| Looking for some cheaper Speaker Cables-$600 or so I am really impressed with a 14 foot run of single Clear Day silver solid core.The music that was trapped in my Tannoy Arden, Cary Cad 300sei system is now free at last.The bass is also phenomenal!And I still have 99 hours and 45 minutes left befo... | |
| Can a fuse affect sound quality in my Classe Amps I had a pair of Classe DR 8, ran them balanced mono, and replaced the stock fuses with IsoCleans.This is a cheap way to protect your amp and improve the sound at the same time.Ask yourself, what protection is a cheap fuse?How much are you willing ... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole Reference / PC - Isolation? I second the Shunyata Anna Helix(non magic crystals).I use the stock feet but put the tips into the screw hole section of the Black Diamond square mini blocks.The blocks are blue tacked onto a steel plate and that on top of a butcher block on a ge... | |
| How do you run a separate preamp through an integr I have an old 1961 Bell tubed integrated with close spacing between inputs.I solved the problem of not being able to use good interconnects by running a pre-amp outputs directly into any of the integrated's inputs.There was no increase in noise,an... | |
| Someone hit Martin Logan CLX with the ugly stick? Until I saw and heard a pair I would have agreed that the photos of the CLX are not flatering.Up close they look much better, more of a whole than in the the shots I've seen of them.The curved panel doesn't seem so pronounced for some reason.Then ... | |
| Cartridge aging and tip wear symtoms? The 20 year old Fidelity Research Mk1 3f shows no signs of distress when I play track 5,Cartridge tracking tests on the Audio System Test Record(Nat'l Research Council of Canada).No loss of high end content either.I think it is wrong to believe th... | |
| Cartridge aging and tip wear symtoms? 20 plus years on the same mc FR cartridge and no sign of cantilever distress."with most cartridges 2-3 years is about all you can hope for before the cantilever has to be refurbished"is enough to scare a lot of people away from vinyl.I'll wager I ... | |
| Cartridge aging and tip wear symtoms? There's no distortion in the inner grooves when playing the old FR cartridge.An improperly set up cartridge that is brand new will have distortion in the inner grooves also.Closer inspection using powerful magnifying glass or jewelers specs would ... | |
| Cartridge aging and tip wear symtoms? I am quite happy with an original Fidelity Research Mk13F, into a Sutherland PHD on a Rega P9.I bought the cartridge brand new back in the 1980s and I firmly believe it sounds better now than when new, but of course all the ancilliaries are better... | |

| VPI TT Belts I use two VPI belts, the original white and the newer black.Two seem better than one.Anyonelse tried extra belts on the Scout etc? | |
| best power cord for Capitole 24/192 Thanks,I am using an Annaconda Helix, and so far so good.I tried various VX versions but to my ears the non VX has the better sound with this player.Just curious about other succesful combos.Thanks to all who have responded. | |
| power cord for electrostatic speaker I made up a DIY pair of power cords using Romex solid core wire, and the stock Quad IEC and male receptacle when I had a pair of Quad 63 back in 1988.The stock cords in my mind were much too thin.I thought they were an improvement, and so did the ... | |
| Cary SLI-80 vs Cary 300SEI I have used the Cary on a pair of Heron i and no problem with bass or treble.I now use a pair of Tannoy Ardens and the results are very good.More than enough bottom and pristine, non fatiguing highs.Buy the Cary and find some old Tannoy concentric... |
