Which cables go with what?????
Abe:Hmm, gender VS attractiveness is generally not an issue with heterosexual men/women (rolling of the eyes).I think the photos viewed were from a Hifi show (can't remember the event off hand).Anyway, I was just kidding about "it" bugging me. 
Which cables go with what?????
RCH:Regardless of what/any intent Steve had in regard to starting this thread, I will say that his premise is an odd one (this not being the first time he has wierded me out, nor hopefully will it be the last).I can't imagine seriously discussing ... 
Make me feel better
Well David:You have certainly improved since the time that you used a powered up Aleph 3 for a foot stool and ended up branding a portion of your body.Now you can consider yourself an older/wiser much more delicate/refined "klutz".Feel better? 
Talk Me off the Ledge - A cry for help
Bundee:Take one of your thinnest LP's and place it on the bare platter. If you use a mat, place it on top of this LP and then try playing one of the problem LP's. This is a quick/dirty way to change VTA.Lowering the rear/tail end of the cartridge ... 
Starting a new system...
Sorry, no experience here in regard to building a system from the ground up with the listed cables - however I may be able to suggest perhaps a better starting point (different cables to "sprout from") with a tad more info.You might also consider ... 
Embarrassing Tube Story
Reminds me that I need to have the Tung-Sol 6sn7GT's tested. From what I have read they are more forward sounding then the old RCA/Sylvania 5692's. Might be a good match/nice change if used in combination with the 5692's.I will swing by Armetron w... 
Procedure for setting arm for Thorens TD165
Antiskate is adjusted by a hanging weight. If you don't have this item you can make one from a piece of shiny/finished thread (-w- a loop @ one end and a weight of your choice secured @ the other end). The weight should be approx. 5 grams, which i... 
Which cables go with what?????
I suggest that this thread be deleted due to an overwhelming influence by either the heat, or more likely the economy. 
Which cables go with what?????
Cornfed:Boring can sometimes be excellent (Henning Mankell novels for example).Now if you will, please do "jaded" (which though never excellent, is often entertaining:-). 
Dynaco owners please comment
Just a guess, but your 120C may be an upgraded or modified unit (or perhaps a later version). I recall Panor (sp) selling various revised Dynaco models in the past 10 years (tube amps/preamps and something based on the SS 150, I think).I am not fa... 
Which cables go with what?????
SoGood:"I do expect to someday read a post where the poster has gone out and bought a PC, and now wants to know what system he should build around it, he may get a few answers on it."I never posted, but kind of did this very thing the last time I ... 
Which cables go with what?????
No such thing as neutral, especially when matching many parts as a whole. There is no known reference as to what a master tape "should" sound like (even a memory of the live event does not qualify due to the recording chain, which does not even co... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Abex: This is 47's new line of cables. As far as I know they are not sold as a kit, but are factory terminated.Where as a single OTA "kit" can often equip two simple stereo systems with IC's and speaker cable, these are quite a bit more expensive ... 
Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............
Don't feel bad Ben. I blew off the Beatle's reunion which took place on 04/01/74 @ the K-Mart Mall (Iowa City, IA) because I thought the whole thing to be an April Fool's Day joke. 
get vinyl rig or audio aero capital
Tom:Yes, why not hook it up in the BR for starters if you have a place to set it?The following is a link to an inexpensive phono preamp that looks interesting (the $300 version offered in the US). Not familar with it myself, just recently ran acro...
