| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare Just to echo the previous responses, the decca responds most postively to unipivot damped arms. I've been using decca cartridges for the last 20+ years and have become very familiar with all of the little nuances associatedwith this cartridge. I'm... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A... Audiofeil, I don't disagree that they sound different but I think you would agree that if you are trying to choose one over the other or one instead of the other, you have to do some type of comparison!How do you choose one thing over another, fli... | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment Yes, anti-cables interconnects. I parentheses that in my response. | |
| Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A... Skaloumbakas, I'm so glad that you were honest enough to do what you did.I've said for years that vinyl is better than digital hands down.CD or digital which ever you want to call it was gimmick from the start. Designed so that record companies co... | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment I second the anti-cables, they're the best by far of any cables costing 25x their price! The only downside, they take an enormously long time to break-in(interconnects 400-500hrs.)speaker cables 150-200 hrs. leaning more toward 200hrs. Most people... | |
| Why are older tubes so much sought after Chadeffect, I hope you're right! but history has shown that you're probably wrong. As witnessed by the tube resurgence of the last 10-15 yrs. when obviously newer and better solidstate technologies have evolved, tube equipment is still thriving! S... | |
| Why are older tubes so much sought after I wonder what will happen when all of the nos tubes are gone? and no one will have to pay the outrageous prices folks are charging for them. Will highend audio survive?What will we do? Lord help us!Somewhere in this scenario sanity has taken a lon... | |

| Suggestions for "balanced" interconnects? Audio Metallurgy GA-0's very good! and very affordable. see them on the auction. | |

| Which CD would you recommend? Why not CD-3mkII? It is better than what you're talking about upgrading to. | |
| ProAc Response 1SC with ARC 150.2 Issue Clean undistorted power even in excess is much better than less power that's distorted. Distortion is what causes clipping in most cases.The 150.2 has a built in clipping mechanism, that will shut the amp down when it reaches dangerous cilpping le... | |
| How is Audio Research's Retubing Services? Trust me,you want ARC to do the work as they will go over the unit and check everything out. If anything else is wrong with the unit, they will find it.Also, if any other updates or improvements have been done to the particular unit since it was m... | |
| Best next step to upgrade sound? The best bang for your buck is powercords. This is probably one of the most overlooked areas in terms of upgrades but will yield significant improvement in sound. | |
| Acurus A-250, Adcom GFA-555 or Audio Research The audio research is the best of the bunch. |
