| Cable Burn In Well said @drrsutliff !Cable burn-in is for real. Once everything is hooked up and working, play music through the system with a CD on repeat. After about a week the cables should be sounding their best. | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS @catsally1 Your wife is an attorney? Shut up! You had this thing in the bag with in house legal talent! Nothing like sending correspondence on attorney letterhead. Super glad to hear that this is being resolved in your favor! Hopefully the ... | |
| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl @atmasphere You said: " Put another way, if you really do have 'a good system', you will hear less ticks and pops- it will minimize them, without other coloration, such as a loss of highs."The loss of highs issue was a real concern for me when t... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR A good general rule when considering loudspeakers: Any really fine pair of transducers should be able to realistically reproduce all genres of music. In the case of smaller monitors or stand mounted speakers, augmenting the bass with quality sub... | |

| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl @atmasphere Thanks for explaining so much about what is going on with the audibility or lack thereof of Pops and Ticks. The point you made above about having a stylus that rides in a different portion of the groove is spot on. My 70's and 80'... | |

| insurance and shipping with UPS 1st - For the life of me I can't imagine shipping a piece of audio gear of such value without packaging it up myself. 2nd - You're talking about a 100+ lb. amp.!! A piece like that either needs double boxing in extremely heavy gauge cardboard or... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR +1 @stereo5 WOW! A great deal to be had on the reference speaker of the brand you already own. Pull the trigger. | |
| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl This tic and pop issue is a big frickin' deal. I had no idea how clean my vinyl really was until upgrading the phono amplifier. For some, this is probably old news that the phono stage can so radically alter the audibility of surface noise but i... | |
| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl To maximize its performance, I like to play a pink noise band from the Cardas Series 2 Burn-in LP for about 15 minutes then use the "Articulator" on the E-250 which thoroughly demagnetizes the coils of my MC cartridge. | |

| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl It seems that there is some agreement here about the importance of a robust, well executed power supply allowing for an overload margin that minimizes the sound of vinyl surface imperfections. I wonder if any of the "budget" phono stages can accom... | |
