| Longish speaker cable If you really want to do what you describe you should think about separates. Place only your power amp between the speakers and run balanced interconnects between the amp and pre.I realize that this would change your system completely, but given t... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Doug,Agreed.I would just like to add, you suggested that the benefit of an MC over an MM is the difference in moving mass and given the added coils of HOMC this benefit is lost.I argue that the mass of HOMC although higher than the LOMC is still m... | |

| sound at the record store I won't even listen to a record in the shop for fear that the crappy cartridges and TTs will damage the vinyl. At one shop, the tonearm on the their TT did not have an offset angle, straight arm with a straight head shell. I felt like explaining t... | |

| do i still need a pre-amp What LoomisJohnson suggested will work provided that you have cable and that your cable box has analog outputs. If you are receiving your signal over the air and your TV is doing the decoding then the suggestion will not work.Very few if any TVs t... | |
