| Phono interconnects Ok bozo, 2 good ones are the graham ic50 and the hovland music groove. The Graham can be had for around 300 used, the hovland 300-450 I've seen. If u like cardas cables, maybe the golden reference is better for u? | |
| High End Fuses? I have a friend who says ceramic fuses sound better than the 50 cent ones. My bat vk75se uses them stock on the ac inlet, but my bat pre amps don't. I'm going to go to a electronic's store and buy some. It's only a couple of bucks each...can't hur... | |
| tube traps didn't help For slap echo, try hanging a quilt, tapestry something absorbent around the room in the offending spots. The slap echo isn't always in the corners...it's more parallel walls that's the issue or ceilings and hard floors.I have some of the ASC wall ... | |
| Wilson Watt/Puppy 6 or 7 versus Sophia I've heard the 6 and the sophia side by side. The 6 is a better all around speaker, better bass, better detail, better tranparency. The 6 retail price (around 20K) vs the Sophia around 11k, the Sophia is a better deal and put your money better ele... | |
| Upgrade from Audio Physic Virgos to ??? About 2 years I went from virgo II's to Wilson Watt/Puppy 6's. Wow. Should be a good match with your current set up. 6's are pretty reasonable used. Bass will extend much lower, better detail, better transients, more focus. Stage and depth some, w... | |

| BAT or Lamm The bat phono and pre are good matches. Plus both have balanced in's and out's which will marginally help some. Retube the p5 phono stage, especially the 6922's. It will make a huge difference. The Lamm is good, but the bat might match better for ... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits I have to agree with Albert's comments. I've heard his system with and w/o the controller. With out it, it's really no fun. Kills the imaging, the life, just makes it average. On Albert's suggestion, I put a basic Electraglide cord on my SME contr... | |
| BAT VK-60 or Another tube amp? The bat is going to sound different than your pass, and maybe that's what you're after. somewhat warmer, richer, very vibrant mids w/ highes and lows a little softer. The 75SE is a much better on the extremes, but doubles the price. Excellent stag... | |
| Cleaning Records Buy a can of Premeir cleaner from amusicdirect.com or elusivedisc.com or somewhere like that. For $20 a can it'll thouroughly clean 50 records. All you need to go with it is a carbon fiber brush. Does a great job, best i've used w/o going with my ... | |
| balanced cables balance usually sounds better on longer runs-if your amp and pre are fully balanced, some don't really do it right. In rca ended cables, the negative is tied to groud, in balance you have a hot, negative and group. Some of the best equipment made ... | |
| Base for Audio Physic Virgos I've tried them both. Maybe, I think they look better, but I can't really say it does a whole lot for the sound. I've heard things like rollerblocks or symposium shelves make a huge difference. Even michael fremmer in stereophile said a few years ... | |

| do, mfsl, dcc or gold cds really sound better? If that cal player is 24/96 DVD the then the classic records DAD's are really good. rivals' SACD. titles are limited... I think classicrecords.com. Also, all the JVC xrcd's are super sounding. The source material is crucial to getting good sound. ... |
