| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear Schipo, it's obvious that you despise this hobby, so why do you hang around here? I despise women's $5000 Coach handbags...guess what? I don't hang around on Coach handbag forums.You come off as someone who is bitter and jealous that some have mor... | |
| Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level? C'mon Steve, trust Mapleshade and try sitting on the floor!! | |
| My Dynavector 10 X 5 Stylus fell off now what? As Stereo5 said above, you can either have it re-built by Soundsmith or buy another cartridge. Your money, your choice. | |
| What is your take on Mapleshade products 01-27-13: SkoczylasI am looking for strong and clear bass and lower mids, not too much focus on highs since my room and setup emphasize the treble.I would not recommend the Double Helix for you based on this comment. The DH will NOT roll off the h... | |
| What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl Well if you use the same cables all the time then you are tuning your sound around your cables. Which is fine, if that's your game plan. Like I said, I'm lazy, it's easier for me to buy, sell and change cables than to buy, sell and change tables/a... | |
| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear Onemug is correct. Expensive gear just comes with a regular stock cord. A company's $30,000 amp will come with the same cord as their $3,000 amp. Their thought process is just as Onemug described. I've talked to a couple of designers, and it's not... | |
| Help me find my Weak Link. I agree, the Spectral would be a good place to start. Looking at that line up I'm thinking you would be looking for something that would make your system sound more warm and musical perhaps? Maybe a nice tube preamp? | |
| What is your take on Mapleshade products Yeah, that sounds like a sales pitch. However, I have used some Mapleshade products and they have worked pretty well for their price range. I especially like their line of Clearview cables, they play well above their price range. | |
| Stereophile $6.00 per year 1/25 only +1 to what Rrog said. | |
| Advice on wire transfer and shipping to APO I was looking at a Doshii Alaap II, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. A bit too far out of my price range, even used. I've heard great things about them though. | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords It sounds like your experiences are similar to mine Gary, except that I've had the same problems when going all Purist too. That too much of a good thing is not good. At this point, I have a mix of Nordost and Purist in my system. Whenever I've tr... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video We all read what you've posted above Stringreen, thank you for the entertainment. | |
| What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl 01-26-13: ManituncI guess for me, then, the best would be the one that doesnt do anything, and gets out of the way. That way when I try different cartridges, arms and tables, I dont have to adjust the cabling to "fix" the sound. this must drive pe... | |
| What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl "Better" cables are in the ear of the beholder, it cannot be quantified. Just like "better" beer cannot be quantified. "Better" is a subjective term that is widely over-used. Just as those that post threads on these forums asking for the "Best" X.... | |
| $10 vs $100 power plug The difference between a $10 plug and a $100 plug is $90. |
