Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s
I have not heard the Dynavector,so cannot comment.I am intimately familiar with the sound of the Helicon,in my friend's set-up.He is an AVID and FANATICAL record collectoer,so I've heard a very wide variety of program material.He has recently had ... 
Opinions on PS Audio Statement power cord
Excellent,and fairly priced.I have the Plus(3 of them).My friend has the Statement in his Rowland 8t and it is a superb product.Believe me,my pal has owned a TON of cords,all superb,but don't let the relatively low price of the Statement take away... 
Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken
R F Sayles,I was not trying to be dismissive of anyone's advice,especially a well heeled hobbyist like Albert Porter.All I was trying to do was add some thoughts as to the process my friend,and I experienced.Yes,it was really great fun.More fun fo... 
Can you have too many tubes?
Albert,though I do love the sound of a well thought out tube based system(no denying the stunning timbres),and would not,myself,rule out adding more tube equipment in the future,I find it a tough road,ergonomically,during summer.Even with A/C,in m... 
Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken
Just my 2 cents.This past winter,both I and my friend(who has almost the exact same rig as me)decided to do a fairly thorough "tube rolling" discourse,with our phono stages.I'll begin by stating that the Joe's Tube Lore piece was,and is,extremely ... 
importance of phono cartridge
Raul,I responded to you on a thread,here.I got a virus in my home computer and must use my work units,which is hard,as they are always in use,for business!!I thought your E mail was a very nice gesture,and hope to answer soon.Best wishes. 
importance of phono cartridge
Boy,am I sorry that my home computer got a virus 3 weeks ago.I'm relying on my business computers,now.Unfortunately I'm missing out on timely responses to threads like this one.I'm missing weeked interactions,which is my loss,and certainly nobody ... 
iron audio mat
Judy,lighten up!There are times when we can gain further insight,into a related subject,when the topic sways a bit.There are always those who will answer queries in a straight forward manner,but Raul is ALWAYS well intended,and sometimes brings a ... 
Schroeder Model - 2
Clio,the cabling does make a huge diff.He was a friend afterall!Best wishes! 
Schroeder Model - 2
Clio,I wish I could help you here.All I can say is that I am fascinated with the Schroeder line,as they look like very unique and original products.I own the 2.2,and truly love it.It is,obviously a fabulous design.My only point of concern,from you... 
Benz ruby H vs. Koetsu Urushi Take 2
There is absolutely no way to come up with any real determination of one cartridge's superiority over another,unless it is in your own system,or in a system,of a friend,who's system characteristics you are intimately familiar with.If you like a ca... 
Electraglide Epiphany vs Kubala-Ssna vs....
My pal is buying an Epiphany,for his Preamp.He currently has a very good EG cable there,listing for about 3,000.00,but not as pricey as the Epiphany.He is going Ga-Ga over the Epiphany's extra conducters,and not having made any kind of comparisons... 
SOTA table owners- getting upgraded
Nrchy,I don't think you need to go as far as Purist.I think it may be too pricey!As stated,our umbilicals were 400 each,so keep this in mind,as cords can be expensive. Also,when you speak to Kirk,mention Sirspeedy.He'll know who I am,and my predil... 
SOTA table owners- getting upgraded
Nrchy,I am talking about the umbilical(stock is dreck)from flywheel to table,as stated!Don't ask me why this was a huge improvement on both my,and my pal's table,but it was.As for the P-300,or any good power source,for that matter.I,and my pal,hav... 
Most beautifull turntables today....
Blue Pearl table,from Great Britan.Unfortuneately 100 grand!Stunning.BTW--At HE-2005,I saw the really old Thorens reference,in the Lamm room.I was SHOCKED at how seemingly SOTA it appeared,as well as drop dead gorgeous.I saw one on Audiogon,used,o...
