| Multiple turntables For those of you with more than one tonearm connected to your phono stage, you should try disconnecting one set of cables (including the ground wire) and see if the sound is affected on your other tonearm. I did this and was surprised to find that... | |
| Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp Tobes' findings didn't surprise me at all. I bought several Audio 1 oil caps from Cary many years ago and never found a place where I liked them. They had all the worst traits of oil caps (softness on leading edges, loose bass lacking in impact, a... | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono My Miyajima BE Mono should be arriving this week and I look forward to hearing what all the fuss is about. I'll be using mine on a Schick 12" arm.Lula, I think I can answer your question. Some mono cartridges (such as the Miyajimas) are "true mono... | |

| Speaker Stand Design? Stanwal, I am curious about your experience with Spendors on both Sound Anchor and Skylan stands. I have Sound Anchor stands with my SP100s, but I was wondering if the Skylan might give me a fuller low end. Could you describe what you noticed with... | |
| Spendor and Tubes I agree 100%. I have been using my SP100s with tubes for 10 years now. During that time, I have paired them with a modified Dyna 70, Cary 40M monoblocks, EICO push-pull monoblocks (6L6 and EL-34), 300B single ended amps, and now Emotive Vita push-... | |
