| T.H.E. Show admission As Dweller said, THE Show is open to everyone while CES is officially trade only. But some audiophiles attend, which isn't a bad thing. However, the show that's a lot more consumer friendly and easier to get around (the Venetian is a pain) is RMAF... | |

| What is it the wears out on a cartridge? Nsgarch wrote:Line-contact or micro-ridge styli will last longer than conical or elliptical styli; because the former develop less friction (even though most cartridges that use them require higher VTF)In theory, yes. In practice, only if the alig... | |
| TAS and the Martin Logan Source Wonderful_electric, you probably meant to say dipolar, which is typically how ESLs radiate sound, usually as a virtual line source or spherical source. Either way, unless the ESL itself produces the bass, there is most often a discontinuity betwee... | |

| what cd player is good for MCINTOSH MA6900? Ontjesr, what is your factual basis for such a remark? One of my customers heard the benefits immediately on his MA6900, as did I, and I assure you the CD player he was using does not invert polarity - some do. Maybe the MCD201 also inverts, so in... | |

| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Well said, Paul. I accomplished what I hoped to and then some, so although attendance was down a bit, it was exciting. And as always it was fun to associate names with faces. I recommend RMAF way over CES for those not in the business. | |
