Carbon and silver conductors
Pull up the Van den Hul webpage for explanations regarding carbon, copper and silver as conductors. 
Lp listing...Click
Hey, if it's an Audiogon problem, no big deal. However, this isn't the only one I've seen like that and not all of them are recent. 
Spendor vs. Von Schweikert?
Certainly different speakers have their own sound. I'm a Tannoy user and owned Missions before these. There is a "British" sound although it varies a bit between Spendor, Tannoy, Kef, Harbeth etc. This sound is nothing like the house sound of VS. ... 
Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend
If it was designed well to begin with (as my HK 730 was), upgrading the caps, transistors and wiring with high quality parts is something many reputable techs do. An LP12 feeds the Hk. There's nothing I've heard recently (that didn't cost a bazill... 
VooDoo Cables ?
Damn Tvad, I like Tony the Tiger. If it wasn't for him, I'd never have found out how GREAT Frosted Flakes are. ;-0} Maybe Tin Cup will someday expand his descriptive analysis. Maybe his comparative baseline is limited. He's harmless. 
VooDoo Cables ?

VooDoo Cables ?

optical or coaxial ? your thoughts on Monster

The Debate's Not Over
Setup a tripod Marco. Some of us can't make it to CES and photos would be the next best thing. Just think of the $$$$. 
The Debate's Not Over
We wouldn't have an Elvis vs Elvis debate if Buddy Holly had lived. Elvis simply filled a niche Buddy left. The Jordanaires were the musical talent anyway. EC. was on the front edge of new musical genre. I'm 52 and I know some of my peers would fi... 
What new music did you get for Christmas?
Got a nice vinyl budget from Santa. Spent it at Lpsnow and Backtrack Records. Now I'm waiting for delivery. 
"...Pet Free..."
Marco? Slappy? Is that you? Yippee... We have humor again...the seriousness has almost killed me since you've been gone. Welcome back. 
What are in these Bose speakers anyways
Really, really small musicians. How else could they sound so great? ;-0}

Lush can probably help you...after he recovers. :-}
