Isolation for power line conditioner?
Is this turning into a Sistrum/Audiopoints thread? The cultists are here... 
Starter Turntable
It's not worth it, unless you plan to have albums that are not available on CD. You'll be better off spending your money on a belt drive transport/player and have it modded. Besides, chances are you'll end up with one of those crappy belt drive TT... 
Importance of Power Conditioner?

Importance of Power Conditioner?
I feed my system off a 30 amp, 220V dedicated line via a 95 lb, 220V/110V isolation transformer/filter. Most any other solution will end up in the *wannabe* category. Power at the panel level is where it should be addressed first (this would inclu... 
where to find lead shot?
Go to Detroit & piss somebody off! 
Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?
Raoul, just because *you* do not understand what I'm stating does not mean that it doesn't make sense. You don't even know where Dan Wright placed the Black Gate capacitors in my transport and you spin off with a stupid comment that only makes you...

Raul, I don't care what you think--no offense (perdona sa'e). 
power cord replacement...source or amp first?
Agree w/ Mikesinger. My best power cord (AudioPrism Super Natural 9.5) feeds my transport. When I get a second one it will feed my phonostage. That power cord let me know my phonostage was limiting the modded 1200's speed. Amazing, isn't it?Transf...

Crespo, CD’s have *perfect* pitch, ultra low noise floor and excellent dynamic range. Vinyl cannot match digital in those departments. When glare and other artifacts are removed from a digital playback system, the resulting sound is stunning. So s...

Crespo, I'm going to take you to school. Stay tuned... 
Which Audio Interconnect would you recommend?
Punchy, detailed & robust copper = Rhapsody II's by Straightwire. I won't sell mine...

George, you should talk to Kevin. He's the one that profits from selling modded 1200's, not me. He also knows a LOT more than me...Perception is indeed a problem. Most people perceive Bose speakers as the bomb, while most audiophiles perceive that...

Keith, it's *you*, talking about $$$. I have something for you...get a hold of a Channel Islands passive preamp ($249) and compare it to your $4K Presence. You're going to cry...

Nobody messes w/ the modded 1200 anymore. Not here, not in the Asylum. You'd have to spend around $5K to equal or outperform it. There's quite a few 1200 modders out there...Tracy from Barbados, Nightdoggy, Alex Yakovlev (the last two electrical e...

It's, IMO, the most cost effective high performance production deck currently available:Kab Audiophile Standard high performance turntable Mine has just the Groovemaster, fluid damper and outboard power supply along with some Marigo dots on the gi...
