| Passive parts: Do they make a difference ? Nice to read right at the top of your post that this fellow considers that passive components of better quality play a role in the "measurable performance" of a circuit. I guess this means that it is not pure voodoo amd mumbo jumbo after all! I wi... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? REPEAT: room acoustics, placement of speakers. REPEAT: room acoustics, placement of speakers. | |
| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? At least Bryston as the courage to put its money where its mouth is. Audiophiles have the nastiest habit of reading all sorts of things into all sorts of things. Why not suggest buying Chinese made tube equipment from some overnight sensation cott... | |
| Information on balancing tone arm The counterbalance has to be set so that, without antiskate, (that is setting the antiskate to zero) the tonearm with cartridge installed "floats" when put over the outer portion of the platter. That is "zero" tracking force. Normally (I never own... | |

| Preamp is an amplifier too, right??? Seems strange no one mentioned that in the days of vinyl only, the preamp had two basic and indispensable functions: to amplify the very small signal coming from a cartridge and to equalize it to the RIAA curve. Preamps seemed more of a "real" com... | |
| How Many??? I asked the same question at AA, I think, a while back, as an aside to some other question. Nobody picked up on it. I would love to know also. High-end audiophiles are a rare group in that they love to spend way, way more for any product believing... | |
| Anyone have problems with Arcam digital gear That line is as old as time: drop a subtle or unsubtle line that the brand a potential customer has mentioned is prone to problems. A corollary is to say: "Oh, I used to carry that line, but I dropped it". That usually means he couldn't sell any o... | |
| MM Cartridge Comparison Shure V-15x mr will give you everything required, save and except for snob appeal, prestige and a trophy for show-and-tell. | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? The Arcam CD 23 or 23 T reproduces the tone of musical instruments and voice in a delightful way and, at least in my system, gives a palpable presence to Ella, Sarah and company. I wouldn't expect any miracles from magic cables on either end of yo... | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise Herman, you have managed to by-pass CDs completely? Amazing, they have been around for more than twenty years. | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Are we able to communicate with the dead through a seance? If you say no, the beliefs you are negating may be your own. And now it's back to the Montgomery Brothers for some music for me, I opened my mind up a bit too much tonight at the behest of... | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise I recommend an SACD player with good Redbook playback. That's how most of the plebe gets its music anyway and they didn't have to downgrade. Amazing that those one dollar used vinyl albums actually require $45,000.00 of table, arm, cart, preamp to... | |
| Paolo Conte-recommendations. Nice to know other people are discovering Paolo Conte. I have been listening to his stuff for years, off and on. My favourite is the album "Come Di". I also like "Aguaplano" and the one simply entitled "Paolo Conte". I recently saw,out of the corn... | |
