| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? rauliregas---Your suggestion regarding testing the tonearm alone is a wise one. Have you heard it yourself? | |
| Artists of the Decade Pretty much a wasted decade in music | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? raul: (OT) How are you doing on the large-scale diffuser project you said you were working on about six months ago? | |
| XLR waste of time ? Gentlemen: There's much that I don't know about electronics, and I appreciate the information you provide.But perhaps one benefit of my situation is that I'm able to approach the listening experience with a bit less prejudice than some of you. And... | |
| XLR waste of time ? nrenter---My thought was to do the comparison between the preamp outputs and the amplifiers in the system. Obviously it couldn't be done in a simple and direct way on the front end. As it happens atmasphere's preamp has only XLR outputs. I don't s... | |
| XLR waste of time ? So, your view is that a properly designed balanced cable geometry is inherently better than any single-ended cable geometry, no matter what the design?Sounds like more philosophy to me, unconfirmed and untested by experience.Do you have a dealer i... | |
| XLR waste of time ? Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes XLRs with pure silver pins? Based on their low price, it doesn't look like the Neutrik silvers are made this way. (Unlike the Eichmann silver RCAs, which are pure silver, with a price that reflects this.) | |

| XLR waste of time ? Atmasphere: "No worries there"? Really.What XLRs do you think are so good? | |
| XLR waste of time ? You may also want to consider whether you can find XLR connectors that are as good as the best RCAs. | |
| japanese imports I used Amazon Japan recently and found it to be excellent, as long as you are buying the CDs new directly from Amazon, not from re-sellers. I believe the prices are better than on CD Japan.The site is accessible at the bottom of the Amazon US scre... | |

| Source for Vedernikov CDs/LPs It turns out that the Amazon Japanese website has a feature that translates most of it into English. Ordering directly from Amazon is pretty simple, the prices are relatively good, and the shipping is not outrageous. | |
| Source for Vedernikov CDs/LPs Michael--Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the CDs available on Amazon US are the wrong Vedernikov: Alexander, not the Anatoly I'm looking for.The CDs are available on Amazon UK or Germany, but prices are quite high (about double US ret... |
