Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
You need to be sure that you firmly grip the back end of the clip just beyond where it connects to the cartridge pin with either a long nose pliers or a tweezers. Make sure that you are gripping the metal part of the clip and not the wire or you w... 
Does CDP Analog and digital work at the same time?

DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE

Tweeter height...align with ears?
There is no standard rule that can apply towards all speakers and listening rooms. As you move off the direct line from the center of a tweeter the high frequency response gradually falls off. This applies to a vertical offset which is affected by... 
Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
I haven't personally tried it, but there is a much cheaper alternative to Onzow Zerodust that appears to be very similar in design. I have seen it recommended by some other users who have used it with their very high end analog setups and they ent...

Audia flight protection mode
I own the Audia Flight Phono and have never experienced anything like the situation you describe. I would guess that there is either a short of some type on the output or a problem with the protection circuitry. 
Stylus force digital scales
After buying and trying many digital scales used for the specific application of measuring tracking force, I agree with Don. This version is clearly superior when compared to similar but smaller scales that use button style batteries. It has the b... 
Nordost New LE series speaker cables. Improved??
I find the new Leif BH to be a definite and significant improvement over the original version, but I have no experience with the Audio Art cables to be able to make a meaningful comparison. 
Nordost New LE series speaker cables. Improved??
The original (pre-LEIF series) Blue Heaven and Red Dawn were indeed very different sounding, with BH being softer sounding and more laid back in perspective while the RD was more forward and revealing. This often led to one being generally preferr... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Lloydelee21, you can read about Dragon_vibe's experience with the Claytons on this thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1385752123. He ended up returning them... 
Broken tube on Art Audio Carissa 825 amp
