| Cables more hype than value? Rok, read again. I think you have gotten yourself worked up to the point that you see (read) what you want to see. My comment said "no believers", NOT "no(n) believers". Interesting, no? BTW, one the fascinating (?) things about these forums is th... | |

| Cables more hype than value? ****1. It gives technically astute people, who many of us admire and value the opinions of, a negative view of those of people active in high-end audio. The cable lie reflects poorly on all of us.****The implication being that no believers are tec... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Music means many things and between them rythmum IMHO could be the most important atribute in a music sound performance****Precisely the basis for many of my comments/arguments in the past. I would only qualify it by saying that it IS the most... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Good work, Chris. I look forward to trying the magnetic clamp arrangement, and will post my impressions. So far, we are hearing similar effects with the two different arrangements that we have used. I do get the strong feeling that my current arra... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Sonofjim, you broke one of the cardinal rules: One variable at a time! Apparently the new amp is an improvement with "junk", but functional, cable. As far as making an assessment about how "good" the Monster junk is compared to your regular cables... | |
| How to contact George Bischoff/Mark Porzilli Excellent! Thank you, Al; I will try those.Actually, while I "have you on the line", allow me to tell you tell you why I want to contact him; you can probably answer my question: I have a Melos 222C preamp that I occasionally use for it's line-sta... | |
| Cables more hype than value? ****Don't try to save us! We will figure out what's best for us. ****Amen! Which goes back to my question: Why does it matter so much to non-believers, that some of us believe?Now, acknowledging that there will be many exceptions, a really interes... | |
