| which solder do you recommend? Tireguy, It is good to hear from you. Maybe I am just getting old but I do not remember seeing you post much these days. The reasons you mention using the Cardas solder seem very good to me but alas, Nick Gowan From True Sounds (an Audio Note deal... | |
| Autoformers The Rogues are rated at 120 watts / 8 OHMs.This was from about 2 years ago and I do not own any of the equipment I had then. (I think) I went from Nordost Blue Heaven speaker wire to the Autoformers and everything improved. I really preferred them... | |

| what is the most valuable dvd player for audio? My Muse model 9 signature gen 3 has incredible sound on DVD and CD. Terrific picture too and I like the remote. I bought mine used for $1350.Maybe you could get the gen 2 for $1000. | |
| Audio Note IQ1 cartridge experience? At $799 too! Thanks Khaki8!Can you compare the bass between the two?I find the Grado a little bass heavy, but very good otherwise... | |
| Audionote Soro SE, or cheaper single-ended? The Soro is really damn good with superb phono section and it sounds like 80 watts to boot. My friend and I have talked more than once how good it is for the money. A no brainer IMO | |
