Phonostage question ...
I would concur with those that suggested hear your new system first and listen to it for a while. It will permit you to have a better idea of what you have. Having said that you will likely then want to hear better stages but at least you will hav... 
MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns?
I think there will likely be conflicting comments on this but would make a few points having begun this thread. First, I have noticed quite a bit of improvement in my cartridge since using the demagnetizer. The sound muddies a bit for a few lps an... 
Upgrade to Piega C10's??
BillcoI would echo calloways comments. As always I should start by saying it sounds like you are very happy with the p10 and if money is an issue or it will cause strife at home then you might think twice. If that is not the case (ie no down sides... 
Has anyone demoed Audio Teknes cables?
For what its worth, I have some experience with the ensemble and the audiotekne, though it is limited. I have had the audiotekne interconnects and used them for about a year and a half. I have had the speaker cables for about 3 years. The intercon...

Audiomeca Mephisto II problem with copied CD's
Dear PacratMy pleasure to help out. The slab is actually a symposium svelte shelf. The player sits on rollerblocks upside down. The stand is a custom built unit. Proper isolation is really important for this player and I would strongly suggest som... 
Audiomeca Mephisto II problem with copied CD's
Dear PacratSorry I didn't see the post sooner. Opening the lid on the II (I can't say for the IIx) does not cause problems. Just don't touch the lid (ie try to open or close it when you are playing it). With regards to cleaning, I believe there is... 
Audiomeca Mephisto II problem with copied CD's
I can't make a lot of comment on the copied cds since I tend not to use them but leaving the lid open on my mephisto II (not the X) is one way I can actually make some disks sound better. This tip was raised by a number of people and I have found ... 
I am considering the Piega C-8 Limited or the P10.

Verdier Platine turntable?
Though I do not have a verdier a good friend does and it is a very interesting table. Engineering wise it is fascinating. Appearance wise it is very nice to some but a bit industrial for others given its price tag. With regards to sound i would ra... 
Review: Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Tube amp
A super review. Helpful in many ways, and for other equipment 
Advise Needed, Best speakers for approx $15,000
I would echo the opinion about going to somewhere where you can audition things but I am in the same scenario as you and the fact is that auditioning outside of your home will only give you some idea about what is up. Still it is worthwhile if you... 
Help a complete vidio idiot
dear newbiethanks for the info. I am just starting to figure this out. I am trying to figure out if I should keep this as simple as possible or go slightly more high end. It really is for the kids but I may end up liking it too (hard to know). Out...
