| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Anyway they (my bones) certainly need some exercise. However I also discovered that my Glanz M5, AT 180, Signet 9 Cl, Stanton 981 and Glanz 31 L are better carts. That is to say 'better for my testes**** Apparently, one bone in particular ;-)R... | |
| What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl ****In other words, how does it become "better".****1. It becomes better if, IN YOUR SYSTEM, the resulting sound brings you closer to the sound of live music. It is popular to dismiss this concept; but at the end of the day, precisely because ther... | |

| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Dear Rower30, I thought that this issue had been put to rest; but, it seems that I struck a chord earlier since you have brought it up again. One of the things that I really like about this forum is the opportunity to exchange ideas. But, the pers... | |
| need an amp... Mswobo, don't let the jokes discourage you. My advise, which will cost you very little:-Don't change any major component yet. Sounds like you are relatively new to the audio hobby; this is a great opportunity to learn about some basics that will h... | |

| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Hi Brownsfan, you are facing an interesting dilemma. I believe you will be hard pressed to find a dynamic speaker in that price range that will satisfy your need for correct timbre, coherence, and ability to throw a convincing stage with smaller e... | |
| sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring May I ask how you tested the wire? Are you planning on wiring the inside of the arm only, or is the wire going all the way to the preamp? I have some suggestions, but am unclear about what exactly you are doing. If you are replacing the internal t... | |

| Best single-malt Scotch... I am reminded of the time I took my six year old son to The Big Apple Circus. We had a wonderful time and the kid was bursting with excitement. Afterwards, as we left the arena, the attendees were confronted by PETA activists yelling at us and sho... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. ****Well, I've heard that a bunch of times. I don't buy the, "I'm a (fill in the blank) so I'm better than you at 'right' ". That's about as bias as you get.****Rower, I think that if you read my comments again you will note that I made it clear t... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. ****the issue is the unreliability of sense perception.if two people go to a concert sitting next to each other, and the concert is recorded.at some point in time, say one of them purchases the cd.both concert goers listen to the cd of the concert... |
