| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? I am sure that a low output MC has specific advantages over HOMC. Nonetheless I really like my Dynevector HO cart, it has too many positive attributes andeffects to mention here. It has put the MM carts I used previously to shame. To be blunt i... | |

| Question about filters on speaker cables There is no way I know of to filter low frequencies without a cross over to separate the lows. If you can separate the low frequency signals, there are many sub woofers which are powered. This would help the main amp. The problem may be finding ... | |
| Turntable belt/pulley help- kind of urgent Tonykay There really is a built in MM phono stage that can be turned on/off. I turned it off, because I was using my own phono stage in an old Fisher 400 receiver. The access is through a hole in the aluminum alloy platter. I suppose you ca... | |
| Tube Phono Stage No I don't own any. It is a cryo protocol with time spent at minus 80. I understand from the Encyclopedia Britannica that this alters the atomic relation ship between metal molecules by creating extra long copper crystals. Copper is being used f... | |

I use Jena cable copper braid, near entry level ( larger are too rich for my blood) for Speaker cables. I like this cable a lot.The TT is a classic Scout about $1900. My Cartridge ... | |
| New Bamboo Speakers Feedback I just realized that you hadn't said who are you sourcing the drivers from ? It appears that your only concern is the cabinet. Yes that is what makes them special from the visual perspective and possibly important resonance control, but the driv... | |
| New Bamboo Speakers Feedback These appear to be acoustic suspension. You may want to do more with the back pressure. i.e. a tuned port. Am I missing something? You may want to look at Nohr speakers for additional design features. Are these internally braced or damped i... | |
| Tube Phono Stage Anything in audio suggesting 'Tube Nirvana' better sound extraordinary. I haven't heard about any Janis product. If you get one and can tear yourself away from it's rapturous sound , please let us know, | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear Get some good Cardas Copper cable Gold reference its older stuff but it will warm your system. The tubes are good but can be different not 'better' different. Try to get some Mullard E88CC the oldest versions you can get. DO NOT get CV2493 I lo... | |
| Oracle Delphi MK 1 advice please If you are just going to sell it, perhaps an auction will get you what it is worth. You will normally have the option to put a minimum reserve price . If you advertise the auction and post all the attachments you like to give people the correct... | |

You may want to investigate a couple of these forums and search for that specific piece of equipment.I agree, that fixing and refurbi... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. The words "Giant Killer" are typically used to describe a product that costs very little, but is comparable with much more expensive products. | |

| Are those B65 versions of the 6NS7 tube worth it? 3.5 years later the answer no not any exotic 6SN7 I have tried so far, no B65s but a number of made in Great Britain tubes types. My headphone amp's sound seems to be a product of the power tubes, I have a pure 6SN7 pre amp which really convey... |
