Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
  One of the first of many new things I encountered getting into high end audio many years ago was the number of really tiny little companies I'd never heard of before. Can't recall any names now but definitely still do recall how dismissive I was... 
Looking for new amp for Tekton Electron SE
1. Raven  2. Prima Luna 
Which Preamp Would You Choose?
This is a good example of why I always say go integrated. Here we have several mediocre choices all of which wind up being $3k to $5k together, maybe more, and that's without interconnect and before power cords. That kind of money will get you int... 
Critique my (possible) new system. Suggestions welcome!
I’m not sure I can connect everything through the Lyngdorf without the add on HDMI module which I do not have. I guess I’m not really sure to be honest. I figured it would be easier to keep the Yamaha and have all video components run through ... 
Which cantilever to choose for re-tip
Why not call Ledermann and ask him about it? The carts are different enough could be one is more suited to one than the other. If anyone would know it would be him. 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
Like you read my mind Frank, was just about ready to ask about that. The Talon Khorus crossovers are in the bottom piece that comes off real easy exposing the works. Been in there to upgrade once already but its been many years so overdue. How thi...

Frank:When you can consistantly discern the difference between older drum sets using animal skins and modern drum sets using acrylic, you can be assured that Total Contact is somewhere in the system. Exactly. Or like I said the other day, the rain... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
Omega E Mats were reviewed earlier. Very effective. The beauty of the E Mats is you just slap one on the outside of the breaker box, and by the time you walk back and cue up a side the sound is amazing. Roughly the same as applying Total Contact t...

You're close enough to come by for a fix. Just the little bit left on the brush will be enough to do your speaker terminals and maybe an RCA or two. Just about enough to give you some idea. Although if you do come over, within a few minutes you wi... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
That was a big factor in writing such an extensive review. I knew about TC for a long time but put off buying because it just seemed too good to be true. Which really was based on past experience with other stuff. None of which comes anywhere clos... 
Looking for Help with Speaker Jumper Cable Choice
What this shows is even a short length of wire is enough to impart its character on the signal. That's why I recommended soldering to eliminate the jumper. Otherwise even a short jumper can change the sound from what you know you like to.... who k... 
Critique my (possible) new system. Suggestions welcome!
Congratulations on going with an integrated and stereo. This is the sweet spot of dual-use. Amazing how far you can go with this. Well done.If you have heard all this stuff and like the way it sounds that is all that matters. So no point critique ... 
Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up
So sad to learn of your affliction, almarg. But you did ask:Was there something that wasn't clear in my answer?Which I presume is what passes for humor among engineers? Because here is your "answer" quoted directly from above:For an example of how... 
Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up
Pretty sure its gonna take an PhD EE X 3 / Designer or Nelson Pass to give us a real answer here about Solid State gear and warm up . A perfectly natural enough assumption to make. In fact they're the last ones to ask. Not that there aren't any bo... 
Looking for Help with Speaker Jumper Cable Choice
Right. And your choice of flux. Which isn't required but when you use it and see how sweet it is.... If yours is like the photo on-line a couple screws and the terminal mounting plate pulls out. Look around inside. Often times the crossover is zip...
