| Suggestion on XLR Cables If you are willing to experiment read my thread regarding Tchernov cables.And forget all this pro junk, they use them because they want to save a lot, that's all. Ralph, at least at times, uses Purist Audio cables for shows, no matter how much he ... | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? I have decided to get the Reference MK II. Let's hope I won't starve. | |
| Compliance question Cartridge vs Tonearm Opus125, I think it is a perfect moment for you to replace the turntable and then the cartridge. | |
| Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated? I have a 16 year old Redgum integrated and for the last five years that I've had it the sound is exactly the same. Well, that was wrong, the sound is better because of upgrades in other parts of the system. I am going to send it to Australia for a... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Purist approach is either both tube or transistor. I would make an exception for hybrid Ypsilon and Lamm power amps. I would never do solid state preamp and tube amp, the other way around may be okay. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've never heard McLaughlin play a pop tune at a restaurant. It takes place in Monaco, I understand, that's where he lives. Quite a life-affirming song. I thought that the singer was good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ1SaCHoakk | |

| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Syntax, your ancestors must've come from Ancient Greece. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thinking is an advanced process and cannot possibly concern them. | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? williewonka, I don't think I will have this Nottingham arm modified. One reason - I might upgrade it to the newest Nott arm in the next couple of years, and another - I cannot be certain that it will actually sound better. I could just upgrade the... | |
| Burning/breaking in new equipment? itunes. You could rent films for under $5 or buy them for $10 - $15 depending on title and resolution. You would need to donwload free itunes software to be able to do it.youtube has streaming service for many titles, $2 - $5. | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10, yes, that’s my point. Find a female doctor, sometimes they are better for unclear cases. Their often deeper perception and intuition guide them. They are also usually better at sharing pain.Take care. | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Focal Utopia should do it. There is one here for sale for about $12k, you could probably have it for $10k. It can sound a little bright with some solid state equipment and wrong cables. |
