| Sonic Frontiers Power 1 good deal or foolish? Meby if you can swing a good price it might be worth a try, because then you can probably resell reasonably.

| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Those RF Stoppers were used on a much different rig than my present setup. I was having a lot of RFI problems from trucks on a nearby highway; I'm surprised that my amp or speakers didn't blow up when some of those clowns went by with their (non)l... | |
| Preamp dilemma... bhilbert check the forum archives, lots of posts on this: you may need an antenna isolation transformer or just use audio balancing isolation transformers on the audio connections. Or sometimes if you ground the sleeve of your incoming coax to hou... | |
| Does Cary stack up to ARC Kettle have you experimented with upgrade AC cords? If not, then you might realize sonic signature closer to desired by trying out some different cords. No two sound exactly alike & the right cord for your source component isn't necessarily th... | |

| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? be careful what you do with those ferrite clamps. I clamped 1ea. on a pair of Audioquest Lapis interconnects; they killed the highs & PRaT was all but gone. Sold the whole pack forthwith. | |

| best way to figure out vta on tonearm Sure Max I'll report back but it might be awhile. I just got the HFNRR test setup record; based upon a number of rec's that I'd read they seemed to prefer this one above others such as the Schure. Here's a link to a review of the HFNRR test record... | |
| BMI Whale Elite vs. Electra Glide Fatman The Shunyata's, like anything else, are system dependent. I bought two but my stock cords worked better so they were returned much to the dealer's amazement. I have found several other upgrade cords that do very well indeed so I'm not at all of th... | |

| best way to figure out vta on tonearm thx. for the above comments: very helpful!So far with my Grado I've been using it parallel to the record surface with good results but haven't yet tried experimenting much. It did not work very well when tilted upward toward the rear; bass respons... | |
