| What if the cable is too cheap that it cannot be that good? @czarivey I don’t think that all expensive cables don’t deliver performance...that’s not what I am saying at all. (This does seem to be your position, however). What I am noticing is that there are certain cable manufacturers who can somehow com... | |
| What if the cable is too cheap that it cannot be that good? @douglas_schroeder While what you say may be true for a number of different less expensive ( cheap is a relative term) cables....it sure isn't correct for all of them. The Black Cat cables are a perfect example of this. Plus, the alternative is ... | |
| What if the cable is too cheap that it cannot be that good? @ bdp24 That’s what I would suspect...in most cases. But how many would still make the same buying decision if they had exposure to a type of cable like Black Cat...and where then having to pony up tens of thousands of $$’s just for what you stated? | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? @ricred1 Very interesting. I would bet these will be superb! | |
| Chasing down the problem To conclude this story...I finally had to take the preamp ( yes, not the amps at all!) to the tech. It turned out it was a switch on the preamp that was not functioning well and was intermittently cutting off the right channel!! My tech diagnosed ... | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? Anyone buy a new Benz in the last year? Not an old stock that was new...but actually one produced in that time period. | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? @zipost Diamond coated boron is not a solid diamond cantilever. A diamond cantilever is exactly that..a solid diamond one piece cantilever..made from an industrial diamond. Solid boron rod is what is usually used when the manufacturer states bor... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... @rauliruegas I tend to agree with you --customers should buy where the price is right! However, this is exactly what the US distributor does NOT want you to do. By having the ability to actually shop the merchandise and therefore shop the price, t... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... Ralph, I generally agree with your post. However, in this instance we are talking about a cartridge...and not any other type of gear. The rep for this particular cartridge adds $8k to the retail price in Japan to arrange for the shipping and futur... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... @vortrex I can tell you are the exact customer that the agent should keep away from! You already know it all......:0( | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... @chakster As someone else has pointed out, the cartridge in question is $8k more than the price in Japan...which IF you read my OP...a little slower, you would see is what I stated....but no, you just have to jump to conclusions. Your understandin... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... @chakster Actually what’s your problem? My prior thread...not post, has nothing to do with this thread. Read my OP again, this time without your preconceived idea. | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... @mijostyn. Is there anywhere in my OP that I stated that this distributor is a brick and mortar dealer? | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... @rsf507 Nope, But it is usually known as a 'Wallets Big'...LOL. ;0)PM if you need more. | |
| Neotech NC-P313 vs. Furutech FI-28 Plugs I own both the Furutech Fi28R and the 50NCF, and also the Wattgate plugs. The Furutech are definitely a step up, but they may not be a better solution to your particular needs. The Furutech tend to clamp harder on, or into, the outlets than the Wa... |
