| Speaker cable recommendations I've been using 47 Labs OTA (26 gauge solid CU) since 2001 with 300B and 2A3 DH/SET amps. I started out with Reynaud Twins MkII speakers and then switched to vintage wide band single driver speakers in 2002 (Stepehens Trusonic 80FR, Elac S517 plu... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? I like Willy Deville, especially his later performances. He seems to combine Dylan with a few others mentioned in this in this thread. DeKay | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Warren Zevon? I haven't thought of him for years. if so, great story teller. DeKay | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... Sorry no... The last time I listened to newer cartridges was around 2010 and they were a couple of inexpensive Denon MC's popular @ the time. I have 20 year old Grado Prestige Silver/Gold bodies, an old lackluster Ortofon 15 something which soun... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? thecarpathian: I need to find a thumb drive loaded with older pics and then figure out how to download it to the iMac. I’m up for rotating cat pic’s with my listed system, just need to find the data and figure a few things out first. There are ... | |

| How to copy a picture soix: If the pic is on your iPad and you can do a split screen you could try "dragging" the pic to A’Gon’s system pics. If it works direct the person to your system page here. DeKay | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... cannula: I was suggesting starting with a new/different cartridge (only) fo a start. A cartridge with a bit more detail and jump factor may be all you need. Your TT is reviewed as being slightly smoother than typical non-suspended decks in its ... | |
| How to copy a picture Just figured out how to add pics to listed system, but only have cat pics (no gear pics) and I don't even know how to use our new cameras, including the one in the iPod. DeKay | |
| How to copy a picture Soix: Add the pic from your computer to the space next to your moniker (I just added a pic of one of our cats - see). Once done hold the "control" key down and click on the pic selecting "copy image address" and use that link to add it to a post... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... With what you have maybe start by simply trying another cartridge with enough output to mate with your current Moon? Based upon reviews the Performance V2 can easily be bettered (the Ace/Concept have stellar reviews). If this does it then good (... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... What are you running now? Having used Thorens/SME combos my entire adult life I would start by comparing their new 1600/1601 decks to some of the non-suspended models you list. The 1601 has automatic lift and platter stop @ the end of play, but ... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. The Micca cables Lak mentions in the above referenced thread are worth try. I've been running a 6' pair at the computer since mid October, 2022. It's not a high end system, but it's a nice sounding nearfield setup. I've used Kimber 4VS and 4TC... | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... fertguy: MC came back for a little over 2 weeks in late Oct/early Nov, 2022 and then disappeared again. He's currently listed as suspended. DeKay | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? My Musical Fidelity X-A1 has a separate toroidal power supply (its X-A2 bigger brother came with one as well). Not super high end but a very nice "tube-like" sounding SS amp from 20+ years ago. I just need a set of metric Allen wrenches and some... |
