| Dynavector cartridges, old and new My Dynavector is the Te Kaitora Rua MC Cartridge. It is on a VPI Classic III. I'm very happy with the sound. It adds lot of clarity. Goodwin's High End recommended it as a replacement for a re tipped Benz Micro LP. Here is the setup:Phono: Su... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. @earlflynn @bewgow @lalitk My system sounds fantastic so I didn’t try any other power cords. I was happy with Pangea/BAT and now with Pangea/Spectral. Pangea is a very good investment. Power cords don’t make much of a difference with high end g... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. @lalitk I chose Pangea based on a recommendation from a friend. They are very good cords for the money. Power cords don't make much difference in my system because of the components. | |
| Help selecting a power cord. Use Pangea Audio cables on everything for power cords. I did everything at once so I can’t comment on where to start. They have different cords depending on the component type.I wouldn’t beak the bank on power cords. For me, they didn’t make much ... | |

It does this by allowing you to vary the frequency (hz) of the electricity coming into the motor. Mine takes about 59 hz. to spin at 33 1/3. Once set, the SDS regulates th... | |

Everything was a clearer, truer and easier to understand. My suggestion is to get a kit to measure the platter speed and a VPI SDS to regulate the ... | |

They are in my system and I feel they are worth the investment.If you haven't already, call GIK Acoustics to get advise on improvements using acoustic panels. You may get better sound for the same ... | |
| Power Conditioners Try the Stellar Power Plant 3 from PS Audio. Give them a call to see if it can power your whole system. They have a good return policy.Also for a big difference, try acoustic wall treatments from GIK. Call them for suggestions. | |
| Gaining listening experience without spending money It can get expensive. Without hearing them, I bought a set of MIT Magnum cables. They didn't sound as good as I thought they would, so I ended up with MIT Oracle cables. It would have been far cheaper to skip the Mangum line and go directly to ... | |
| tidying up cables My biggest improvement was keeping power cords away from phono preamp interconnects. They had to run parallel to each other, so I used zip cords to bundle like cables together (my phono preamp has two power cords). Then glass votive candle hold... | |
| Best Preamp round $8000 BAT tube preamps are my go-to. They have the classic tube sound, are made with the best components and easy to maintain. The companies owner always took my calls and answered emails to give me advice. If you are looking for solid state, Spectral i... | |
