| Which software are you buying?SACD or LP Hi Albert. Thanks for your detailed thoughts. Right now, my front ends are $14k (SF T3/P3), $5k SCD-1 SACD Player, and $8K for Analog so performance in each category is pretty darn good and, as with your system, my LP sounds better than SACD and C... | |

| loss of bass after filling stands In addition to filling the stands with sand, I would suggest that you get rid of the marble and put the spikes right throught the carpet and pad to your concrete floor. The marble slab is "floating" on the carpet. Having the spikes go to the concr... | |
| BAT VK-5i or VK30 ?? Good point on the phono card. However, I demo'd the VK30 with card vs. my 5i and P5 and the 5i/P5 just blew the doors off the internal VK30 card for phono. Add to that the 5i's greater sense of space and smoothness and I believer the 5i/P5 is a cl... | |

| Power cords - a BASIC question Because it is not the last meter, but the first AND last meter. This is AC power so juice is flowing both ways by definition. Also, it is the meter that is closest to the rest of our EMI sensitive audio equipment and antenna-like IC cables. | |
| BAT VK30SE, VK50se or SF Line 3se I currently have both a BAT 50SE and 5i and I love both of them. The 5i works really well with SS amps while the 50SE works well with both tubes and SS, provided you take Delancey's advice and couple it with a good system. I find the 5i has a slig... | |
| One Month Music Discoveries It may sound a little cheesy, but this past month I was reacquainted with my big 80s youth and rediscovered The Police. Of course, their music has been present for the past 15 years, but mostly as background music. I recently set up my first analo... | |
| cornfedboy ? Gee Cornfed, just like the paid reviewers in the rags, getting offers of free equipment for positive reviews. I hope that was tongue-in-cheek Chris. Same for you Doug. | |
| Buy a CD now or wait new technology This very topic has been broached in a thread entitled "Coping in an age of uncertainty". Do an archive search to find it. | |
| If you knew then, what you know now... Try to recreate the experience, not the sound. I remember the first time hearing a super high-end audio set-up and being totally floored at what it sounded like. That was about just 5 years ago. I've gone through several decent systems since then,... | |
| xlr question IF your system maintains phase and IF your preamp doesn't have a phase switch, you can easily reverse the phase by reversing the phase on BOTH pairs of speaker cables. However, as pointed out, this is likely to be unecessary due to the poor produc... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Evansdad: yeah, I know what you mean. Lately, I've been considering selling my entire system to scoop up some of the great deals to be had in the market. But, then I would have to buy it all again in a few months. | |
| How much does your system retail for? $72,848 exactly (Today). I keep a spread sheet of all of my audio purchases and sales. |
