| Step-up transformers... Has anyone listened to both the K&K and the Bent Audio? Toying with switching from a .4mv Shelter 501II to something lower output going into my CAT SL1 MkIII. Suggestions for this application? Thanks, Spencer | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Guys, thanks for the brief Mahler primer. I'm ready to improve upon my pathetic album entitled, "Mahler's Greatest Hits". Shouldn't that be illegal? Rushton, Fremer certainly isn't the only Smile-lover out there, and I generally like Mikey's taste... | |
| DIY stylus-cleaning magic long Thanks Doug, I tried it today, and based on what I see under magnification and hear, it works! I tried mounting the eraser on a quarter with some blu-tak type putty, and I lower the stylus in after lying the quarter/eraser on the platter. Seems ea... | |
| good match for Atma-Sphere M60 As the Bank in Banksfriend, I feel like I've gotta add something here...I like many of the suggestions already made here:Merlins - Biased, but I think you can't beat 'emProacs - Easy to drive, nice woodwork, good mids, but perhaps lacking a bit of... | |

| Going HD - Should I dump DirectTV? Sean's comment that it depends on local conditions matches what I've heard. A Comcast repair guy told me that I shouldn't bother w/their HD yet, because of problems in my neighborhood. As a DirectTV / Tivo user, I'm reluctant to switch to any cabl... | |
| Preamps with Berning ZH570 Art,I've been happily using the CAT SL1-MkIII with my Berning. It replaced a Joule Electra LA150. They are both very good, but I have a preference for the CAT. The dynamic jump is goosebump inducing. The CAT is dead quiet, and the phono section is... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zaikes, Otis Spann! You've inspired my next LP...Rushton, think I'd like to hear the "Age of Gold" sometime. It sure is advertised a bunch lately.Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles - super live album; what a songbook. Easy to take for granted how man... | |
| Are you bored to tears with the topics lately? Very disappointed that so many pick up on the Dan Brown reference(yes, boa--agree it's dumbed-down), bur NOBODY commented on the Marx Brothers reference! And to think I almost thought I'd found the elusive worthy club that would even have me(let a... | |

| Speaker choices, $1000-2000 Smooth & Musical I like Bigkidz recommendation of Alon II or IV. They are definitely smooth & musical.The other one that shocks me as to have not been mentioned here so far is the Vandersteen. The 2CE and predecessors are the #1 selling high end speaker of all... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat has contributed on many threads that I've read and it's clear that he's a passionate guy who enjoys plenty of spirited banter, but always in a way that makes you want to know more of him. Our thoughts are with you, Lugnut!Cheers,Spencer | |

Sometimes we truly deserve the "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt.I'm a little surprised at your comments re: the Wheaton. Which ... |
