| VPI bearing oil/grease? My absolute favorite lubricant for ALL metallic and/or ceramic TT platter/spindle bearings is A. J. van den Hul's (of all people ;--) Spindle Oil. It's unlike anything else out there (that would be appropriate for a TT) and you can find out why he... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Please go to my system page and, specifically, read the short history of my system (starting in 1990 when I bought the CLS II's (now IIz).Since I strongly disagree with about 80% of the previous posts' contents, I'd rather not add to them; however... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Sonic excellence? Maybe; but not precise enough a term for me to understand what's in YOUR mind whan you say it. That's why I used words like "sonic stimulation" and/or "illusion of realism" etc. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I have a slightly different take on this whole subject -- and I'd be interested in your thoughts. I do agree w/ Tennis and others that a larger percentage of the population enjoy music than the the pursuit of "audio" as a hobby.However, I'm stuck ... | |
| cd storage Check out Boltz if you're not familiar with them:http://www.boltz.com/cd-storage-racks.htmlThey have it all over anything else commercially available IMO. | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? MrdB, I was just trying to figure out (from what you said)if there was a Monster speaker cable before Bruce's design, because I don't recall one. I certainly agree with the "marketing genius" part (as opposed to technical genius ;--) | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? MrdB, are you referring to the big fat transparent zip-cord, but with the coarse and fine wires inside? That too was a Brisson design (time aligned.) | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer I agree with Mike, that phase is everything in azimuth adjustment -- however, from my reading of the Fozgometer instruction manual:http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/Manuals/Fosgate/FozgometerManual.pdfit only measures L or R crosstalk levels (sep... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer I agree with Doug. Someone once told me in my Shure cartridge days (when we eyeballed everything!) that unless the cartridge was obviously "tilted" ;--) it would be "just fine". So for me, everything was "just fine" for many years.John, the track ... | |
| Comparing Perf: Original XLR v. RCA- XLR adapter Everything _q says is wrong. | |
| Comparing Perf: Original XLR v. RCA- XLR adapter Grant is correct, however if you'd be interested in more detail, I just posted the following on another site:1. Balanced cables are only "quieter" if carrying a balanced signal (a plus and a minus referenced to a neutral conductor) in which case n... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer damn, I have always done this by ear. Guess I need to blow $250...John, I'm surprised you weren't their first customer!! ;--))Unfortunately (fortunately?) my SME V doesn't allow for such tweaking, so I have to rely on the skill of my cartridge mak... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Mrdecibel: Both your picks certainly should be included. However, the single ended "shotgun"--type interconnect which put Monster on the map (if that's what you are referring to), was actually invented by Bruce Brisson, who parted ways with Noel e... | |
| New speakers from Martin Logan, Ethos $6495 Did you read this:An immensely dynamic 8-inch PoweredForce woofer and 8-inch passive radiator duo utilize an innovative 24-bit Vojtko DSP (digital signal processing) Engine Do you know what DSP means? It stands for "Digital Signal Processing" and... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V AQ4life: I used my SME-supplied vdH tonearm cable for years; skeptical like yourself that anything else would be much of an improvement. But as my system got more resolving, my phono playbck stayed the same even through a couple of cartridge chang... |
