| Stranded vs Solid Copper @towertone 60Hz and you’re talking about skin effect? Are you sure you’re an electrician? | |
| Stranded vs Solid Copper Get a real electrician and fix the problem first. Then worry about sound. | |
| Chinese phono pre Nothing that I’ve heard. | |
| Best MM? SME Model 10A turntable. It comes stock with an SME 309 variation tonearm.All of the best mastering engineers from the golden era of music (60s-80s) preferred MM to MC. I’ve also personally compared MC and MM to many real actual master tapes. MC i... | |
| Best MM? 2M Black is a masterpiece. It has drive and life and holography. I’ve owned a Delos and it couldn’t hold a candle. | |
| Warm HDMI cable? @soundermn That’s not how digital works. It’s been explained here and all over the web. The horse has been beaten to death. Please go do some research to educate yourself and stop posting this nonsense. | |
| Best MM? 2M Black is my all time favorite cartridge. Listening to it will be an absolute trip. | |

| Phono cable and preamp for soundsmith Carmen mk2 @rauliruegas MI cartridges are very sensitive to capacitance. I know from experience from using Ortofon 2M Black, Nagaoka MP-500, Stanton, etc. | |
| Phono cable and preamp for soundsmith Carmen mk2 My favorite phono preamps are Parasound JC3+, Micromega MyGroov, and Parasound JC3 Jr., in that order.The best tonearm cable (DIN to RCA) that I found after testing more cables than I can count, is the Ortofon 6NX-TSW-1010 L. | |
| 'Diamond' cantilevers: a man's best friend? That’s what I already said 10 posts ago... | |
| 'Diamond' cantilevers: a man's best friend? @rauliruegas All of those numbers are for wire/rods. Please show me Young’s modulus for diamond rod versus boron pipe. A boron pipe will be significantly more rigid than the numbers for boron rod you have listed. Boron pipe will be as rigid as a d... |
