| Fatigue reducing interconnect? I was a Kimber dealer for many years and was always very careful on recommending the 8TC. The 8TC speaker cable is pretty "zippy" in the high frequencies. I found it worked great on more laid back, softer type tweeters. It can be quite bright soun... | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos Here is the one I use for bass:The Sheffield Drum & Track Disc | |
| ARC LS22 and pre tubes There is a recent ad here on Audiogon for some Philips JAN 6922 for $7 bucks each. These are pretty decent tubes, especially for that kind of money.These are NOT my tubes and I have no affiliation with the seller, just passing on a good deal. | |

| smokin' recommendation: Evan Parker's "TIME LAPSE" Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or go against your vast opinion based knowledge of music. But by posting "one of the most shockingly brilliant albums of solo sax I have ever heard", you are opening up quite a juggernaut. "If you don't like it, f... | |

| Sota sapphire platter won't spin You can't remove the platter on a SOTA turntable, unless you completely dismantle the table and take it apart. SOTA does that on purpose, it's not user serviceable. The belt is easy to check once you remove the motor cover. | |
| VPI turntables come with phono cables? No, the Scout does not come with cables. | |
| Sota sapphire platter won't spin Does the platter spin manually, i.e. if you turn it by hand? If not, the SOTA's have a platter lock underneath the table, right in the center of the table below the platter center spindle. You need to loosen the two nuts on the bottom and then uns... | |

| Are ML CLS speakers a match with SS BAT amps? Sorry, I might to include this link to the Martin Logan's Users Group. You can read forever here and see that there are a wide variety of amps used. The Pass Labs amps are pretty popular.http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/ | |
| Are ML CLS speakers a match with SS BAT amps? I had a BAT VK220 for awhile on my CLSIIA's, but it just didn't have enough power and/or control. It did sound very good, but not big enough. I'm sure the VK600SE would be more than ample.I haven't heard, (on my CLS system), but in others CLS syst... | |
