Pass X250:does it hum thru RCA's like Krell KSA?
I'm using unshielded RCAs on my X150, no hum at all. 
Solid Copper Cables
Could be the old solid core versus stranded "sound" your hearing. 
TG Audio vs Pursang vs Poiema Interconnects
Hey Steve! Hey Bob S.! Hope all has been going well for you guys lately. What vintage were the pair of Sasons I heard? 
TG Audio vs Pursang vs Poiema Interconnects
Hmm. If I assume correctly that Ridgestreetaudio and Music1st are the same two guys I ran into a few weeks back at the "Audiofest" in Michigan then the speaker they had set up would be the same Sason Ltd mentioned above. If all that assuming is co... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Of the cartridges mentioned I've heard the Dynavector, Grado and Clearaudio. My preference was the Dynavector and I feel it's strengths are frequency extension, especially the upper frequency range, and a natural sounding midrange. I was consideri... 
Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H
Yes I use the rear firing tweeter. My VR2s are about 5 feet from the rear wall (which is treated with 4 panels) and I feel like I can walk into the soundstage. In my opinion it's very effective in the right circumstances and blends well with the f... 
Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H

JMW9/Dynavector 17D2 setup
Wow, still churning on this after two months! Glad to hear things are finally working out. I have a feeling once you get the new Karat installed all the troubles will have been worth it. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
I'm pulling out all my favorites; SRV, Diana Krall, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Metallica, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Led Zepplin and anything else I can find. I picked up a new Lehmann Cube SE two weeks ago and got my Dynavector 17d2mkII this wee... 
Clearaudio emotions turntable ???

JMW9/Dynavector 17D2 setup
A little late coming into this but on my Scout I am using this cartridge...2 #6 brass washers under the mounting screws and I am tracking at 2.0g right now. Even have room to spare with the dropped counter weight on the arm. 
DK-Girl In The Other Room, anyone heard it?
Good point Arthur, maybe I spoke too soon. I need to double check to see what type of recording or transfer it is on the LP when I get it. Maybe my hopes were too high. 
What songs do you never get tired of?
SRV - Rivieria Paradise 
DK-Girl In The Other Room, anyone heard it?
Of course! I saw her recently in concert too. If your familiar with her style and like it this one will not let you down. I've got her Girl in the Other Room LP on pre-order at Music Direct also. http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?cat...
