| Three output versions of Benz ACE cartridge... Sometimes low output is not the best way to go because of increased noise and distortion. I would go for the middle one, if not the high output version. In this particular case of variable gain routing the middle or high output make more sense. Ma... | |
| SME V tonearm versus Rega tonearms on Michell Orbe The Rega is no match for an SME. Rega tonearms are entry level. SME is the real thing. Just my.02. | |
| Stranded or solid core for digital audio cable? Ask Bob Carver. Just my .02. | |
| My 1st TT your thoughts, please? Make sure you have plenty of Progold, decent interconnects (Esoteric Conductors my favorites), a record cleaning machine, Last Products, brushes, Discwasher for occasional wiping and a good cartridge. Try a Shure V15 V and take it from there. Just... | |
| Best power cord to use with a Krell preamp. Esoteric Audio Reference Power Cord and a dedicated line, of course. Just my .02 | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? Another good example is the typical cheap internal wire used in speaker systems, how then can $10k speaker cables improve the sound? A similar comparision can be drawn for a power cord plus some filtering action. | |
| NBS Audio Cables I have used their products are they are one of the better lines. Other companies like Pure Note and Silver Audio are aslo excellent. Just because a company is small does not mean that great products cannot be realized. In fact I prefer this over t... | |
| Burn In Time for TruthLinks Most i/c about 150 hours initially. Then several months of seasoning. | |
| making our own custom cables/interconnects ... My .02. There are many snake oil cables out there, just cut a few open to see. However there are many good brands where the engineering and materials are sound. The problem is trying to copy these. It is costly to buy pure silver wire (like 6n+), ... | |
| No cost Power Cord Upgrade/Tweak You will defeat the shielding function of the power cord if it is not grounded at the wall outlet. Also it is safety hazard. I do agree that there is lots of garbage on the ground plane. I have also lifted grounds on a variety of high-end cords. S... | |
| BNC or OPTICAL links? I have found optical cables (ST) to sound softer and less focused than coaxial 75-Ohm BNC cables. As always it depends on your gear. Try both side-by-side if you can. | |
| Power Cords for Beginners: Synergistic v. Shunyata You can fare very well by making your own (the Bob Crump power cord) or buying something like the Absolute Power Cord here in Audiogon. I would start with the simple ones and then upgrade if not satisfied. Just my .02 | |
| What is the best digital cable? The DRC, digital reference cable by Esoteric Conductors is my favorite. Nothing comes close and is worth every penny if $450/ meter is in your budget. Amazing speed, details; the harmonics are comepletely coherent and no fatigue whatsoever. Maybe ... | |
| 1.0 vs. 1.5 Meter Digital Cable Cable should be at least two meters long due to bandwith characteristics. Otherwise there will not be proper 'breathing' within the cable. Just my .02 | |
| i need a beter interconnects to my systam My .02. I have Levinson gear. I am using Pure Note. Mr. Tekunda (posts in this forum) has convinced me to try Valhalla but maybe my next cable should be Gen. 5 if I see my inheritance. Try a bunch and see for yourself. |
