| Rega Apheta 3 on Rega Planar 8: Any idea on screws torque values ? depends on the cartridge body undergoing deformation under load . Common sense is a good guide.. | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects anything but blue jeans interconnects: bought a pair for patio system - dynamically constricted garbage and a total waste of my money. Going cheap can be a false economy.. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? I will try a Niobioum on the input position for 500 hrs | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? your results with full Z-foils mirror my own. Ideally I use a mixture of Z-foils and Takman metals, with a few Caddock MK132 (very full, bold and assertive) and Shinkoh tants (musical and finely textured) thrown in for flavour. The MK132‘s are ve... | |
