referencing vs plug & play
michaelgreenaudio has never explained what referencing he is talking about. A reference is a standard. We got the story about people driving around the country with tapes. Nothing about what exactly referencing is in regards to systems. The rest o... 
referencing vs plug & play
Starts a nonsense topic. Answers legit questions with still more nonsense. Then has the gall to call the people whose questions he dodges trolls.Shut it down. Please. Shut it down now. 
Cartridge Impedance
The cartridge impedance is what it is, there’s no such thing as adjusting the impedance of the cartridge. What’s adjusted is the impedance or load the cartridge sees. Top end changes are easily noticeable, but there’s more to it than that. Reading... 
Use of seperate preamp with an integrated amp
Of course. Line Out is Line Out. Perfectly fine. 
Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp?
samiamnot Power cables are something I'd only upgrade if I didn't know what else to upgrade and had excess money lying around. Okay, let me get this straight. So there's no misunderstanding. You are using the cheap stock factory power cords that ...

All the best Mick!
Hopefully he makes it. Or all the attention will drive people to buy, and I haven't got any Stones Hot Stampers yet. 
For those who've moved from "vintage" to newer units
Like Alex when he decided today was not the day, good call. 
Clean component connections
What he said^Only two things- one, its sometimes hard to get really clean with just alcohol. Acetone is quite a bit better in that case. And two, there's a ton of cleaners and conditioners, and which as Mike Meyers would say everyone likes his own... 
Galibier cables crushed my Nordost Frey 2 cables
For me its going on 30 years knowing the wire is as crucial a component as anything else, so its kind of sad that after all this time there's anyone left who hasn't caught on. But oh well.Which Synergistic Research cables have you tried? 
Ugrade-itis - is there a cure?
bdp24 I'll bet a lot of Audiogoners have systems that are ALREADY better than they need to be in terms of reproducing the mostly mediocre or worse recordings available commercially. The real work is finding good sounding LP's, CD's, etc., ones wi...
