| Sonographe Turntable Upgrade Greetings to a fellow member of the small Sonographe Club.My Sonographe SG-3 sounds great with the benefit of Rega RB-300 arm (modestly priced on Audiogon) fitted with aftermarket Kerry Audio Design F-2 Titanium Heavyweight Counterweight($129 in c... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks At the source, try the micro-priced Herbiesaudiolab.com ($14.24) Grungebuster 2.2 CD mat. This has the effect of reducing brightness, or glare, while enabling excellent player performance. This can give the psychoacoustic effect of diminishing the... | |
| Help installing Totem Claws on the Sttaf? Tomorrow morning get on the phone (or, email if you are shy) to the manufacturer unless you get a quick answer from one of the Audiogon guru community, or your seller who might know.Since your username is a new one, you may not realize that virtua... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Another vote for Herbie's Tenderfeet, which are low cost, and can be tried at home with money back guarantee. Seem to work wonderfully on a variety of underlying surfaces, wood, marble, granite.After trying wood blocks, I have ended up using them ... | |
| How to stabilize speakers without spikes. Although my original post got lost in Audiogon never-never land, agree with Wellfed recommending Herbie's "Big Fat Black Dots". Maybe there should be a contest to invent a more elegant name for these superb footers?The impressive audible improveme... | |

If there is a Goertz home trial offer, and you like them a lot, then you can choose them, and own a great value in cables.Otherwise, a Reality home trial will surely impress you, as it did me, directly comparing the two companies. Although it is n... | |
| Analog cables for TT Basically, turntable IC's carrying the phono cartridge stereo output to phono input jacks on your preamp are a pair of analog IC's. This is the same as the pair of analog IC's which run from your CD player's stereo output to CD input jacks on your... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Marc, Your Nak receiver may have amp circuitry borrowed from the Nelson Pass "stasis" design originally for classic Threshold amp.

| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? I have had fine sonics using the very top of the line version of Mapleshade Records Power Strip. $340, and a 30 day money back guarantee seems a good bet for your home trial.Due to the somewhat aggressive nature of the Mapleshade website self-adve... | |
| How revealing are Grado sr-60s'? I have listened through more than one pair of Grado SR-60's, and there should not be any sense of suffering when listening to a good recording through these fine entry level headphones. But, as Bignerd100 stated, you can hear too well the marginal... | |
| Recomendations on CD Palyers with Volume Control When I inserted an SCE Harmonic Recovery System black box between CDP and amp, there was a performance increase. Since there are no controls to adjust, it can be considered as a part of the signal optimizing circuitry which manufacturers have not ... | |
| AC captive cords??? Although it was for a captive power cord on a Cary SLA-70Sig tube amp driving a full range speaker with transmission line bass down to upper 20's (perhaps, not as deep as a true sub-woofer), the plugging of the captive power cord into the very hig... |
