| turntable madness Kt, I helped pay for college working at audio stores--I know how to make things work right w/in a tight budget...run a search on Radio Shack, or email DeKay. He's got SET amps and is successfully using two Rats. People in the Asylum say it beats e... | |

| cables 101? The brands and differant sounds? For the money, I would try a pair of Tice interconnects. They're being heavily discounted--1.5m pair @ $137.50. I got two sets and am *very* satisfied... | |
| Serious scare over hearing loss SD, e-mail me....I am a meat eater and with a special regime I had a cholesterol of 124--that's a vegetarian reading! | |
| turntable madness Hey man,I side with the school that says that phono stage is more important than TT. If you start with a free Technics, fine. Get something like an Ortofon Concorde, change the interconnects, get a bottle of Pro Gold and follow DeKay's recipe of t... | |
| cables 101? The brands and differant sounds? Sean is correct on his advice. Also watch out for ads like this one: "Alpha Core Goertz TQ2 new version - tube like sound"How can an interconnect sound like a vaccuum tube? Only with the help of a Voodoo priest!!! | |

| What turntable for 1000 Lots of threads on this subject. Search. Re: Technics SP10; the chipsets are no longer made by Technics--once the chipset dies, you end up with a very expensive frisbee (unfortunately). | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? There's something that Bill Parish (GTT Audio/Absolute Power Cord) taught me: "The last eight feet (of power line) are the most important."A year later I have a very clear idea on this subject--and also why cryogenics is the most cost effective tr... | |

| Need recommendations on cables? I have Swans M1 Speakers, which are not too distant from what you own. My Power amp is a Proton, which falls on the bright side. I am using Tice interconnects and it has smoothed the sound of my DAC-Pre connection---soudstage is wide, tall and dee... | |
