| Silly prices for Nordost cables @barto WELL SAID | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables Not that I would spend that much, however, a fast car, unless you have race track time - is merely a means of transport. If you listen to music 1-2 hours an evening, then, in terms of enjoyment the system is far better value for money BTW I am a p... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I have a Tyr tonearm cable, and some heimdall speaker cables in a system that has a Transfiguration Temper Cartridge, LAvardin IT amp, Yamaha NS1000m speakers - @ctsooner please tell me where my system is defective???I have heard various Nordost c... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? As one spends more on cables they are far less likely to be one size fits all - so to speak. For instance Naim and LAvardin can't use goertz style cables due to high capacitance although they love DNM cables - so however much one spends and tries ... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy DNM - absolutely superb cables | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? hi @roger_paul I am utterly fascinated by what you have written. What you say is interesting insofar as comparatively I recall going to a talk by Nordost and Vertex cables when they explained that they looked at sonar technology in designing cable... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? hi @ roger_paulI guess the loss of distortion has become a single minded pursuit for many amp maker - HAlcro; Neodio; LAvardin - do they not address 'velocity' already?It is fascinating that single ended amps and valves - particularly OTL designs ... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Coming back 'on thread' so to speak - check out what EMT do with their decks. They have suspension tuned in the horizontal plane - I understand it is very effective, but there is a wholesale approach approach as opposed to a widget here and there.... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Stylus drag is more audible to some than others - I am very timing sensitive. I have a low torque high mass deck, a high torque belt drive, an idler and some DD's. The low torque deck sounds great, but when it comes to busy passages it is audible ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I guess in terms of sound quality - gains will be marginal, but the means with which to deliver the results will keep developing - Class D and Class T amps being two such examples. My opinion is that with 'improved' technology logic will dictate a... | |
| Info Wanted on Spectral Cartridges I think they were were made by Benz. That will mean that they are gonna be very well made. There's a guy at Expert Stylus in the UK who refurb cartridges - he knows a lot about Benz Micro cartridges | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Useless Post Service managed to also damage the lower metal cage too. So:1. Broken headshell (not a big deal)2. scraping bearing sound when I rotate the platter3. lights go on - but platter won't spin4. damaged lower plate (may explain bearing/mot... | |

| Helius tonearm users, what have you upgraded to? There's articles in both HiFi World, and also an article in the Absolute Sound that places it above many well known arms like the SME's and Grahams. It does not have VTA adjustment on the fly. I've ordered one with silicon nitride bearings, and ad... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame The original Lavardin designer who died in a car accident - the original IT that I had (which went kapput) sounded better than the upgraded version. His papers on memory distortion are fascinating. It's a tragedy that he died before he designed an... |
