| Silver Head Shell Leads Save your money, dab some NPS1260 on there, bigger improvement, way less hassle. | |
| Power cable education needed No one using freebie rubber power cords and patch cords (interconnects) should be upgrading any component without first upgrading all that absolute crap wire. Putting everything on Nobsound (or better) springs. Getting all their wire up off the fl... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Amen to that. | |
| Hard to believe all the crap that flows thru an ethernet cable You think that's bad, you should see all the crap that flows through my internet connection. | |
| Dust I don’t like to use dust covers. They trap volatile polymers outgassing from dielectrics leading to corrosion in delicate electronics. So I get up every 15 minutes and painstakingly remove the dust one speck at a time. LED headlamp and blue-tack o... | |
| Record Jackets and sleeves Buy Better-records.com records, they come with the cover, original sleeve, and premium rice paper sleeve all in a nice thick plastic cover. Comes shipped this way. Maintains the cover like new and the LP in sleeve slides in and out so smooth. Eith... | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? socalml528-Ok, just purchased my first better-records.com "hot-stamper" records.Time to put my ears, brain and equipment to the test.

| Soundstage Interesting post Duke. Because some of the most enthusiastic comments on my system have to do with superb image focus and a stage that extends beyond the speakers. My feeling for some time now has been more you are there than they are here. My roo... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Bingo! Not only music either. Many years ago, I want to say 1980’s or maybe 90’s, Japan decided to enter the high end wine market. The full resources of Japanese technology were brought to bear. Gas chromatograph, spectroscopy, every conceivable f... | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? Ok just looked up better-records.com. Thanks to maestro MC.Could not agree with them more; too many variables with vinyl and the only way to tell if a recording is superior is to play it. But, ouch those prices; although it does make sense if yo... | |
