If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you!
Nope. Nordost told me they cannot re-terminate my phono cable with a DIN connector.

Cleeds ,once again audio guru, what does experience have to do with the asking price of this table?? 
Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be!
@thom_at_galibier_design  with the Linn table, the subchassis is connected to the bearing, both being metal parts, the subchassis connects to the tonearm post, which has a ground to the phono stage.

@thom_at_galibier_design  Thanks for your thoughts on this. How do you ground the bearing to the phono stage? Isn't this done via the tonearm cable ground to the phono stage, which is the only way i can think of...particularly with my Linn table.

lewm, you miss my point, and maybe it hasn’t been made clear enough in my prior posts. I really couldn’t give a darn if Marc Gomez wants to price his stuff in the ether, the only one who is going to suffer from that is himself. My point is that th...

@dover  Agreed. Problem is that the 'comical' price that is attached to this table, at least IMHO, doesn't do our hobby any good either!  
Has anyone heard the SAT XD1
@dover  Here's the issue, that continually seems to be either a) misconceived or b) considered irrelevant.. and it's this: The price asked fails to live up to the tech, the complexity, the R&D required or any other parameter that typically acc...

Nordost will not re-terminate my Tyr phono cable from a RCA to a DIN connector...what the heck!!!

@dover   LOL, your post about folks who believe they have the SOTA with their 70's audio product ( think direct drive TT here) definitely made me laugh. However, you do realize that the new SAT XD1 is priced at $282K...yes?(with an SAT arm at that... 
Cartridge forgiving of "non-audiophile" recordings and pressings
I disagree that the better the rig, the better the sound on poorly recorded/pressed albums. IME, the better the rig, the worse the sound, simply because all of the warts and poor quality is now brought to the fore! This is unfortunately easy to he...

@headphonedreams  IMO, the question is not whether someone should be pushing the boundaries of what can be done, but whether the result should be connected to some kind of value proposition. Or, whether it is simply acceptable to place the result ...

Cleeds, striving for high performance always costs money, but there is money and then there is money...so how much is too much??I'm with lewm on this, to me...there is a principal involved here. Simple as that.

@noromance Pricing to the stratosphere is connected to pursuing the state of the art...how??Residing at the upper echelons of the industry?? Only to those who believe price equates to ability...IMO.No need to deal with too many annoying humans?--w...
