| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i JC 1 would be MY recommendation. | |
| Phoenix Engineering speed control I agree with sbank....its a ground problem. If you use a cheater, only use it to confirm a ground issue...don’t keep it in the system....they ruin the sound. Use a voltmeter to see that all wall plugs are wired correctly. This can be very tricky t... | |
| Cost no Object but Small Room OOPS - The web site for headphones is Headphones.com - the place is Headroom. Sorry | |
| Cost no Object but Small Room Here's another way to go. Get a dedicated headphone amp,and the best earphones and you will have sound that's better than any speaker you can put in that room. Check out Headroom.com for great advice. If you want music without headphones, almost a... | |
| Are the Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaners... I have a Nitty Gritty made from Kokolobo wood. It works well and looks beautiful. VPI's look much more industrial. I think they clean the same | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? When I upgraded to the Benz Ebony, it was a jaw dropping difference. Squeeze out as much as you can and get the highest performing cartridge you can possibly get. You will enjoy the upgrade for many years. | |

| VPI SDS Whys and Hows? I have a new Superscoutmaster and the cord fits absolutely perfectly into that cutout provided on the SDS. Why would you want a new powercord? The SDS fixes electrical problems and feeds it to the motor(s) You might make the sound different, but I... | |

| Speaker Cable Suggestion Regarding Bi-Wire..the benefits of biwire are almost completely removed when you use wire that's jacketed together. You must have 4 seperate cables for best results. I don't know why anyone would choose expensive cables like Purist, et al, when An... | |
| Audiophile TT article in Forbes I'll bet anything that the Farrari can be a tax deduction for a movie star who commands a certain "persona". As long as he/she drives it to movie premiers,et al, it is a legitamate deduction. The time that the car is driven for pleasure is not ded... | |

| Mft 's suggested VTF: Follow or not to follow??? When setting up my Superscoutmaster, the instruction book was clear on leveling the table. It MUST be level, and the best way is to put a level on the platter front to back, and then side to side. I had an SME V sometime ago, which didn't seem to ... |
