| Jena Labs interconnects - how good are these? The Jena Labs cables are more transparent and exhibit a lower noise floor. With respect to speed, detail and punch, I felt that the performance of the cables was very close. | |
| Jena Labs interconnects - how good are these? I compared the Jena Labs Symphony RCA interconnects to Kimber Select 1030 in my system. In my system, the Jena Labs cables were better, producing a more natural, relaxed sound. | |
| Silent Running VR under tube vs solid-state amp I used the top SRA isolation bases to isolate my CAT JL-1 Limited Edition monoblocks and the sonic improvement was dramatic. I recently changed my amplification to a solid-state amp (the darTZeel), and I was not sure what to expect in the way of i... | |
| Question about NAD 320BEE All, thanks for your input. I have a couple of follow-up questions.First, I should mention that my friend has the ability to buy the NAD products new at a very steep discount from an old friend in the business, so I am trying to stick with NAD amp... | |
| Seeking Cartridge for SME 20/2 TT & SME V arm The Dynavector XV-1s is a great cartridge, and it pairs beautifully with your SME tonearm. | |
| Help me choose TT of these three candidates. Nilthepill, I am curious about your reaction to the VPI TNT. You mention that you have found it to be too warm for your personal taste. My experience is that the early versions of the VPI TNT from the Mk. 1 version through the Mk. 5 version of the... | |
| New Revel Salon's being Introduced In 2006 I have been running the Salons in my system for several years now, and I agree that the bass performance is outstanding. My system measures flat all the way down to 20Hz. The bass is very accurate - tight and tuneful. The only thing to keep in min... | |
| Analog Pre-Amp EMM DCC2? I use the analog preamp in the DCC2 as the main preamp for my system. It is an excellent preamp. In some ways it bettered the Lamm L2 that I had been running prior to my purchase of the Meitner gear. Based on what I have heard from others whose op... | |
| "On time" meter for tube life, cartridge life, etc The VPI SDS turntable motor controller keeps track of the number of hours during which it supplies current to your turntable motor, which can give you a good measure of the number of hours on your cartridge. | |
| Have EMM cdp and DCC2 - what turntable to buy SUT = step-up transformer | |
| Have EMM cdp and DCC2 - what turntable to buy IMO, there is no question you can top the performance of your EMM Labs digital gear with an analog front end. As good as the Meitner gear is - and it is the very best digital front end I have personally ever heard - a top notch analog front end is... | |
| SACD is it worth it? To me SACD sounds significantly better than redbook CD. The sound quality improvement available with SACD can be very significant with acoustic music and particularly with orchestral music. As long as the current breadth of the available SACD cata... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Rubber Washer Tom, the HRX-model stainless steel center "clamp" is not really a clamp at all in that it is not a threaded, screw-on mechanism. Instead the HRX center weight is simply a heavy (1-1/2 pounds) weight that slides on over the spindle and sits on the ... | |

| VPI Scoutmaster - Rubber Washer Tom, I asked the same question you are asking when I recently upgraded my Mk. 3.5 TNT to the Mk. 6 design. VPI indicated that the rubber washer was designed for use with their center clamps and advised that the washer should not be used with the H... |
