Review: Sumiko Pearl Cartridge
No the Pearl is not self threaded, it requires fastening nuts. Sumiko may have supplied longer screws by now. If not its not a problem most hardware stores that sell bulk screws will have a supply of these longer screws. The ACE hardware store in ... 
Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio?
I can see now I am in company of youngsters. Oops, gotta go time for the early bird a Denny's on the highway LOL 
Review: Harman Kardon T-60 Turntable
I have never known a drive motor to go out on these. Might want to check the small brass drive pulley on the motor shaft. There is a tiny set screw in the brass pulley. Check that first as over a period of time it can loosen.Yes other motors from ... 
Review: Musical Design CD-2 CD Player
Two versions of this player were available. Standard version at $1,495.00 and the signature version at $1,995.00. Of course these prices were from 1998 as that was my last reference point. Today these usually sell from $500.00 to $800.00 depending... 
The best CD Player for the money
If memory serves me correct, I believe the Cary line of CD Players have tube units that also decode HDCD. Quite expensive when new, but usually can be purchased for about half on the resale market. 
Review: Yamaha CR-840 Vintage AM/FM Receiver Amplifier
If one gets a chance to try the Yamaha CR 1020, give that one a try. It truly rivaled the McIntosh 4100 Receiver, at far less cost in the used market and when new the price differential was considerable. 
The best CD Player for the money
One of the better combos that has come through here has been the Muse Model 5 Transport, and Muse Model 2 plus DAC and at current used prices this could be within the budget.Plus Muse is in business so service is not an issue. In single chassis pl...

How significant is a power cord upgrade?
Science or snake oil. The jury remains out on esoteric power cables. Ever wonder why the likes of manufacturers such as Krell, Pass Labs, Levinson and others, do not supply esoteric power cords? Makes one wonder in a way. After all what those prod... 
Running for Dummest question EVER
Sheffield Labs recordings were direct to disc as opposed to the tape transfers used by MoFi.For those of us who were active audiophiles in the late 70's and early 80's, the name Sheffield Lab conjures up something special. Doug Sax and Lincoln May... 
Running for Dummest question EVER
Okay heres the skinny on the MoFi Lps and how they were done. Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs,as the first record-pressing house to offer commercially available half-speed-mastered LPs of popular music, MoFi set the stage for what was to come. And at $... 
Review: Pass Labs Aleph 3 Amplifier
Not to disparage Onkyo, however ,as for me I will take anything from Nelson Pass and not look back, as opposed to products from the asian basin. Only God and Nelson knows how many times his designs have been ripped off over the past 35 years. Whil... 
Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge
Compliance of the DL 160 is x 10-6cm/Dyne. Would have to know the effective mass of the project tone arm to see if it is a good match.Note:*Denon publishes their dynamic compliance specifications relative to 100Hz . The actual compliance at 10Hz w...
