| Anyone ever mount a Clearaudio TQ-1 to a Micro Sei I had this arm for a number of years on a Clearaudio TT. It was nice while it worked, but what a major pain to maintain! Any tiny spec of dust on the LP or the rails or rollers and this got stuck. I was always getting up to bump this to get the mu... | |
| Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar?? Wow, this thread keeps on going like an Everready bunny.Grr6001 - This is not a "one cable bests all others" thread.

But with all the whining about level matching to .1db, how much d... | |
| Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar?? Hello Teck,It looks like your system is in need of some attention at the source. Before you spend a fortune on ICs and PCs, you should try to improve the front end first otherwise I do not think you will ever be able to benefit much with any cable... | |
| Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar?? Wow, this thread is a classic example as to why we all need to try out cables in our own systems. I too had my system fully loaded with K-S Emotion cables with Joe here as we tried one cable at a time with the Manley DAC --> Aesthetix Callisto ... | |
| CAT Amp Power Tube Options... Ubglub - I have not had two sets of 6550s to compare the sonics of one set to the other. When the Svetlanas started to fail, I was able to get matched sets of Winged-Cs. This was after approximately 2 years of playing music 20-25 hours a week. Onc... | |
| A challenge: Reference system from 15yrs ago Goldmund Studio with any of the great cartridges of the time, Counterpoint SA9 & SA11, ARC D250 or VTL 225/300, all premium NOS tubes, Martin Logan CLS or SoundLab A1. Just imagine what such a system might sound like with the top cables of tod... | |

| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" The SP-8 is not tube like? I give up! | |
| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" Mrtennis: Are you after a line stage or a full-function preamp? For older models of the extra-warm persuasion in the $1k range, consider the CJ Premier 10 for the former and the ARC SP-8 for the latter. Both of these models may have lacked many re... | |

| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I read alot of comments about dropping in a cable here or a pc there and right away WOW, it blows such and such away. I would caution anyone, especially someone new to the hobby to be careful about such claims, immediate impact is easy to ascertai... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Tbg - I too am very surprised at such products like the Jade cables bringing on the full-suite of attributes that has been difficult to find in a cable. But JD very clearly identified the sonic strengths of a few cable lines that he lived with ove... |
