Grading of phono cartridges Part 3
I have the same Ruby/Koetsu problem so yeah, good call.To be fair though it might not be bias, or even differing preferences, but merely the passage of time. I mean I have a pretty good idea how I would rank the various components I have had over ...

Because my Conqueror arm is superb. The arm itself ought to last essentially forever. But really it comes down to the only American made arm I know of that might be better is the one designed by Schroeder that Lederman is going to make for Soundsm...

The LEAST expensive way to get it running is to strip an inch or so off the ends of some ordinary lamp cord wire. Twist one wire and stick it in the RCA of the pre-amp output. Wrap the other around the outside of the RCA. Do the same for the other...

Watts and power
Can somebody break it down in layman's terms for me? And so one after another all he gets is a bunch of technical info. When the answer in layman's terms is actually in this case absolutely identical to the answer in technical terms: THERE IS N... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
Direct me to the right direction. Since you're new-The most important amp spec to keep in mind when shopping for an amp isn't an amp spec at all, its the sensitivity and impedance of the speakers. You're buying the amp to drive the speakers, af... 
Which TT Cambridge Alva, Technics SL:1500 or VPI Player
Just looking at them Technics, hands down. Cambridge no way. VPI maybe, but has awful IEC connector right on the back. Whole thing with turntables, eliminating vibration. To go and invite plugging a great big stiff power cord directly onto the pli...
