Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud
I see you are new here Rex, next time you buy, perhaps you should do a little internet research first. We've all known how bad MSS HIFI is/was, just as we knew how bad Johnny was as the Audio Pimp before MSS. Getting ripped off by Johnny Boey isn'... 
What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?
db, I agree that transduction process is critical, but I would say that the speaker/room interaction is even higher paramount than amp/speaker....IMHO.Jtimothya, I agree with much of what you say, I would only add that I think we all use cables/co... 
Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage
Swampwalker...lol!! You are right of course, I guess I've been fortunate in that I've never received any original packaging that was in such horrible condition and I take proper precautions when storing my equipment boxes. It does make you wonder ... 
Conversion of mV to dB
Note when using the KAB calculator that the output is based @ 5 cm/s. If your cartridge is rated @ 3.54 cm/s, you will need to multiply it by 1.41 to equate to 5 cm/s.Just to make sure you are comparing apples to apples.As for your phono preamp, i...

Moving coil with a bit less leading edge

Moving coil with a bit less leading edge
06-24-12: Opus88Wrm...I once owned a high output, copper wired Zyx Airy 3. Found it a bit too "hot" sounding and ultimately fatiguing. That's why I recommended the silver coils if you go the ZYX route Jeff. The silver are smoother than the copper,... 
Moving coil with a bit less leading edge
Hey Jeff, you experiences within the Dynavector line can be extrapolated to other cartridge lines as well.....and cable lines, amps, speakers, etc. The cost of diminishing returns hits fast and hard. It sounds as if you are facing a similar dilemm... 
Moving coil with a bit less leading edge
When compared to? What are you currently using that is a bit too transparent/lean for your tastes?

Turntable L/R Balance
New cable fixed the issue because the issue resided in the interconnects themselves, that was my point. Interconnects can go bad too.
