| Cable Quandary The better your system is, the more aware of imaging. I have many times had a shift caused by an interconnect being slightly moved, perhaps inadventently while doing something else. I like XLR connectors that lock, and I changed all my RCA to loc... | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling back to basics http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm I always want a proper gauge of zip first, then compare anything else to that. I'd rather spend the money on something else than a cable IF I cannot hear a preferable difference. | |
| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? his warranty is for 3 years. they are not doing him a favor, but they are offering a new supposedly factory perfect unit for $400. within the confines of their ability to solve his problem/inability to fix his unit. | |
| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? I'd go for the new one for $400. Perhaps you could return the existing unit to a site in your country, for smaller cost to you, let them group ship it to China with other stuff if they cannot repair it. | |

| EveAnna has sold her biz Thanks for sharing, I did a quick search, found out ’the wife’ was far more active in the company than you might have assumed. I’m glad to have learned that much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manley_Laboratories I’m gonna read this when I get ... | |

| Old SS amps I was given a McIntosh MC2250, it was many years old, I used it trouble free for many more years, until I went back to efficient horn speakers and tube preamp/amp. https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/legacy-products/amplifiers/MC2250 Had it checked by... | |
| Phono pre amp I sent a few mid priced phono preamps with great reviews back, just didn't like them, meanwhile, this was my pick for a temp phono preamp, might seem like a joke, but even the few friends I have loaned it to for their temporary use have agreed, an... | |
| Attention Horn Owners One of my least favorite things to do is get to LI. Once there, quite nice. In reverse, LI to NJ, if you would like to hear a Vintage Pair of Horn Speakers with 15" woofers (no subs), that include a pair of level controls to adjust them in any sp... | |

| Thorens TD124 “Mk1”/Mk2 plinth Great choice, I wish I had kept my TD124, it produced the best bass I ever had (with V15Vxmr beryllium cantilever tracking at 1.0gm on SME 3009) but that wonderfully machined bearing is very susceptible to vertical transmission, my floors were too... |
