| Phono Cable Breakin So, can I just hook it up to my TV, which runs a good 12 hours a day or my garage stereo which I can run longer without using the tube life on my main stereo? Yes you can | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. Try some egg crate anti static foam, cut into 2 peak by 2 peak squares and lay the cable between the peaks. Often can be had for free. | |

| Martin Logan CLX ART The DSP with your preamp should help with the integration of the subs and the mains, like the CLX filters which compensate for the natural roll off of the mains. You also might want to check out the Martin Logan Owners website https://www.martin... | |
| Martin Logan CLX ART I have a pair of CLX with a pair of Descent i subs with the CLX filters installed. No complaints about dynamics from me, but my days of listening at near concert levels are long past, speed and detail are impressive. Make sure your room is larg... | |
| DH Labs Difficult to beat from a price/performance perspective. If you are looking to impress others with high end (read price) cables these won't have the brand recognition (read ego boost) that some seek. Are their better cables out there? Likely the... | |

| Experience with XRCDs Have several, XRCD and XRCD 2, the sound quality is excellent. "I was expecting prices to come down, but they’re still expensive." Agreed, even worse when you convert to Canadian . | |
| Anyone replace ceramic caps with film? "Circuit designer select ceramic caps for a reason, in some place on the circuit ceramic caps is the best choice." Agreed, you need to understand the application. As general rule of thumb, if in the signal path film is superior to ceramic, and... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. RIP I always liked the cover art on Bat Out of Hell by Richard Corben. I used to read a lot of the Heavy Metal magazine in those days, he was a regular. | |
