May 15, 2003	Proper Cable Placement. I use reusable cable ties from RadioSnack and tie them to the rack so they don't touch powercords and possibly away from each other if applicable.
May 15, 2003	No Dustcover for Turntable, What do You do? From time to time type over dust cover on the search box here and you'll get the gentleman from NJ that Jvogt mentions. Luckily if he's surfing forums he might throw you e-mail but he's usually packed with orders. BAT charges $500 for dustcover he...
May 15, 2003	Too much The old saying sais if you can't rise the bridge you lower the river.I used plastic spacesrs above the cartridge(instead of above the cartridge shell) that also decrease VTA. In addition it makes cartridge sort-of independed of arm resonances and ...
May 14, 2003	Of which rituals is YOUR vinyl/music a part? I hold the record and look on the gatefold jacket with nice and large pictures let's say of Frank Zappa and think: "Why we even have a compact disks?"

May 13, 2003	Classical Music as Relics for easy listening The best solution for that is to move to NYC area with pretty good tuner and catch college radio stations such as WFMU(from Jersey City), WFUV, WBGO(Jazz88 from Newark).
May 12, 2003	Classical Music as Relics for easy listening Nah!Classical still continues!Order Schnittke from Russia or from Europe to get either the same price or even less including shipping to your door. Also dig-on Kronos Quartet. Other modern names are: Leo Brower, Hector Villa Lobos(spanish guitar),...
May 12, 2003	Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? It's realy not jazz. It's just music. Care less 'bout styles and names.
May 12, 2003	BAT stuff and Cables Few more to add to the balanced circuit:It is certainly more complexed so the manufacturers made pople believe that SE may sound much better.
May 12, 2003	Full range box floorstanding recommend $3-5K range Dynaudio 3.3 is the champ.
May 12, 2003	BAT stuff and Cables 4yanx,Balanced circuit tends to be less-depended on wire quality length and reactance i.e. gives you less options to "play with wires" and/or "audition" them. It's more versatile in all cases whether you're using long or short runs lowers noise fl...
