| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Hi, I have used both the cardas golden reference and the revelation version one. While the cardas is an excellent cable, the virtual dynamics revelation one is much, much better. | |
| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? You might try your local cemetery monument dealer. They will have a good color selection, be able to carve a variety of shapes and sizes, you might save some money if you pick a standard size and you might save the "audiophile" premium. Good luck. | |
| What's better than Oritek X-2 In our listening, the X-2 was beat handily by the Virtual Dynamics Revelation version 1.0. The X-2 ranked second and beat out a bunch of other well known interconnects. Interestingly, the Speltz scored within 85 to 90% of the X-2. Both the Speltz ... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Fun counter-steering experiment. At my local ducati dealer, the sales rep and I asked about a half dozen riders to show us their hand motion when counter-steering. No two riders did it the same. Everybody says to do it, but when asked to demonstra... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Suzuki SV650. My first motorcycle. When I dial in countersteering and how to set up a cartridge properly, I'll be good to go. Jeff | |
| Art Audio Vinyl one vs Sutherland PhD Never having built a single piece of audio gear, I took a chance and bought the mc/mm kandk kit. I made two simple errors during the process of making it and Kevin was very gracious about helping me. In short, it sounds wonderful and I have not fo... | |
| CJ sound I've got a CJ16LS2 and it does not sound "dark". I find it will very much show the character of any components you mix with it. I think Zear's analyis is right on. | |
| Bass and Guarneri Homage I love the Guarneris. I've only heard two or three speakers that have the transparency of the Guarneris. Of course, they are not about power and if I can get a little more bass energy I'd like it (audio nervosa). I'm driving them with Art Audio Qu... | |
| Analog experiment Arthur, For fun I'll be curious to see what happens when you plug your cd player into another system(s). I believe that if you find another vinyl setup that floats your boat, it will be immediately apparent. A significant upgrade, and I think that... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... Did we leave out anything? | |
| Analog experiment Arthur,For fun, take your Sony to your dealor and repeat the experiment exactly as you did at home on one (or more) systems other than what you have at home. Doing so will help determine whether your results are specific to your test setup or whet... | |
| AcousTech Stylus Force Gauge Thanks Dan,I'll relax now about the measurement thing. If I get kooky and build an outrigger, I'll post the difference. Jeff | |
| ???? T.H.E. Show ????????? Wasn't "kaos" that cold war secret organization fictionalized in that wacky 1960's series "Get Smart"? | |
| AcousTech Stylus Force Gauge I paid $95 with shipping, which seemed fair to me. But, my real question is whether, since we are working with very tight tolerances, measuring the VTF 1/8" above the record plane distorts the measurement in a meaningful way. My intuition tells me... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description As a former piccoloist, who has soloed Stars and Stripes Forever while high-stepping up the 50-yard line, I'll share a couple of brief thoughts on piccolos and flutes.Whether a flute, and piccolo to a lesser degree, sounds round (meaning overtones... |
