| What do audiophiles want from a cable? "I am a cable denier, but the Shunyata cords were clearly better than my existing cables, no question."This statement speaks for itself. | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player "so, the real question is whether there is a CD player for less than $2k that sounds better than the 105D?"Insert the word "new" in front of "CD player" and the answer may well be "no" or "not in any audibly significant way". It seems that the 105... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. o,The digital gauge is much better and less likely to damage your stylus than the see-saw gauge. Make sure that the one you bought is non-magnetic.My Grado "The Reference" was the low-output version but I never cottoned to its sound in my system. ... | |
| Refurbishing Avalon Ascent Mk 2 Erik has a great point. I assumed that was done and no remedy was available. | |
| Refurbishing Avalon Ascent Mk 2 Normally, the dome in the center of the driver that protects the voice coil from dust and such. I just looked at pic of your speakers and see that it has a large single dome like the mids in my Thiel CS5i's. In that case, try different locations ... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Hi o,The wood body Grados came with a very nice stylus guard that stays in place until deliberately removed. If lost, careful application of light cardboard or paper strip bent into a "U" affixed with tape to the sides of the cartridge will work. ... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Very nice and helpful response Geoff. I thank you for it.My Dad always used to say this as I was growing up and I found myself quoting it often as a young adult, usually as an attitude of condescension toward the less fortunate and destitute I now... | |
| Amp ac cable connection So now we have four (Tara Labs, Synergistic Research, Audience, and Audioguest Niagara) that have been recommended as non-current-limiting options. | |
| H2O Audios' M250 Special Edition Mono Block Amplifiers Yep. Active shielding actually. This is a known problem with the FPB series of Krell amps when used with SE (RCA) preamps. These amps are differentially balanced (only) so they only have balanced XLR (for connection to other brands of differential... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Sounds good, o. Don't breath the fiberglass! The fluted wooden drapery poles from BB&B should be here any day, so I will then get started on the DIY diffusers and let you and Randy know how it goes.Best to you o,Dave | |
