Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Hello Kat, in the ecample I had in mind, we used LPs, a Spectral cartrige, made by Scantec I think, with a Goldmund Reference at the time. The amps were old Spectral 200 class A and Jadis 200 monoblocks . The Jadis preamp was easy to discern with ...

Bmpnyc, you will get +'s for reasons hard to fathom out, such as you will get minus points without exactly knowing why. I also wish people would speak out either way. But mostly they don't seem to, with some notable exceptions however. I would not... 
What temperature is your cartridge?????
Readymix, thanks for mentioning humidity. As I read the above posts I thought " and what about humidity " and there you were. I sometimes use a vaporiser in the vicinity of the turntable, which is outside of the listening area and also a small spo... 
What causes listener fatique? cure?
Yes, generally its grain, grittiness, forward high frequencies, as you say. But personally I also find, that anything in your setup, which keeps you from being drawn into the music, so that you are consciously or unconsciously forced to listen to ...

Eantala, thanks for pointing out Dunlavy's thoughts on this subject for us, though VERY thoughtprovoking, I find it a little biased and onesided, but then are we not all in one way or antother...and Koen thanks for your post, you should perhaps ha... 
Changing Amps?? Are you Sure??

JD don't worry, you will be fine. Instead of seeing that shrink I would eat a lot of New Zealand RHUBARB. It helps forming antibodies against electronic gubledeegook and as a rule lets you upgrade safely.
