| Tone arm question The Morch tonearm is one to have on your list. Excellent sound, very versatile, and is within your budget. I recently posted a review in the analog review section. Have not tried it on a TD 160 HD, but have briefly tried it on a modified TD 160 wi... | |
| Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room Why not the Legacy Classic HD, used is about the same price as what's on your list. I can get you a new pair for way below retail. Most dynamic speaker I've heard at this price point. | |
| Eichmann Bayonet plugs user experience The bayonet comes with instructions for installation, but most don't bother reading it.The key is to line up the spring wire on the banana with the writing on the housing, these MUST be on the same side.If not, the copper sheath will slide up and ... | |
| Cartridge advice in the $2000 range Another vote for the ZYX line of cartridges.I'm using the ZYX R-100, one of the lower model in their line and was blown away. You can't go wrong with the R-100 Fuji or the Airy 3. | |
| Review: ZYX R100H cartridge Episteme,The ZYX is more neutral than the Blackbird, the Blackbird is very detailed but in the wrong system it could sound a little thin and slightly upward from neutral.With the ZYX, I can hear better stereo imaging and pin point where instrument... | |
| effect of tubes in cd players My Vincent CD-S6 MK is a tube hybrid.In comparison with a Denon 2900 and Sony 900v, the Vincent is more transparent, open, accurate, pace without being harsh. So not all tube cdp are warmer.Scar | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound Steve,Tell me how am I suppose to prove an oxidized conductor sound different from a new conductor in words? Do I need to invite you over so we can compare the two for audible differences.As I stated in previous post that audible differences in an... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound I can't help but laugh at all the measurement techno-jumbo talk and electrical training with facts to back it up talk going on in an audiophile forum, this hobby is the farest thing from best measurement equal best product. Why do we even talk abo... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound Steve,It seems our point of view is different, you're looking at it from the technical side, mine is from an audiophile talking about audiophile cable.Some of you sound like many of the electrical types I've talked to where everything has to be pr... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound Steve,In the world of audiophile where isolation cones, cable lifters, contact enhancers are used, a oxidized conductor would not go over well. Audiophiles will pay hundreds to thousands for a pair of cable where copper used are of 5 nines to 6 ni... | |
| Cable for my amp. 20amp IEC connectors are rectangle, 15amp are sort of triangle with one corner flatten off. Look at the shape of the opening where the power cord is connected to your amp will give the answer. 15amp IEC connector will not fit into a 20amp.Do a Goo... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound Agree, audiophiles are often too critical with minor details, but oxidation which occurs at the surface of a conductor must be taken seriously. Electrical signal tends to travel at the surface of a conductor, NOT the center of a conductor as some ... | |
| Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ I second the XLO.Extremely fast, detailed, and will not high any flaws. It's almost silver like.Scar | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound I agree with Tplavas.The cable geometry makes more of a difference in sound than dielectric types (if we're just counting the big 3: Teflon/PTFE, Polyethylene, cotton). Air is the best dielectric but difficult to manufacture successfully because c... | |
| Power cord suggestions for CDP and tube amp Power cable for CDP makes a big audible difference in how your system sound, in many cases even more so than cords for amplifiers. The important thing is knowing what you're trying to achieve with your system. Are you wanting more warmth and smoot... |
