| Power Cord suggestion please @Jethro1964 said:I would disagree with anyone who says don’t waste your money on power cords. I think it’s sonically one of the first upgrades u should do. I was blown away by the difference. Some would say it is the upgrade that will make the lar... | |
| Power Cord suggestion please Here’s a different perspective: consider what you want out of a power cord. Do you want it to look pretty or serve an active role in reducing transient noise? Every half-decent product has filter chokes and bypass capacitors immediately after the ... | |

| Phono Stages with External Power Supplies...Worth It? Fundamentally speaking, separating the processing of the weakest signal from the EMI of an AC power supply is highly desired. Go in that direction if you can. | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible @gunmetalzin I suggest listening for those harsh highs on headphones to see if the problem surfaces there. If that’s the case, your speaker cables are not the cause, and you need to look elsewhere (try a different source) to pinpoint the culprit. ... | |

| Requirements for Moving Coil setup Most moving coil cartridges are low compliance, and are meant to be used on a low compliance tonearm. I doubt the JVC would be equipped with a low compliance tonearm. A more suitable MM cartridge for the JVC (if it’s a direct drive) would be a shi... |
