| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait - Dunning-Kruger Realtors own that cave. Very little light can penetrate. | |
| Looking at upgrading to a new MC cartridge any thoughts? I've found my 17D3 very enjoyable and easy to maintain. Dynavector provides a brush, for cleaning the stylus and cantilever. You probably got one with your 20X too. That and a little STYLAST(same bottle since 1981) have kept everything depos... | |
| Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord . Just another of many variables to consider in this hobby. Best we can do is research, experiment and hope for the positive. Thinking about the plethora of possible electrical/electronic interactions and tastes in sound, it's kinda like cooking. | |
| Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord . @schubert - What's what I've been thinking, regarding their scarcity. I know I'm not coming off mine, any time soon! | |
| Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord . @kinghifi- Never had a Mother II. Of course, cables are one of those things that are highly component dependent, when it comes to compatibility. It’s also said that they(PCs in general) can take much longer than other cables, to, "burn in" and sou... | |
| Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord . I was going to suggest finding a Zu Mother, but- you’re already familiar with the gem. Personally, the only Zu product I like(tried a plethora too). I was lucky enough, some time back, to find one on a Canadian site, in a 5M length, out of which I... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... The OP made the same very reasonable recommendation, to open and close the post, that describes his(and his relative’s) experience. The result: the typical typographical/verbal dysentery, from AudiogoN’s resident, OCD, naysayers. So tedious! My ap... | |

| When is it time to consider adding a SUT? Depending on whether you’re running the cart in balanced or unbalanced, the Ref 2 will give either 74 or 68 dB of gain(respectively), which SHOULD be plenty, with even a very low output cart. Especially given how low the noise level is with the Re... | |
| Is this tube rush ? Try replacing the phono stage tubes with some tested as low noise/either gold or platinum, as described on the following page. Of course Kevin isn’t the only tube seller that grades for low noise. (https://www.upscaleaudio.com/pages/grading-matchi... | |
| Suggestions for a passive line-level high-pass crossover? The following manual(for the Dahlquist DQ-LP1) contains a formula for, and a chart of, the values(capacitors and if needed, resistors) that will give you your desired crossover point(BUT- 1st order), based on the input impedance of your mid/high a... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Once again, AudiogoN members have exemplified the adverb, "ad nauseam". Or, (to be more colloquial) managed to, "beat another dead horse". KUDOS! | |
| Recs for Tubes & tweaks for HH Scott separates Something else to be considered, given the advanced age of your components, if it hasn’t already been addressed. The higher the power supply impedance, the worse the peak compression and bass performance. The older/dryer the electrolytic caps, the... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @grannyring(et al) - As I posted earlier: (I believe Ivor Tiefenbrun(Linn founder) said something along the lines of, " if you haven’t heard it, you have no opinion". That just makes sense, which(to some around here) seems irrelevant.) It escapes ... | |
| Wife trouble My wife and I FINALLY agreed, that we were actually seeking the exact same thing. Someone else. |
