DCCA vs. PS. Audio AC-12/AC-10.
05-13-11: ThesoundhouseYes and the DCCA kills the P.S. Audio Really ? How do you make such an assertion ? Do you own both cables and have done an extensive a/b comparo between the two ? If so, what did you like about the sound of DCCA versus PSA ? 
Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright????
It's a complete misnomer that pure silver wire is bright. I run Kimber KCAG from my phono pre to main pre. I also run Siltec MC4-80 (pure Silver) to my power amps. They are neutral and very revealing...not bright. If they were, I'm sure my Wilson ... 
"God Bless the Child" on Idol?
James clearly had the most talent with the most professional level of stage presence. The others look scared to death and are not really believeable (save for Scotty doing country). Every time I see the country crooner I think Alfred E. Newman sin... 
A $300-$400 turntable tweak
It all comes down to the brand/model of the tables... whether a ring is beneficial or not. Lighter tables, platters with matte's are probably not good candidates. Heavy weight tables with big heavy solid platter's that use no matte are another ket... 
Which speaker has the biggest sound stage?
For dynamic cone driver coherant type speakers, Wilson W/P's put off the biggest stage I have heard. No experience with MP or MBL's. Just by design, I would expect the omni-directional Radialstrahler's to be king in this dept.

Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers
sounds like you have a great plan.. Besides, if it you don't like it, authorized dealers have a return policy with perhaps a restock fee... 
Transparent cables with Thiel speakers
12-14-10: Ricred1I just don't understand why so many Wilson owners swear by Transparent, in the context of my system it wasn't close and I agree with Lougiants comments, because I had the same experience!One reason I can think of...the internal wi...

Cartridge protractor- the best?
The convenience comes from the ability to firm lock the platter/alignment tool in a single spot when making the tangency adjustment. Thanks for clearing that up for me Larry. 
Cartridge protractor- the best?
In other words, as long as the protractor is on the spidle, no matter where the platter moves, the null point alignment lines will be correct ? This now makes sense to me...duhactually on further thought, this doesn't make sense to me...The line o... 
Cartridge protractor- the best?
Hi Nandric...so using a feikert as an example, the arm that touches the pivot point is only for getting the correct spindle to pivot point distance and has nothing to do with adjusting the zenith (offset) angle ? In other words, as long as the pro... 
Cartridge protractor- the best?
Can someone please explain how any of these alignment protractors being discussed that use line of sight from spindle to pivot can be as accurate as a protractor that uses an arm and pin/nail (Dr. Feikert or Clearaudio) that locks the protractor t...
