atmasphere-. Having been a Gon member for 15 years under two different handles, this is the first thread I jumped into on the subject of cables. Maybe where the confusion lies is that just about all high end mono amps have both RCA and XLR inputs ... 
TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever.
invvictus005-Going for the SME? Interesting. The new Technics SP-10R weighs a ton. The motor weighs around 50 lbs. It uses stator coils on both sides of the rotor which are not used in the new GR or G models. There are videos on Youtube how stator... 
What is the best thing to buy/or do to clean connections on IC's and SC " ??
schubert-if you decide to try naphtha, make sure its naphtha only. Just a handful of brands are available and half of those brands sell liquid naphtha mixed with another chemical. Try one of the older classic hardware stores in your area.

Ortofon 2M Black. Since I'm moving ahead putting together my final system, including the SL-1200 GR, I have my heart set on the 2M black and was curious if any Technics owners using the newer G or GR are using the cartridges from the 2M series. I ...

Engerene. not sure if its still made. Liquid naphtha in a can. Theres other brands as well. Many years ago, the best high end repair company in Seattle, Precision Audio, would sell from time to time used solid state and tube gear on a rack in thei...

Golly geoffait-I had no idea that a recording engineer was such a low level profession. I wonder, is that a better professional career than a dishwasher at a PHO restaurant? What an insult.

Recording studio's and recording engineer's could care less about hypo/cryo nonsense. I find it amazing that we all buy our vinyl and CD's from companies whose master tape CD's and master tape vinyl sound fabulous and guess what, just about all of...

The biggest load of hyperbole I ever came across years ago which I still laugh over today is how Harmonic Technologies would tout over their "cryogenic" process to their copper wire to preserve and prevent the crystal cell pattern from breaking up...

"For those that believe wire is wire, fine"...now let me see, if I take an interconnect cable and slice the side open, guess what, theres copper wire inside. Amazing!!! it must be wire!. You can pretend its the golden hairs from the scalp of Goldi...

jerroldls-Well said...dlcockrum-no offense. I'm sure your familiar with, as most Audiophile's, of gain levels in components. I simply was applying common sense. Wire is wire, and all it does is transfer music signal. Its how the component is confi...

dlcockrum-Went to the Ayre website to check the gain specs on the Ayre preamps. Its very common that companies making preamps with both single ended and XLR outputs will adjust the gain higher to the XLR and lower to the single ended outputs. The ...

ARC REF 3 vs ML 326s
Check out the Belles tube Preamps. You will forget about the brands mentioned above once you have heard a Belles. One thing that is remarkable about Dave Belles tube designs is that they are dead quiet as a tomb. You will hear no hiss sound coming...

BTW-There is no such thing as a "balanced cable". That term implies that an XLR/Cannon connector was only designed to be used with fully balanced left/right channel audio components which is very misleading and completely false. There are solid st...
