Best Solder??
Wonder signature has the least sound to it. Cardas isabout the same but contains copper. To me wbt is bright. Kester works the best and is also cleaner   
Kuzma 4 point 9” or 313VTA
The 4 point 9 is crazy good with a tube setup. I have most of the Kuzma arms and a 4 point 9 is way up there. It doesn't have a sound. It's full and fat when the music is and crisp and dynamic when the music is. The 313 is very good but the 4 poin... 
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Please. I have sold Rega for years. Stabi s and Stogi s12 vta are just in an entirely different league.  
Soundsmith cartridges on Rega tables ??
Honestly I'd blame the amp. I hate a guy bring the d3ceate over and we compared it to a pair of Quicksilver mono blocks and an antique sound lab Tulip. The guy sent back the decware the next day. 10 well seasoned audiophiles came to the same concl... 
AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
I have to say that AQ pricing is incredible however I have never been able to get the realism of sound from any other cable. I was a dealer for them so I could get them pretty cheap but they are just better. Don't really care how they measure. Rom... 
Kuzma Stabi S and 4point? overkill?
To the person that claims that an LP 12 is the equal has no idea. The lp 12 sounds like an expensive rega. The kuzma gear is in a different league.  
Recommended power cords for Quicksilver V-4 mono
Yes. I have been using and dealing with Quicksilver for years. A synergistic master ac coupler is about the best. You canak3 these yourself with no soldering. It consists on two runs of a heavy belden coax with the braids joined and connected to t... 
In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music
I spoke to Bobby many times. I don't think there is anything inappropriate about being concerned about a lot of money. My 21 year old son lost his life on that same day. Not by his own hand but by freak accident. Bobby made a choice to take his ow...

solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT??
i have tried many of the current solders mentioned above. One summer after moving to Forida, bored with nothing but time I decided to listen to solder. My conclusions were. WBT, while very easy to work with, added a sheen or brightness to the musi... 
Which used tubed pre-amp & turntable for convert?
solid state is your problem. Pick up a used audible illusions m3 pre and an ayre v3 amp. this combo makes music( no i don't own the combo ) threshold is on the bright side. regardless of what your told. your ears don't lie. keep the wadia it is a ... 
Rega Planet Vrs. Arcam CD 23
whats the point....get a P3 turntable ands it will render the two CD players along with just about any other obsolete...but if you must i would think that the arcam stuff would have a bit more resolution...let me guess musicdok...you have an arcam... 
Which Preamp?
The presence is by far the best you have named. I have heard and sold all the others. 
Vandersteen 2ce vs. Meadowlark Kestrel
I've heard and have owned both. Remember that the vandersteens are a bit more difficult to drive. That being said there is really no comparison. The vandersteen is far and away the better speaker albeit a little more difficult to set up. 
Dedicated power lines for audio?
remember too to observe phase when placing your new breakers in the panel. Always keep breakers on the same phase. For example mount all your dedicated lines on the same side of the box. Craig I feel sorry for the guy that had to work with your 6g...
