| thin, very flexible, warm sounding interconnect... Morrow audio. Great stuff, and very reasonable. | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? Larryken, those people are SICK. I have hardly a hundred spares myself. Wait, that just counts the preamp tubes. Never mind. | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? Hey, if you're willing to suffer the slings and arrows of SS, who am I to argue?Dave (24 tubes and counting) | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? Great cartridge, and not just for the money. Problematic though -- it has never sounded less than good on three of my arms -- that cheap 12" cherry wood tonearm, a JMW 10.5, and an SME IIIs (with added headshell weight) -- but one friend with a su... | |
| Unconnected Drain Wires ? I'm using power cable (CryoMax III) that hasshielded hot/neutral/ground wires AND a separate unshielded drain wire. This may be what the OP is talking about. Various discussions on AA's Cable Asylum recommend attaching such drain wires at the sour... | |

| Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes As promised above, a report on my two-package FedEx Ground shipment from Maryland to Oregon. It arrived there yesterday in perfect condtion, five days after I dropped it off here. | |
| VPI turnover Gerbie, I tried EVERYTHING to solve the CJ's static electricity behavior. Two room humidifiers, static tinsel draped over everything (including wrapping it around the arm of a "dust bug" device), covering the W-W carpet in front of the system with... | |
| VPI turnover My CJ Premier 17LS2 was a holy terror as far as static was concerned. When I switched to an Aesthetix Calypso the static problems diminished to the vanishing point. The CJ tended to mute often when I touched it, and I got loud static pops whenever... | |
| VPI turnover Static electricity perhaps? Does it happen year around or only in cold, dry months? | |
| Reel to Reel Restoration/Repair Not true, Buconero. Some of the Otari decks (among others) will work fine. In fact, the TP folks seems to be leaning to Otari these days. | |
| Wall made of CORK Cork has a distinctive odor. A wall of cork will have a lot of it. You've never smelled it? | |
| Wall made of CORK I hope you like the smell of cork :-) | |
| Can Sound-Smith tip sound as good as original? I've had experience only with Soundsmith's ruby cantilever OC line contact version, but after three cartridge retips (Koetsu Rosewood, Grado The Reference, Denon DL-103), I would say yes. In each case, the retipped cartridges very much reflected t... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood retip or replace Raul, no offense, but you can pretty much tell when this cartridge (at least my friend's) is in need of a retip. The diamond and cantilever looked okay but it was many years old, had at least three owners and thousands of hours on it. Honestly, it... |
