| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available Mechans,You posted in another thread about your experience with homc vs mm. Did that include mi? Just wondering what mm/mi you have tried? Is your dyna the 900ish one, dv20xh? An equipment designer I trust also loves this cart if it's the one I'm... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? It seems to me you have enough tubes in your system to experiment with some solid state options within your price range and quite possibly find a great all around over balance along the quiet attribute your looking for. I have tried Peter's Libert... | |
| THE most sonically dissappointing (lp) you own of great music? Brian Ellis Group- Escondido Sessions. Suffers from home brew DIY production but damn! Agree with op on War on Drugsi have yet to pick up an original but I do have an A&M half speed, "audiophile" series of Jobim's Wave that I may have listed a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I hope no one has asked this question already so all apologies, but has anyone tried using an sr fuse in their power conditioner? I have a black in my preamp that was a worthy investment. Id try some in my mono's but that is a pricier layout and... | |
| You can only take 5 albums to a deserted Island... If I was forced to grab 5 it wouldn't be something I know. I have those feelings and memories implanted. I think it would be some classical music I've only dip my toe into and hope I chose wisely and I don't hate it. But just in case Id try and s... | |
| What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try? A tubed dual mono phono stage w/volume controls with an extra passive input for the day when I have more money for a digital source. The Coincident Ststement phono reads like it would sound good for my purposes. | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables Just moved from solid silver ic's and solid copper red enamel speaker wire to multi strand Ic and speaker wire and really enjoying it. Things are not as incisively detailed but the music is relaxed and seems to be alive in a way that I don't want ... | |

| New Year, New Music Wow this was blowing my mind today. "Arcology follows in the free-form footwork of Thug Entrancer's debut album Death After Life. A narrative of an imagined alien colony existing between the fabric of known / unknown worlds, Arcology explores high... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Needed I had some thiel 1.5's paired with a rel t3or5. Purportedly they could sound bright. I did not think so. I ran em with Solid state Odyssey Cyclops with a tubed pre. And that rig was sweet. I loved those speakers. with that sub it was perfect. My r... | |
| I've got the Feeva.. and the prescription ain't more cowbell! Most definitely and at one time it really bothered me that it bothered me. This is supposed to be fun and an escape from other stuff that leaves one looking for a break. Thankfully the worst symptoms of early audiophilia have been in remission for... | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? Best room I heard was Odyssey. Room filling wide and deep stage, great natural realistic tone. Not without two issues, room related, a boomy bass heavy left side, which Klaus was obviously frustrated with and the other, a somewhat noticible low le... | |
| The illusion of soundstage. In my quest it has also been a give th and taketh away scenario. In looking for more depth I lost imaging width and settled for a middle ground. This was done moving speakers in and back and wider and narrower. So room and speaker interaction. The... | |
