| Conical cartridge question Denon dl103r on my linn axis seems like a tracking champ. It's dead quiet and always seems to get the job done well. Best I have ever had. Have not tried many others in recent years though. There is just no reason to. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes thanks Schubert. Not sure why that posted twice. Agon glitch. I suppose. Btw did you ever get to try the ohms in your setup? They would seem a reasonable option to try. I saw a pair of used micro washes here the other day for 900 a pair. Lots ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Trav it is a different design using an alloy designed to support the magnetic conduction principle of these wires. It might lower signal levels in some cases as related as part of that. But I don't think it would be fair to label them defective by... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower She is ok. Lovely gal. Nice recordings usually. Have not heard the latest yet | |
| What tracks really make your system shine? A few years back an agoner sent me a copy of Metallica death magnetic as a test. This is a highly compressed and processed recording meant to be played loud. It sounds clean crisp and powerful with no ear bleed on my setup off the big ohms. The oh... | |

| Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone Yes you need speakers that can "pressurize" the room in the bass and the corresponding amp to dive them to their max effortlessly. The specific setup needed and associated cost will depend largely on room size assuming nothing too out of the ordin... | |
| What tracks really make your system shine? The ones that require power and majesty that you need to feel as well as hear to appreciate.ALso tracks that would result in ear bleed in most cases otherwise.It does quite well with the rest as well. | |
| Ohm speakers are performing LIVE: on Feb. 27 2015 It sounds way cool. Wish I could go. I notice the larger speakers appear to be matched to the lower octave string instruments which would seem to make sense.I know John Strohbeen is a big classical music fan and supporter of the arts and plays loc... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Trav, populist viewpoints don't hold much water when it comes to "high end". Good luck! These are hallowed grounds.... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Anyone ever hear of Colin Scot?.Or how about Pinafore Days by Stackridge which I believe was a George Martin produced record and probably the groups best known release, at least in the US. | |
