From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
I am glad you are enjoying the DeVores, they are a great speaker. The guy I was buying the magneplaners from re-negged on the deal. I didn't notice the phono problem right away because I hadn't played any vinyl for a few months. I think the proble... 
Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl
I am not in the financial position to buy a new low output mc cartridge and I spoke with Mike at VPI and he said the cartridge is NOT a mismatch for my JMW9 arm, especially since I had the new and heavier counterweight. I purchased the cartridge f...

Cabling with a single vendor-new experience for me
I am using all MIT Terminator 2 intercomnnects and Terminator 2 speaker cable in my system. There is definitely something to be said synergy wise when using the same brand. I didn't like the MIT power cables, so I went with all Shunyata Diamondbac...

Replacing the cartridge is not an option for me, but I will try some different platforms on top of my audio rack. I thought that since I had originaly had the Scout sitting on top of a 2 inch thick slab of black granite would have eliminated that ...

The table wasn't recently set up. I have had it for 2 years. It is definitely the turntable picking up resonant energy from the turntable. I am going to try the KAB filter first and go from there.Bob

Actually, I hadn't thought of that. I'll give him a call in the morning.

I am guessing it was Newton but the dealer is Goodwins High End. My bad, it's Waltham Mass. I got confused because the Newton/Wellsley exit on I 95 is close by. I really don't like the idea of inserting a rumble filter via the tape loop into my sy... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
My Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme+++ amp is the best solid state to ever grace my living room. This is definitely a keeper.Bob 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
My system has 5 Shunyata diamondback power cords, 1 copperhead power cord and 1 venom power cord. I find the copperhead and diamondback to be a lot of bang for the buck and that is the most I would spend on cords. I am using the Venom for the turn... 
Which purchase tipped you into nirvana.
Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme+++ power amp and Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference speakers. I have been in this hobby for more than 40 years and I keep asking myself "how come I didn't hear about Odyssey Audio much sooner?"This power amp and speakers ... 
Odyssey Kismet Reference Speakers-
I have been thinking that the only constant in my system for the past 11 years are my speaker cables and interconnects. I am currently using MIT Terminator2 speaker cables and interconnects, and I am thinking of buying the Groneberg speaker cable ... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
I use a mix of Shunyata Copperhead, venom and Dioamondback power cords in my system. The only component that isn't using a Shunyata cord is my Magnum Dynalab tuner because there is no IEC connection. I also use Shunyata Guardian 2 and Guardian 4 p...
