KCI Pure Gold and the benefits
I would have to disagree with you Psychicanimal. Most of us on this forum live in "electrically noisy" areas. Care to explain your conclusion a little more?It's all in the Audiogon archives. An audio system is about--in order of importance:1) powe...

The Grace F9 Ruby is one of my all time favorites. I don't own one but have a friend who did.Just installed the Audio Technica AT25 ( has two laminated, toroidal ring cores ). It's a great match to the 1200's tonearm, as the carbon fiber armature ...

Mazda Man, you're making a big mistake making cable decisions while living in an electrically noisy townhouse complex. We've discussed this many times: your particular power filter, no matter how expensive and fancy looking, is a substandard produ...

Tvad: I can sell you some beachfront land for cheap...three dollars an acre. E-mail me.JohnnyB: I e-mailed you the pictures. There was a nice tourist that let me use their laptop--I don't own a computer. No computers on this island...only little A...

Tell me something psychic, have you ever even heard a $5K table? I have heard a SL1200 and it sound nothing like a $5K table. Doesn't even sound like $500 table.No I haven't heard a $5K TT. I was born and raised in a little Caribbean island with o... 
KAB EV-1 record cleaner-what a pleasant surprise
Seems to me the more suction the better (up to a point of course)NO, NO, NO.Think back and review past experiences with *suction*. Just enough is just right. Just enough suction with slow movements is what works.I have a Nitty Gritty Record Doctor...

Taking pains to get this 'table acoustically/vibrationally isolated pays off big sonic dividends.I have three Dennensen air suspension platform pistons under a granite slab under my KAB modded 1200. The air suspension makes a HUGE sonic improvemen...

Back then, good sound was available to everybody. Along came high end...Ridculous, isn't it?Now, how many dare get a KAB modded Technics 1200 turntable?*** 
Technics SL-1200MKII and AT-440MLa, very good
HDM is correct about the DB phono pre. It would also free cash to buy KAB mods for your 1200, like the fluid damper & outboard power supply.***

There is hope! Next is trying the KAB modded Technics 1200...

Gave it a quick spin last night after a couple of hours break in. First impressions are it is a different presentation style to the mc's; more up-front, easy to pick out individual instruments, full dynamic sound, soundstage concentrated towards t... 
tubes and analog
The marketplace is speaking. Is the marketplace mad?Like I said, I am not against tubes but am against using them to mask system anomalies. I think a large portion of tube equipment sales are due to this unfortunate latter use. My system is 100% s...
