| It's October I want to hear horror stories about equipment. Congratulations - you joined those wars.No-one hunts with 11" blade, by the way, except Rambo. | |
| Anybody into 80s big music? Dead Can Dance started out in 80s. Also, John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia/Al di Meola guitar trio.It's big music in different sense. | |
| Golden Rules for Cable & Power Cord Arrangement It depends, you must listen and see if you hear any difference.In my system almost all cables and cords are very well shielded, and I hear no difference whatever the arrangement. Still, I prefer when they don't touch easch other, just in case. | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Digital mastering is what destroys good analog recording. I have records like that, it's junk. Analog only, everywhere. | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? You educated guys now totally confused the hell out of me.So what should I want? Class A 500 wt/ch tube amp? | |
| Nottingham resonance control Davt, you treated your Spacedeck very well, did everything for it to sing.I think, my first upgrade will be either Nottingham Wave Mechanic or better interconnect from the phono stage, depending on opportunity. I currently use Purist Audio Maximus... | |

| Nottingham resonance control Sorry, I saw Audio Selections cones on Music Direct site. | |
| Nottingham resonance control I could also tear off that rubber and put Audio Selection steel cones in its place. They have the adhesive and are adjustable, $10 each from Audio Advisor. I am thinking about it. Should be an improvement, but you never really know until you try. ... | |
| Gryphon products in the US I can't afford Gryphon at present but I do want to own their amps, including phono stage.Rarely, but they do come up for sale here. Probably more realistic is to buy in Europe and have Gryphon convert the voltage and ship it over here. Will not be... | |
| Purist Audio power cords and cables Maximus and Colossus used to be great value in Purist line. I don't know how they compare to newest Purist or other brands. I've been using Maximus RCA for years and really like it, and Colossus speaker cables. | |
| Nottingham resonance control Interesting about Stillpoints and Nottingham. Yes, $800 for the base is too much for me right now, which is not to say it wouldn't be worth it, I suspect it would. One day perhaps, I am going to keep my Spacedeck for a long time, at least for five... | |
| RCA Interconnects - Max Length Someone here, I think it was Albert, once ran 6 meters of Purist Dominus RCAs with no loss from phono to pre. Don't remember what he used. You can ask him. |
