| Cabling for ear 834 phono Sounds like you're on a pretty tight budget. I think that the Black Mountain Pinnacle are better than they have a right to be at that price. They list at like $900, but they ususally auction here (new from the mfg) for about $100+ for a meter. The... | |
| Upgrading from Rega Apollo I would pick up the demo Ear Acute that Audio Revelation is offering. You get the full warranty and dealer support. It's an excellent player. I have no affiliation with the seller. | |
| Good CD for testing bass response James Taylor "Hourglass" and Erika Badu "Baduisms". As a bonus, the music is really good too. | |
| Flip flopped orchestra? Many engineers haven't got a clue about the sound field. They just start in with the panpots without any regard for reality. One of my favorite sonic presentations is on the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio "Midnight Sugar" record. Aside from his awful play... | |

| Help with stylus cleaning So you meant that you typically use the applicator brush in the bottle to apply to the cleaning brush, as opposed to using the applicator brush to apply the cleaner to the stylus? Yes, now I understand. Sorry I didn't get it the first time. Excuse... | |

| Black Diamond Racing Shelf for EMM CDSA? As long as we have a scientist here - If you are travelling in a car at the speed of light and turned your lights on, would they do anything? I always wanted to know the answer to that. | |
| Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static Gruv Glide will eliminate the static. I'm not convinced it improves the sound of a clean record, but it really clears up the static issue for a long period of time. It cleans off if you can't live with it from a philosophical point of view. Person... | |
| vpi cleaner The more expensive VPIs have more features, but don't clean any better. Once you get an RCM, you will learn it's more about cleaning technique than whether you move up or down one notch in a product line. Buy the 16.5 with a couple of Disc Doctor ... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster and Target Wall Shelf The Blinn stuff looks good, but from the pictures, it looks like the wood sits flush with the wall. Where do the wires go? Over the sides? Not too pretty as far as I can see. I'm not saying it does work this way, but you should check it out. The T... | |
| Whats a good power cord for the Sony XA5400ES? Soundstrings makes a nice AC for digital, which sounded very well-balanced on the Sony. Cost about $35 or so from Venus HiFi. | |
| small companies making today's best products Mrtennis - which companies have you approached to "modify their designs" for you? I'm not talking about upgraded caps and such, which some of the smaller companies offer, but an actual modified design? Did you supply the specs for the circuit? Yes... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party There are people who believe that because they can't hear something that nobody else can either. As I recall, hearing acuity varies from person to person, although some people choose to ignore this. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster and Target Wall Shelf Target also makes a 2-shelf wallshelf, which you may want to consider for the phono preamp and the power supply. However, it only comes in the smaller size, I believe. I don't know whether this will fit the Scout, so check first. There are a few i... |
