| Let's build a subwoofer interconnect Per Rives suggestion, I checked out the BetterCables website. However, teir new subwoofer cable is stranded, silver plated copper w/ foamed insulation. I'd go for the VenHaus Pulsar, since it's solid core copper, with solid (instead of foamed) ins... | |
| Best power cords in the $250-$400 range? Are we talking car audio here? | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? In the end, the vinyl exists, and it is still available on the cheap, it just takes some time to find it. Once you do though, the wonders of new old music is at your finger tips and usually at prices CD's can't match just yet. But for new music, k... | |
| AC captive cords??? For captive cords the Highwire Wirewrap works. | |
| Silver or copper fuses for amps and cdplayer ? Come on, the guy is stating he's a dealer. Nothing wrong. Something like fuses would be very component specific. | |
| TIME to break in a Denon 103R Thanks for your help, John. My father's friend was a freak when it came to spending cartridges. I think he went astray when he jumped on the low output MC wagon and sold his Technics SP-10 for a SOTA vacuum. Earlier this year he admitted to me swi... | |
| TIME to break in a Denon 103R Actually, Doug, there are several issues at once here, besides breaking in (an unavoidable process). Record wear, trackability, stylus shape, the inadequacies of the analog medium and the cash outlay necessary for making low output MC's (and other... | |

| TIME to break in a Denon 103R Larry, tell your friend that for a Denon 103 (or 103R) on a Rega, Twl's HIFI mod is an absolute must.Trackability, my dearest Doug, trackability. Let's start playing those MC's on the Shure test records. I have the III, IV and V records. Wish I ha... | |
| TIME to break in a Denon 103R Given equal improper alignment, other stylus profiles are more likely to do much greater damage.True, I am very careful when I set up the Fritz Geiger stylus. Could become a flying knife down in the grooves. Trackability must also be factored in t... | |
| TIME to break in a Denon 103R It's not theory--it's simple physics: P = F/S. The better the stylus, the larger the contact area, the deeper it will go into the record groove. From eliptical, to hiper eliptical, to Shibata (Audio Tecnica), Stereohedron (Stanton) and Fritz Geige... | |
| TIME to break in a Denon 103R Doug, your answer dissapoints me. How can you recommend a cartridge that uses a 16.5u round stylus? That will destroy anyone's record collection--unless they are 1950's hard mono records. Maybe for a high end kiddie phonograph a radial tip would w... | |
| Oyaide outlets After reviewing the materials used in the F1/M1 connectors, it makes me suspect that lowered conductivity/high resistance may be the culprit. Those connectors are made with beryllium copper, platinum, and palladium, all of which are poor conducto... | |
