A disclosure is essential when commenting on components in your line. To not do it is unprofessional. 
Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2?
Al,With regards to your latest post, indeed 92dB is quite loud. The staff on the Pass meter indicates bias not power output. It does not move until the amp begins to leave Class A.I've pushed the XA30.5/Sapphires, with demanding source material, t...
