| Plinus 8200 MkII vs. Unico Nuovo with Totem Thanks! Done and done. I'll look around for an outboard phono as time goes by no doubt. | |
| Plinus 8200 MkII vs. Unico Nuovo with Totem It looks like the Simaudio integrateds might be underpowered for the Model Ones and Mani 2's. They do keep a 5 W reserve in class a and likely have more current, but still on the edge without much headroom. I had Plinius SA201paired with grunt ... | |
| Plinus 8200 MkII vs. Unico Nuovo with Totem Awesome advice. I'd like a phono stage so I may go with the Plinius....Simaudio 250i | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hmmmm. I helped found a festival that exchanges art and music for health, wellness and dental care and here all sorts of amazing music in all types of good and bad venues and love (almost) every one of them! Check out O Positive Festivals....in Ki... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Yoby-They complement each other nicely with the Jade being more romantic and musical while the HFC adds some presence and dynamics. Too much of either might be too much. The Jade sounds fantastic from source to pre, but the second one between pre ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tbg and Lak, I get it. Maybe there's a market for holders like beaker clamps from chemistry class! Part of my question relates to wear and tear on the cables and connectors if it's just hanging in mid-air. The second part is whether the magnetic f... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I borrowed a pair of CT1's and was impressed with them. Among their qualities, they seemed to add a fair amount of volume to my system...Maybe someone has measured that to see if it is perceived or real. It would certainly change some validity of ... | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. I'm thinking the Funk FIrm 5mm Achromat. Any experience out there with that piece on VPI?http://www.thefunkfirm.co.uk/turntables/page21/page21.html | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Sound experience. The 3D arm is well liked, but definitely a very expensive upgrade...almost enough to make the Prime push the Classic into a piece of history. Still like the classic look a lot more, though, and style affinity still counts. I have... | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. No problem...wasn't really looking for audio advice as much as electrical. If it doesn't matter within reason, all the better! | |
| Plinius owners, what power cable are you using? Having tried too many to list here but including most all listed above save Cabledyne and PAD, my favorite has been BMI; in particular Hammerhead Gold Mk3 and Oceanic. I have owned many of the 8xxx and 9xxx integrateds and amps, the P8, and severa... | |

| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Thank you, Mcbuddah, for all the thoughtful advice from your long experience. It jives very well with all I've read. I have worked a lot with Dan at edenSound and have a variety of his incredibly effective and beautifully crafted and machined foot... | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Now I really wish I hadn't sold off my Eden Brass!! I think that the SDS is scrubbed given the speed stability and the new table's even improved stability. The periphery ring, center weight and good isolation look like the triumvirate. A new arm m... |
