| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I do not know what you are currently using but here are some points of consideration. At your price range you can check some cables from Acoustic Revive (triple c reference or absolute) Furutech (nano flux pcocc), Acrolinc (mexcel ducc), even thou... | |
| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) Best is to consult your Carry dealer if the gain can be lowered to 12-18db (se-balanced), or lower hitting a total of early 40db max. I expect that would be sufficiently enough with speaker sensitivity between 88-91db. | |

| A New MC to Catch One's Attention You've got to be nuts or have money to burn to spend $9K on a cartridge. They all wear out and need replacement! So do we. | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Without having heard the system i can speculate, Not so good dealer, rather things were assembled in a hurry, not a good match somewhere, i am not fond if Wilson speakers but i know Transparent cabling to be musical, probably too much of a good t... | |
| Tonearm Parallel? You start with arm tube parallel to the record surface (cartridge tracking weight within limits) and then go up or down. Your cartridge manufacturer can give you the best guidance, since some cartridges require their top or bottom side to be para... | |
| KEF 104/2 vs B&W CDM 7 SE @soundseeker810, 104/2 and Q950 are not made by same cloth. Ther former was in their reference line while the later is a good looking and more economic speaker with an easy going sound (if you want that). But as you discovered work has to be don... |
