| E.A.R. 834P I'm a skeptic at heart, but hearing is believing. I borrowed a friend's shakti stone and it took my EAR834p to a new level. I find it hard to believe, but true. Jeff | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 302 cd David,I've tried several power cords with my 301 and, for me, the cardas golden reference always comes out on top. You might talk to Steve at Great Northern Sound. Also, I had Steve mod my 301 and it took it to another level altogether. Next, I ha... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? Newbie curiosity: As the platter spins, is the repulsion of the magnets so precise and evenly distributed that the elevation of the platter remains constant within minimal tolerances? If so, it is impressive engineering. I assume that the minimal ... | |
| long interconnects - earthly price? Thank you for the suggestions. I've ordered a demo pair of Speltz and I'm trying to get a couple other pairs to demo. After testing them, I'll post my interpretations here. My setup is RCA. Can the Mogami 2534 connect to RCA? Jeff | |

| LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe? LAST is not required to divulge trade secrets, but I think they are required to produce something call a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) as are all suppliers of chemicals. Does anybody have a copy of it and would they like to post it? | |
| LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe? These arguments are common when faced with product testimonials rather than a) scientific explanation by the supplier and b) independent laboratory testing. The contents of the LAST preservative may be common so that LAST does not want to give awa... | |

I also tried two hybrid SACD's and found... | |

| Crazy Downstairs Neighbor Yes, in the future I will take the ground floor apartment.As a point of clarification, she doesn't have a gun. Her revenge: she has a vacuum cleaner she likes to run at 4am or she likes to blast Tina Turner on her bookshelf speakers at 5am. No off... | |
| Crazy Downstairs Neighbor Nsgarch,I'd consider paying more than what I did for the Helikon. Perhaps twice as much or so. | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now I'm putting my hard earned $3 into two-buck-chuck. For a little more, try Coppola's Claret at about $14. And for a little more than that, try Duckhorn's cab!!! | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Aoliviero,I have a Wadia 301 with GNS reference mods. I just bought a Immedia turntable here on audiogon with an Immedia tonearm. Here is my feedback for what it is worth.I first installed it with a benz glider cartridge. Detail was less than the ... |
