Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Thanks for the review Teajay. I am a fan of Acoustic Zen cables. I had the Silver Reference II in my system as my reference for most of a year. I am also a big Audioquest fan and replaced my AZ Silver Ref II with the Audioquest Sky. If I get the c... 
How do I set anti skate on Nottingham Anna arm????
Thanks for all the great replies and suggestions. This anti skate makes much more sense now. Ozzy, I took it off the MDF plinth & put it on my rack & it does sound pretty good. I can't tell if I am telling myself it sounds better, but it s...

JbelloI have tried putting it in every position with the same result, it skates to the middle. I am really baffled. Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for all the offers of help. The seller took great care of me & repaired the clip. I was lucky enough to have my only local audio friend come by last night & get the table setup. Now I am finally starting to see what the buzz is abou...

I really want to thank everyone for the help and the offers to repair the damage. I talked to the person I bought the table & arm from (audiogon member) and he is willing to repair it for me. Enjoying this hobby is much easier with all the gre... 
Please help me I am in trouble with my new table..
Thanks for the replies. Albert, I live in the suburbs of Detroit. I wish I did live near you. I don't know if I should attempt this project myself or not. I thought I could set up the table/cartridge without screwing up and look what happened. I w... 
Anyone had experience with Opera Audio Cyber 211?
Hello Tickfight,I haven't had the pleasure of listening to them but have heard only good things before this thread. Try to lookup member revbrian on agon. I am pretty sure that he is using them in his system. I would email him if I were you. 
Anyone listen to Dodson 218 DAC?

Norah Jones?
I really enjoy listening to her music. I actually think I like her follwup album more than I like her first album. The last two tracks on her second album are fabulous. All that matters is what you enjoy listening to. My girlfriend thinks I am cra... 
Von Schweikert Subwoofers
I have auditioned the VRS1 in my home and thought it was a good performer. I can't say I am personally familiar with the other two you mention. I ended up going with Martin Logan Grotto sub which I think is an excellent performer at a great price.

Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments
Yeah it is light purple to my eyes. I really have noticed it now that mine is breaking in. Better high and low extension. I send the digital out of my dvd player to the North Star dac for incredible movie watching experience. Have fun. 
Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments
Congrats on the excellent digital decision. I second your comments "North Star rocks". Be sure to check out the Revelation Audio Labs i2s cable that I mentioned earlier. It has squeezed even more detail out of the North Star combo. I honestly don'... 
did lightning do this?
Most insurance companies have limits for what they will cover on electronics damaged by a surge. Many times they will not cover more than $1000 per item which to non audiophiles is fine but the folks on audiogon could run into a big gap in coverag... 
Coincident Technology Speakers
I have to tell you that they are my favorite brand of speakers that I have listened to up to this point. I started out with the Total Eclipse LCR which are the Total Eclipse without the woofer section. I still own them and have really enjoyed them...
