| What cartridge on your VPI prime? @ekimg, thanks for the tip, but my bag had different hardware. I had two sets of screws, both of which were too short, and no sets that were too long. I did wind up ordering the proper hardware, so I have the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze mounted now.I a... | |
| Power conditioning from the ground up @asp307 , if you are looking for an inexpensive outlet for your video needs, AudiogoN member albertporter sells his Porter Ports on this site. Basic Hubbell outlets that are cryo-treated. Priced at $41 each, hard to beat for the price. | |

| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system No doubt there are better phono stages than the one in your 990, but I don't know how much more you would get out of it by running a better phono stage through your 990 amp.It would be sort of like putting a $5000 cartridge on your Scout turntable... | |
| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system If you are still planning to use the Harman Karman HK990, I wouldn't bother to go with a separate phono stage. Your 990 has a built in phono stage, correct? Just enjoy it until you are ready for a full electronics upgrade.If you desire an upgrade,... | |

| Power conditioning from the ground up As for outlets, there are many good ones to choose from. I've only used outlets from PS Audio, Oyaide, and currently I am using Furutech GTX-D's just as Larry (lak). I have heard good things about the Avatar Afterburner, but I haven't heard one.It... | |
| Power conditioning from the ground up I asked about a 10 gauge wire and he said it’s overkill. All electricians say this, at least in my experiences. Overkill is what this hobby is all about though. ;^)You almost have to buy the supplies for them, in fact I did. The electrician will j... | |
| Northern Electric Brand audio tubes Yes, I think that Grant Fidelity is the exclusive NA importer for Psvane.You can find them on Ebay through other channels, but I don't think the risk is worth the couple pennies saved. | |
| Northern Electric Brand audio tubes I’ve heard of the Northern Electric Brand of tubes, but I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to any yet. I will have to keep an eye/ear out for them.The new brand that I have heard quite a bit of that continues to impress me is Psvane (also Chi... | |
| Wilson Sasha 1 I've noticed on Audiogon that there are a lot of Sasha 1s being sold at some pretty discounted prices. Is there a reason for that?Yes, the Wilson Sasha 2 series has been released. It is quite common for any audio component to be discounted mor... | |
| Power conditioning from the ground up It's best to go as far back to the source as you can. If you own a home, have an electrician run one or two dedicated lines for your audio system. Run 10 gauge Romex from the breaker box to the outlets and use good quality outlets (Furutech GTX-D)... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions In my humble opinion, SS works best in the phono stage, where the signal is smallest. If you can, try to find a Klyne phono stage, they are really incredible bargains. There is a 7PX3 for sale on Audiogon right now. I have no relation with the sel... | |
