| SME turntables Listen to the Kronos Pro with upgraded motors and a black Beauty tonearm.My friend went from a SME 30-V12 arm to the Kronos.He and I agree the Kronos is better.He used the same cartridge and same gear ,only changed the TT and arm.Beautiful three d... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? I had CLS 11,Sequel, Quad 63, stacked 57's and now Acoustat monitor X(includes the tube servo amps).The stacked 57's were very nice.The xtra panel doesn't give more bass, as in going lower to 20hz.It just fills more of the room up with the bass th... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Crossovers have a sound, and can degrade the music no matter how complex or simple, crossovers kill.Also, multi driver systems always seem to sound like multi drivers to my ears.I have listened to a few cone speakers that came close to stats, such... | |
| Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords If one wants to experiment, buy some decent Furtech connectors,even the entry level CU ones will do.Then take some # 12 romex solid core wires ,remove the un-coated ground wire and the plastic sheath.Take an electric drill ,insert the black and wh... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? I just switched from stranded #10 carol wire to #12 solid core for some power cables.There is a difference.The carol stranded had a big robust sound.The solid core had more inner detail,I noticed little things that were buried with the stranded.I ... | |

| Interesting way to wire speakers…??? The simple solution is to strip away the plastic coating only where it makes contact with the binding posts.Or cover the bare wires with some Teflon tape or reapply the plastic sheath to cover the exposed wire.This isn't a bad way to keep the syst... | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. If a system or the owner of that system cannot hear a difference between solid core and stranded wires,then spending big bucks on expensive name brand wires is a waste of money.Cheap bell wire used as speaker wire should sound different(less boomy... | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. Tried it many years ago.It works, and there is a nice effect to the treble using it.You lose in the bass department, stranded works better.It's cheap,and compared to other cheap name brands at the time, I liked the what the solid core did to the s... | |
| comparison of different dedicated AC line types? I run a dedicated 20 amp line into a Hydra two for my digital gear.Another 20 amp dedicated line directly into a Guardian 2 for my analog gear.No problems just use good quality connector.The advantage of separating the digital from the analog is w... | |

| Stillpoints ERS cloth for EMI/RFI I wrapped the transformer in my Furman balanced power conditioner because I noticed that this is what BPT does to the transformer in their units.It made an improvement in my Furman, so I bought more sheets and wrapped every transformer I could thr... | |
