Vandy 2ce vs. 2ci
The e is the newer version. 
Need an advice about phono cable. RCA-RCA
Take a close look at the azimuth. You have a micro ridge type stylus on the Glider and will be quite sensitive to this adjustment. NOTE: ther is a "delay" effect when setting this due to the "goop". You can't set it and then walk away. You need to... 
Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio?
jstromp, what else are you using with your Kindels? My friends, that I sold him still sound fantastic. What would you repalce them with? Something smaller? That's the only reason I sold mine. At the time I bought them I had a great room for them, ... 
Polarity on the Infini cap?
South43, what I found with the InfiniCaps as far as sound id that they seem to preserve transient and harmonic informaiton very well. There are also different series of these that have different sonic signatures. I think it would depend on the apl... 
Polarity on the Infini cap?
Anyone remember the old Sidreal Caps, the Kimber caps look suspiciously similar. Are they one in the same? Anyone know? 
Need an advice about phono cable. RCA-RCA
I would guess that the Music Hall cable is sheilded. Try to describe what sounds bad to you. If you just got this table they can take some getting used to setting up.I might be able to offer some help, I have had the original WTL table since they ... 
Audio Research CD2 randomly skips
Leanord at ARC did tell me that the Phillips transport used in the CD2 adheres very closely to the Red Book standard.Which means anything that doesn't comply with the standard will have some trouble. If the disc has flaws it won't track. What Weis... 
High-tension power lines and audio
This may not answer your question about the effect on performance but may tell you something about these lines and what they are all about. The lines you are refering to sound like what may be a "345" transmission line. "345" refers to the voltage... 
Out of the mouth of babes
A friend of mine did this with his massive Conrad Johnson Premier One amp back in the eighties, before the advent of the seperate power cord and the quality of AC duplexes available now. It did work well "for the time" but it is a HUGE pain in the... 
Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???"
Jla,there are some tube amps I would worry about leaving on while I was away from home. Yours is not one of them. I won't mention any brand names, but some of them are fire hazard(poorly designed)! I would hate to come home to find that my brand X... 
Albertporter only needs 50
The thanks should all go to you Albert! 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Clueless, does the "cup" come with one of those smoking jackets? 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
This thread went about as I had expected. I will say, as for my own participation in this "drive by" of a thread, that I did, TRY, to stay out of it after my initial post for some time. I admit to a case of "thread rage". Having been tailgated by ... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Asa, all "I"(as he can and did speak for himself) think that Zaikesman is trying to say, may be that this is a place where audiophiles come to share ideas. (and yes sometimes we do fight)In general we are a plain spoken bunch. It's not that most o... 
The "coolest" looking system?
O.K.,guys,this is an exhibition, not a competition, and as always NO wagering. I was hoping you guys could come up with something creative. If this were about who already has the coolest looking system, Albert has everyone's ass kicked already. So...
