| Nova Power Cord Model (M101 silver) Review For those who may have missed the news, I consulted with Lubos quite a bit in the beginning. It was one of his test cables he sent me to begin with. Turned out he was testing me as much as I was testing his cable. Smart guy. Then prototypes that c... | |

| Do HT enthusiasts pair processors with tube preamps? You are right, sort of: that is a great way to unenhance sound quality. | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? Read the number off the dial, write it down on the record sleeve, done. Next time you can dial it back precisely where it was, fast and simple as reset the dial. Sounds like a lot of work and that puts a lot of guys off. But, how many hours, we... | |

| What are your top three live concerts of all time? What do you mean? African or European swallow? My best concert was either Supertramp, who had the best sound (incredible sound!) or The Eagles, who had the best vibe. Vibe so good I never even cared about the crap sound quality. Holly Cole was b... | |
| New to Turntables Last resort? Yes, by and large. In your case though Yamaha, by and large means try and see. Same for ground. By and large just don't cut it. Good example, just got a new Origin Live Enterprise arm. Terrific arm. Hum in one channel. Hate hum, becau... | |
| Big Brother Watching over Us (again) I've explained many times how Jungson not only refused to honor their warranty but actually used me to help them learn about their defects and then having taken advantage abandoned me. Must have told this story half a dozen times at least by now. ... | |
| Nova Power Cord Model (M101 silver) Review The target audience as I see it whynner is two clearly defined segments. One, people with already very good power cords they paid $5k or even more for. Those people will find they can sell them for enough to buy Nova and get a nice improvement for... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio @gumbedamit,"Frogman: I respectfully disagree with your statement of a bad recordings sounding better on a good system vs, a bad system. Good/Great systems reveal just how poorly a a recording was created or how well. Garbage In. Garbage out. Less... | |
| SET the best? Should probably mention we had a Bel Canto SET power amp here at Chuxpona. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9675 It was being driven by I forget what preamp so hard to judge inner detail but what we heard was terrific and with 37 S... | |
| New to Turntables Try both and see. Bearing in mind the one in the table is brand new and will take some hours to smooth out and sound its best. Even the one in the Yamaha, while it has been powered it hasn't had any signal running through it. Probably the differen... | |
| Advice on dedicated room More than anything else it helps just to keep in mind. No room is perfect, and one can easily spend more on the room than the system. Back when I was searching around going to all the audio stores within a couple hundred miles the best sounding... | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? One thing a lot of these comments have in common is what I consider extremely large or gross adjustments. This is fine if all you want is to be somewhere in the ball park. But for that you don't need a USB microscope, or even a bubble level. Al... |
