Signal or Transparent speaker cables???
I'm really experienced with your choices. Without a doubt Paul Speltz's anti-cables will far exceed their performance and at the price they sell for you can afford to upgrade a piece of hardware. I bought them out of curiosity. Made the mistake of... 
Who needs spellcheck?
I did the DIY kit route. German manufacturer. Two way design. At the top is the holdzemfrumflopin silk tweeters. The bottom register is driven by the grinzenlipz rotating drivers. I chose the kepzemkumin crossovers. 
Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What?????
A local fellow here in Boise that formerly lived in New Zealand has moved back. He was considering the purchase of some Plinius gear to replace his aging ML kit before leaving and I asked him the same question but especially regarding that brand. ... 
Who needs spellcheck?
Dean and Marco's exchange reminds me of a time I'd, uhmmm, polished my chin with a girlfriend earlier in the day. Much later while sitting at the bar an annoying object worked its way from the back of my tongue to where I could grab it with my fin... 
Why "Cryo" anything?
Ejliu,I think I'm beginning to understand the purpose of you posting this thread. Maybe I have it wrong and I'd welcome some clarification if so, but I think this is the type of troll meant to start a fight. Let me explain.You state that "Cold tem... 
Clever Substitute for "Poor Man's Audio Deske" ?
I've stayed away from posting on this since I don't even do digital. Since it's going to drop out of sight without anyone saying anything I'll give you my take on what you want to do. I doubt very much if a self-centering device that is hand held ... 
How long does a stylus last?
A cartridge stylus will last much longer than anticipated if you follow Cello's advice. I've never had to replace a cartridge because I've worn it out. The desire to get something different happens first and in my case after seven years or so.Spea...

Ron,The Eastern Electric was on my short list but due to my need of a good phono stage and to keep the overall cost down the TAD won out. I'll post however this works in my system. Every time I think about the anti-cables I get a smile on my face.... 
Why "Cryo" anything?
Eric,Are you assuming that my engine block was first heat treated and then cryo'd? That's not the case. I used exactly what NASCAR and INDY teams use which is cryo treatment of a new block. These benefits are well documented but have nothing to do...

Jadem6,Steal the point of this thread??? Clearly not. You've not only nailed the point but drove it home with force. Thank you so very much. Now, everyone, go out and find the stinkiest, lowliest, most pathetic person out there and give them a hug... 
Why "Cryo" anything?
Aggielaw,There was a noticeable bloom in the mid rpm range and more valve closing detail in the lows. However, at the upper rpm range it was rather shrill for a time. This did smooth out after several races. But then, maybe my ears just became acc... 
Why "Cryo" anything?
Elizabeth,Good point. I've even noticed that if I disconnect something for awhile I need a short break in to get back where it was. BTW, I don't own any cryo'd cables, just outlets. My experience is with broken in cables taken out to audition some... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Hey Jeff,Twice now, I've gotten cancer. Both times I went to doctors early on and was persistent about what I knew were not normal symptoms. Both times the physicians didn't take me seriously which delayed things too much. Early detection is an ac... 
Who needs spellcheck?
I didn't mean to offend. Really. I just find the human brain to be a mysterious and funny organ. I guess I could beg for some examples about equipment names but I won't. I'm still not buying anything that reminds me of toe jelly. Please, no offens... 
Who needs spellcheck?
Papertrail,You actually bumped into another human brain "thingy" accidentally too. Now, this is with humor.....the human ability to not read...skip...not listen...skip. Leads to lots of misunderstandings. Har harI'm really disappointed that nobody...
