Power Cord Advice
I know one should start at the source and work down with powercords.As I am an analog junkie I still wanted to try an aftermarket cord.I had a H.T. PRO-AC11 for 3 weeks and put at least 200 hours on it.I used it on my Rogue 99 preamp outboard powe...

Is SACD really this lousy?
3141510- I have seen some of your comments in other areas of audiogon.You appear to be a very angry person and often make confusing and irrational comments.Are you a music lover? What artists do you like the most? What is your format preference? D...

I dont feel analog is dying.Of course it will never dominate again.From all I have read there is a renewed interest in analog.I feel some people are disappointed in the state of digital and are starting to doubt the future.I know we are a minority...

Carl,I have bitten all my finger nails till they are bloody waiting for a full report on your new TUBE amp.What gives? As far as buying new music on vinyl the best place I have found is e-bay.Sometimes still sealed.I will do search for you and Alb...

Albert, I have in front of me a once played,good as when first opened, copy of Matchbox-20 on vinyl.It is their first one,the multi-million seller "Your Self Or Someone Like You" I had a friend who loved this album so I bought it for $9.00 brand n... 
Is SACD really this lousy?
Garfish,this is in reponse to your question of what study I referred to comparing digital vs analog.You had made a statement that digital listeners were more serene than analog listenes. I have seen while browsing several studies that all came to ...

Albert-yes you are right.I guess Im tired of being bashed here and want to give a little back.You are always level headed and a true gentleman.By the way,you were right about Telefunkens,they are AWESOME!! I call for a truce. 
Is SACD really this lousy?
I am finally figuring out why people devoted to digital get so defensive.You want the best of both worlds but dont want to put any work into it.You want a "easy and convienient" format but think you can get analog sound with all these different di... 
Is SACD really this lousy?
Yes,the Rega Planet is a fine sounding CD player.If I ever decide to upgrade my $20.00 NEC yard sale player it will be a planet.But until I have at least 20 Cd's I wont bother.Right now I have 2 CD's I have purchaced in 3 years so it will be a whi...

New turntable
Jt-I need to make a correction.I had the MMf-2 table with a $45 Elan cartridge.Your 5 has a $175 cartridge.Your cartridge is much better than the Elan.Anyway,as far as getting the most from the 5 it must be set up correctly.The arm on those tables... 
New turntable
Jt- I had a Music Hall a couple years ago.My first table when I finally discovered how much better analog sounds compared to digital.The Elan cartridge is OK but I would start there if you are still using it.You need to spend at least a couple hun...
