Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs...
For those that have heard or owned the Grover Huffman cables, how would you say their soundstaging presents itself? Do they have a more immediate presentation like Virtual Dynamics and Analysis Plus cables? Or are they more laid back like Purist A... 
Lyra Kleos and VPI Aries 3 - will this work
Lyra's and Dynavector are very popular matches with the VPI tables/arms. 
What power conditioner will help in my situation?
Larry's advice is very good, see if you can put it on another circuit, that would be your cheapest fix. If not, a dedicated line would be your second cheapest option. If you cannot do that, you could try buying a power conditioner that uses isolat... 
From separates to reciever?
I've gone from separates to an integrated amp, but never back to a receiver. 
Power Cables diminishing returns
I worked for a major pharmaceutical company for over 30 years. On average, it took about 10 years just to bring a product from conception to public consumption. Obviously, many never make the trip. 
Does it bother you?
Then what do you think it is? Do you think it was because they used more audiophile-grade equipment in the '50s? Silvered wires, cables on stilts, dampening stones, and things like that?Purer, simpler signal paths. They didn't over-engineer the re... 
Does it bother you?
08-07-13: TrentpancakesRobsker, the reason why those recordings sound better is because the musicians playing the music were better. LOL! It's always the other guys fault. Mechanics blame the Engineers, and vice versa. Thanks for the comic relief ... 
Does it bother you?
Does it bother me that the folks who record music do not care about sound quality? Yeah, I suppose it does a little bit, but I realize that this behavior is not abnormal. I suspect that the folks who manufactured my automobile don't give a rat's a... 
Power Cables diminishing returns
Here we go again, alert the media, the cable police have just shown up again to piss on everyone's parade. LOL!! 
Need help with a Tube PREAMP.
07-31-13: MattmillerI want detail and attak! If you want a tube preamp with detail and attack for around $2500, I would keep an eye out for an Audio Research LS-5 mk II, or a LS-25. Happy hunting. 
Power Cables diminishing returns
$1000 is not twice as good as $500 no matter what vice you are talking about, power cords, cables, cartridges, amps, preamps, speakers, watches, wine, scotch, golf clubs, etc., etc.The only time $1000 is twice as good as $500 is in cash form. ;) 
Brian Wilson/Jeff Beck
That's how marketing is done these days. You appeal to two diverse audiences, it sells the most seats. The promoter doesn't care if you are coming to see one or the other, they don't care about maximizing your happiness, all they care about is max... 
Waaaah. Snapped off my cantilever.
I got right back on the horse Vicdamone. It was a lesson I will never forget though. I was in the set up process, and looking back I realize that I was rushing it a little bit. I couldn't wait to listen to this big, expensive cartridge. LOL!! As I... 
Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important?
I've noticed the same thing with amps....as the weight goes up the price goes up. LOL!! 
Waaaah. Snapped off my cantilever.
Well if it makes you feel better, I've snapped the cantilever off a cartridge that was much more expensive AND much newer than yours. ;)It happened about 8 years ago, but I can still feel that sickness in the pit of my stomach when I think about i...
