| Does balanced interconnect sound beter than RCA? Metralla, you are absolutely correct. Normally, I provide the whole link as a "url" (see my other threads). For some reason, it would not work. So I did the old "cut & paste". Although, if memory serves, the actual BAT I.D. is somewhere in tha... | |
| What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect? Delsfan, the following is interesting, and as Herman mentioned , there is a wealth of info in the forums. Ed.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1079758386&openusid&zzBuscis2&4&5#Buscis2 | |
| Grado Statement Series Doug & Twl, You're right. It is me reading cost into the equation and maybe I shouldn't be. I assume it's the way I read the original post. I was basing my opinion on the equipment presently being used.Although, I was NOT thinking about step u... | |
| Grado Statement Series Doug, you and I are in 90% agreement. And before we discuss the fine points any further, I would like to ask one question. Which, based on my previous response to this thread, I consider highly relevant.With all do respect, How much do those beaut... | |
| Grado Statement Series Twl, I find it interesting that you would recommend a step up. I have always found step ups' to be somewhat problematic. It seems that any "transformer type" step up would introduce hum problems (to varying degrees), and offered little or no adjus... | |

| Shibata Stylus 4yanx, I remember Ohm C-2s. They were a really great sounding speaker. I once heard them hooked up to an old Luxman Class A power amp. They sounded incredible. So did the Luxman.I also apologize for steering so far off track with this thread. Ed. | |
| Shibata Stylus BTW 4yanx. I was just trying to figure out what I was using back then as quad decoder/amp. The decoder was some kind of Dynaco, but I forget which model. The amp was a "Lafayette Radio Electronics" 60 watt x4. (it was probably more like 18 watts x... | |
| Shibata Stylus Would you like that in DUAL MC or DUAL MM? :>)http://www.audio-technica.com/guide/other/styli/cart.html#AT440MLCheck out "MicroLine", and let me know where to send those DBX LPs. | |
| Shibata Stylus I dunno 4yanx. It might of been the stereohedron. SQ....CD-4....DBX....man, is that stirring up some memories.I remember purchasing a Sonus "Dimension 5" MM cartridge at the time that quad was pretty much becoming a dead issue. 78-79-80? The Sonus... | |
