| Where to buy Metrum Octave? You might try direct; explain the problems you are having. I bought mine that way ; there was a long wait but well worth it. | |

| Local dealer has ESP Find one that has ESPN. | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 I got it yesterday; it sounds great. | |
| High Capacitance Phono/Tonearm Cables? Use the DB; without the extra capacitance the Shure will exhibit a drooping midrange response. Disclaimer; I was a DB dealer 30 years ago; bought ONE of these kits and sold it a couple of years ago. They haven't actually gone up THAT much compared... | |
| Why does your turntable sound the way it does. Why does a car drive the way it does? Air in tires might be wrong pressure; wheels might be out of alignment; ignition might be malfunctioning and so on. Complex mechanical systems can be out of alignment in many ways. When the Hale telescope on M... | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 I am getting a Townshend Allegri; already ordered. I have used several passives and have a couple of good ones now but I felt that the transformer coupled ones were the way I wanted to go. | |

| North Carolina Audio Club I am moving to Waynesville this fall and would like to meet other audiophiles in the area [Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville]. | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha break-in time ? Judging from my friend Dave's experence it takes quite a while; keeps getting better for a long time. I would say a few hundred at least for best performance. | |
| Unipivot tonearms less forgiving of Vinyl quality? There is a current thread on Pinkfish on this subject if you are interested. | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 I used a Cardas GR balanced with good results with my Graham 2.2. Now using a Rega 1000 which has captive cables. I also leave mine in the line position when not listening. Once in a while I forget to switch and wonder why the system is not soundi... | |
