| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? Lonestarsouth, I upgraded the powercord on my toaster to a shunyata python and plug that into a shunyata hydra 4. I think it is a waste unless I am toasting homemade english muffins, then I can really tell the difference in delicacy of taste and i... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high One reason is because if someone has a $5000 tone arm and wants to upgrade he/she would need to have something to upgrade to. Thus the $12,000 tone arm. It is seven thousand better. The true problem arises however when someone with a $12,000-$15,0... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 I would agree with the junk in junk out. I spent a lot of time auditioning the Ref 110 when I was amp shopping and found it to be very neutral and revealing, with perhaps a bit of dryness in the upper mid range, it could be heard as thin. I think ... | |
| Why is the Shelter 501 mono so expensive? Thanks for all of the input. I do have some old mono blue notes and others as well as some older rock in mono and am surprised how much I enjoy them, even with my stereo cart. I am going to try and find a mono system to listen to a few of these. | |
| What would cause me to loose a channel? I did that. I also reprogramed it from rca to din and back to rca. Swapped cables from phono to cd, phono worked great with the cd cables and cd still had left channel out, Changed power cords, changed pre-amps all consistent left channel out on c... | |
| Cracked record cleaning pick up tube Yes, I have cracked three. Then I started removing the suction tube apparatus when I close the lid and store it away, and have not had another one crack. | |
| Totem Signature Ones with ML 33H Rocc007, I am going to go out on a limb on this one but my guess is the he is looking at the "Totem Signature One" model of Totem Accoustic speakers. I think that when Dreamdesigns typed "Totem Signature One" he may have meant to type "Totem Signa... | |
| Fireplace and room acoustic It would depend on the type of fireplace, i.e. is it covered with glass, is it open, etc. Also, the proximity of the speakers will also play a role. I don't think that there is going to be a unifying affect on room acoustics. I have a fireplace an... | |

| US only sales WHY??? I have sold to items to oversea's buyers and in both cases the buyer asked me to change the declared value to avoid fee's, this was done after I advised that I would not do it. This led to me not being able to conclude the the sale and having to r... | |

| Sophia II's and Pass Labs etc I auditioned the Audio Research REF 3 and REF 110 with the Sophia 2's. I was looking for a new amp and linestage for my verity parsifals. I have heard the Sophia 2's a lot and felt that I knew their sound fairly well. With the Audio Research there... | |
| Toothbrush's featured in Stereophile I am sick and tired of reviews like this, totally subjective and Sam did not even consider blinded, (or tasteless) testing of this brush with other tooth brushes. Also, there was no information on the types of tooth pastes used, just a blind state... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? Tom, this endpin you are talking about, can we see it, where is information available. | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? I play the cello and am familiar with the Luis and Clark instruments. They are not for everyone. They sound very big, project well but lack the sweetness and neuance of a good wood instrument. Some will use them as an outdoor instrument as they ar... |
