Unipivot vs Linear Tracking
Incidentally, I have thought about using an LT with the Scheu Premier. Any recommendations? Naturally, I would have to make separate base, can this work?. LT arms to consider, Air Tangent, ET 2, Clearaudio and Airtech MG-1.Quote fromCjfrbwI spent ... 
Unipivot vs Linear Tracking
Darkmoebius, I must admit the Scheu Classic arm was a lot of work to setup and it sounds wonderful on the Scheu Premier. For now I can sit back and enjoy the music with no fuss to tweaking the arm until I decide to change cartridge. Which incident... 
Unipivot vs Linear Tracking
Now how about the Schroder, Graham, Breuer or Yorke ? Are these competitive with the ET II, Clearaudio TQ-1,Goldmund and perhaps further up the Linear chain? I've heard the top line Clearaudio, ET 2 and a Schroder at RMAF. Have not had one of thes...

Interconnect for Solid State, Perreaux, B&W 802's
Sold the 802's a while back for Magnepans but thought I should mention the following. The Goertz Sapphire 1/2 Meter turned out to be exceptional interconnect.Much more natural and rich without being tilted in the highs like many others.Spl 
Interconnect for Solid State, Perreaux, B&W 802's
Audphile, I agree for the extra couple hundred the Matrix Ref II and Silver Ref do sound better. For economy the WOW's are unbeatable. I have a pair of Goertz Sapphire 1/2 Meter coming so we shall see how these stand up. There silver so comparison... 
B&W 802 Series 80
Note, worked this out by some careful listening with a fine BIS recording on vinyl. Quite simple dynamically.A=High RangeB=Moderate RangeC=low RangeThe beauty of these older 802's and the dials is that they act as a very simple EQ for poor recordi...

Andrewdoan, Ive been useing Acoustic Zen WOW cables I purchased on Audiogon for a price within the HERO range that in my opinion out perform the HERO. If you can find a pair I suggest you try them. They are more detailed with a better soundstage a...

Do Cables Wear Out?
Pabelson, all commentary on breakdown that serves to inform us hi-fi buyer's of drawbacks should not be frowned on. We all spend large amounts of $$$ to get our systems to sound great so in regards to Jwpstayman answer I feel it is welcome. I admi... 
Do Cables Wear Out?
Ive been enjoying the serious and the nonsensical replies. I really enjoyed the Rent a Cable idea, oh and yes I do have a family and am far from numb Mitch as I have grown up around the Stereophile people here in Santa Fe so needless to say I have... 
Do Cables Wear Out?
Im not worried about my cables coming apart, nor do I subcribe to sales pitches trying so sell you a lot in the desert. I merely felt this a worthy topic of discussion. And to boot Van den hul uses carbon I believe for this very reason.Where I was...
