Power Cords with built in RF reduction?
If I'm not mistaken, Audioengr makes power cords with filtered ground, but not cheap... 
Help Please: What Cartridge?
Agree with you, Larry...but I wanted to make the point that type of music is key to testing gear. It was harder to tell the difference between the IC's with your Diana Krall CD than w/ my Gilberto Santa Rosa. Salsa is extremely demanding on audio ... 
Help Please: What Cartridge?
You ARE extremely knowledgeable regarding analog, Tom. When I plan to upgrade my creature on steroids' cables you'll be the first to know. I want to have something good. Now, I just came back from Lak's place doing a shootout between the Pure Note...

There is hope!This is proof of what a *friendly* reminder that not everything is audio can do...

Help Please: What Cartridge?
Just browse through the analog posts and you will find TWL. Extremely knowledgeableregarding analog. Maybe someday he'll get into DDs and be "perfect"... 
Help Please: What Cartridge?
You're welcome. I think TWL is way more knowledgeable to help you choose a *compatible* cartridge. I don't trust his musical taste, though!!!As I said, the Ortofon X5 is outstanding and it outperforms cartridgesd sevral times its price. The good n...

Reading comprehension problems, once more...1) I have not "railed" against the Sistrum:This is not to say that the Systrum is not a step in the right direction. It is a step in the right direction. Whether it's worth the money is another story. Ca... 
Interconnect for my little sister
Some people just don't get it. It's matter of personal preferences. My sister loves travelling more than audio. She travels twice a year. At this very moment she is on a Caribbean cruise w/ my mother and she paid for the whole thing. She'd rather ...

TWL, I posted why I came in here: Lak asked me to check out the Sistrum and also to call the owner. I told him calling him would be pointless, as I would be bombarded with useful information interspersed by a sales pitch. I think the Sistrum does ...

Audiotweak, you're the one who has contradicted himself:"The geometry of the Audiopoint was designed as follows: The flat surface and or the shaft are collection areas. The tip is the exit point. The point was designed to be an exit point only, it...

Fbhifi, you need to understand Voodoo magic. If you use the point down it is a "one way drain". Flip it and it becomes a "megaphone"... 
Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP?
No, but I can point you in the direction of a TT whose sound is closer to the positive attributes of a CD: modded Technics 1200 with tonearm fluid damper. Read Zaikesman's review in the accessories section.It is my goal to keep my CD and vinyl pla...
