Is there a cost effective 'quality' USB and Network cable?
After reading suggestions here and in Ozzy's recent USB cable topic I got Oyaide neo D+ Class A USB cables today. A clearly better sounding cable than a standard computer USB cable. A good value. I've read good things on Ozzy's topic about Acousti... 
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords.
Update;Early this year I upgraded my SR Black power cable for the newer Synergistic Research Atmosphere 3 power cable on my VAC amp. Huge smile.   
Stillpoints - snake oil?
I have four Ultra 6 with bases under my integrated amp and four Ultra SS under my CDP. Fliz said it perfectly, organic and musical are the best description I can give. Expensive, yes. Huge positive change. 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
As a hobbyist when I sell here (not often) I will clearly state; "No PayPal Fee's""Free Shipping""No Offers Please Fixed Price"I'll factor the lowest price I'm willing sell something for including those costs.  If the item is heavy I will charge s...

Thank you Folkfreak, great insight and description. I'll have more to add Tuesday night.  
Synergistic Research HFT's
I have around 70 hours on the blue duplex outlet now.Sound is somewhat muddled a bit of reverb and a bit of dullness. It's difficult to find the best words to describe, lacks focus?The depth of soundstage is clearly deeper as is the hight and widt... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
I installed one BLUE and one BLACK duplex outlet. The outlets are in a twin receptacle box connected to a dedicated circuit about 25 feet from breaker box. I have a second twin box next to it with one standard outlet and one older Oyade RS1. Sound...

"I see that SR has come out with a new "BLUE" wall outlet. I wonder how it compares to the Black outlet?"Frank, I will post my thoughts on the BLUE duplex outlet next week. I ordered recently from Highend_cc here on audiogon. Alfred is the go to S... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
"Anyone compared the new HFT wide angles?Enter your text ..."Yes, I ordered a set soon after Alfred got stock. They clearly improved the focus of my soundstage depth width and height. The other obvious change was a natural feel to the room as the ... 
SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!!
If it seems to good to be true.....Simple fact, reproductions/counterfeit is indeed theft. 
Jelco arms revamped
I'm very curious how well the 12 inch adjustable counterweight TK950L plays. The very good Schick sells for the same amount but a long waiting list.For sale online here in the US, 12inch TK950L $1556.39, the least expensive 9 inch TK85S without ad... 
Lyra Delos - Dirt Build up on the cantilever
Love my Delos and am not in the least surprised how well you were accommodated by Lyra. Class act!!! Lovely sounding carts. 
Ortofon SPU with 12 inch Jelco arm?
Chakster, I think you may be correct. Some of us like detailed, analytical but musical presentation. Others like warm romantic midrange strong "old school" sound. I enjoy detail but musical myself but having a second choice in a romantic warm colo... 
Ortofon SPU with 12 inch Jelco arm?
Actually I did read that helpful information last night Chakster. I use a Delos on a Thomas Schick and Garrard 301 and love the sound. I also read what you detailed about your Royal G MKll at that other location. Good information.For the time bein... 
Ortofon SPU with 12 inch Jelco arm?
Thanks for your response Chakster. Perhaps I’ve been misinformed to do with tip shape. That’s why I asked here.My choice for an SPU is simply something I wish to try. I’ve also read some of the Ortofon SPU’s are a good match for someone with beat ...
