Confused newbie
My recommendation would be to look into the Nottingham Interspace and a Rega RB250 arm, Dynavector 10X4 II cartridge and the best phono stage you can afford.The P 25 is a fine table and excellent value but lacks some dynamics. The Basis, VPI and C...

Slawney,Did you notice the dark grey isolation shelves that 47Lab used at Frankfurt? Guess who?*wink*The loudspeaker was designed and built by Sead Lejlic of Konus Audio, the european 47Lab distributor and they use a transmission line enclosure.Be...

thorens or Rega
correction/expansion-the above also applies to the Rega P2 and the P2 based NAD 533 as well as the Rega P3 
thorens or Rega
Stay away from this particular Rega. In spite of my personal preference of the Planar 3 over the Thorens, this table had its arm transfered onto another deck and had the Linn arm stuffed on to replace it.The mounting geometries of the Rega and Lin... 
Opinions: Oracle/SME IV/ Monster Alpha2
The Oracle Delphi IV is a wonderful table and the SMEIV a somewhat better performing arm than the Oracle 345. The Oracle arm is manufactured by SME and uses the armtube from the less expensive SME 309, the bearings of the SME IV and the wiring fro...

Not so fast, Red.So far after 8 months of using the 47 Labs/OTA cable, EVERY time I got to thinking that there might be a weakness or anomoly that was cable induced, it turned out to be pinpointed to problems, inappropriate tweeks or coloured/flaw... 
A little bit of Truth
Indeed, a little bit of truth sprinkled amidst a whole lot of "evidence" tailored to suit and support his preformed opinions and biases without actual experience of the power cable products of his topic-Without having an open mind and unbiased obs... 
Fired up the TT for the first time

Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Hi Red,I first started out with the speaker cables alone and didn't introduce the IC's till well after the speaker cables had broken in.I likewise tried twisting them into a loose weave but eventually decide that doing so made for a somewhat "tigh...

Don't fret kiddies.You'll only feel stupid for a short while after you get your teeney -tiny little package with the weedwhacker line in it. You'll probably have a good chuckle and then worry about hooking them up to your amp cause it's so skinny ... 
For You: THE most imprortant element...
Emotional connection with the performance/artist-IMO,the key element for achieving that quality is based on how temporal/timing features of music relate to note shaping and subtle shifts of dynamic shadings.Ken 
System sounds better at night?
Not only do AC lines have lower demands placed upon them, much of what is heard in sonic improvements at night is due to reduced activity from traffic, construction, etc.The low frequency waves generated are extremely powerful and disruptive and c...
