| paypal phishing There have been a lot of them coming out lately, both for Paypal and Ebay. I'm getting one or two a day. A lot of different variations on the theme, including one where a seller at an auction is trying to contact you. Be very suspicious of anythin... | |
| Can the Vendetta be updated? If John is anything like he used to be, it could take a long time for you to get your Vendetta back if you send it for an upgrade. You cannot rush genius. You should discuss a timetable with him as well. Great phono stage, by the way. Well ahead o... | |
| Organ CDs with really deep bass Marty, that is a good one, I've got it too. Marshall is excellent, and the Liszt is a good showpiece for deep bass. | |
| Thinking outside the bean I think you'd get better, more full-bodied flavor if you used one of the Purist Dominus power cords, myself. That's been my experience, anyway. DISCLAIMER--I am not a Purist dealer. | |
| Kubala Sosna Emotion vs. Jena Valkyre speaker cabl Can't comment on the Jena, as haven't heard it, but I have switched all my cabling to Kubala-Sosna Emotion. If you love music, you'll like the K-S. There are a number of threads about Kubala Sosna cables, you should check them out. If I recall cor... | |

| Do speakers have to "warm-up" too? Beavis, perhaps, but remember, in the post french_fries says he lets his amps run for 30 minutes before putting any signal through them. Now Perfectionist has the right idea when it comes to listening enjoyment! | |
| Do speakers have to "warm-up" too? You're not crazy, I've noticed this too. I believe you're right, the voice coils do need to warm up, or at least something like that (the designer of my speakers told me something to that effect). | |
| What is the lowest LOMC you guys know of??? The lowest I had was the original Transfiguration cartridge, which was somewhere south of .15mv or something like that (did I get the decimal in the right place?). That was a notoriously low-output cartridge. Don't know among current offerings. | |

| Soaking in pause mode improves CD transport snd? It is a real phenomenon, sometimes called "jogging" the laser. You can do it quickly, as Pbowne mentioned. Check the Magnan website, they have a short discussion of this and other tweaks. | |
