Michael Fremer's system
What I like about Mikey, he seems to be a real good listener who tells it like he hears it. He's straight up honest about letting you know he prefers a fast technical analytical style sound. So no wonder he has what he has. Because he is honest an... 
What did you make for Christmas?
Thanks, and yes, it is a stunner. There's an acrylic polish made for aquariums makes it even more crystal clear than new and when spinning is a sight to behold. Every once in a while I polish it up and the lead shot is surprisingly sparkly its a j... 
Black Cat power cables
Grail? Far from it. Mine are Synergistic Master Coupler, Designer's Ref .5, and Shunyata Cobra. All are early 90's and easily the furthest behind of anything in my system. I do have one DIY someone sent me to evaluate and it is in the same league,...

How old is your cartridge?
Any serious driving enthusiast knows the single biggest factor in new car ride and handling is the suspension and motor mounts are all brand new elastomer. Some of them have gotten pretty sophisticated over the years but with older cars its a rela... 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
My first few years were devoted to CD. Took a good solid 3 years working on every aspect and at last my dream system was done. Until that damn Robert Harley went and said the turntable is the heart of a high end audio system. WTF? Well my 1976 Tec... 
Help me put together multiple systems with what i have
The Willsenton goes with the turntable, and then whichever of the speakers you like best. This goes where your main system, the one you sit down and listen to goes. Then you sell all the other stuff, buy Tekton Moabs and as much quality wire and p...
