| Whats on your turntable tonight? The new 2022 version Apollo 11 V-3 is what I got. They are run for a few hours at the factory. I have the next 80 hours to get them going well and about 300 + hours to fully settle in the electronics. It's a process. I'm just about to fire up ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have experience with the box set. It's a bit bright, at least it was on my system with my last turntable. I have not yet played it on my Feickert/Kuzma/Soundsmith setup. I will have to do that and get back to you. The vinyl quality is excell... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable I use William Tell Zero and it is fabulous. That said, if you choose the single wire and jumper path, using William Tell Zero, Audioquest also sells high-quality jumpers that you can buy either as silver or copper wire. The terminations are your... | |
| Talking about service! I'll add another good story of quality service from one of our industry vendors. BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) is the vendor/brand I wish to mention. I have BAT products in my system. My amplifier was eliciting an odd sound, but only on occas... | |
