| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Jesu - Ascension | |
| EAR 834P help With the EAR 834p (Music Hall 7/Lyra Argo i) I use Harmonic Technology Silver Phono cable with their locking RCAs and I am very happy with the results. Smooth and neutral which is how I like it. | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? Lyra Argo i and Helikon i. Lyra is now by far my favorite cartridge company after having owned models by van den Hul, Benz Micro, Koetsu, Grado and Shelter. Their line contact styli track beautifully and get the information out of the groove. | |
| Cabling for ear 834 phono I have been using Harmonic Technologies Truth Link for several years now between my EAR 834p and my line stage with satisfactory results. Another option you might consider is a cable by Audioquest such as their Niagara. What are you using between ... | |

| Gruv Glide I avoid this sort of stuff, just clean vinyl with my VPI and I'm done. Keep your stylus clean too. | |
| Krell FPB 600 or 400cx? Sorry I meant 2 Ohms. | |
| Disappointing Evening We are a rare breed of enthusiasts, and we have priorities that are unique to each of us, even within this forum. I have a few audio buddies but we don't spend much time listening to each other's systems over the course of year. My closest audio b... | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised I too have had this experience and I think part of it comes from not having too high an expectation that allows us to relax and simply evaluate what we perceive at face value. The problem with expensive gear sometimes is that we generate a preconc... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo As I wrote in December 2003:Peter Frampton playing that excellent solo at the end of "Apron Strings" from John Entwistle's 70s' album Whistle Rhymes.I still vote for this one, so melodic and fitting to the tune. | |
| Krell FPB 600 or 400cx? And the only reason it didn't quite double into 4 Ohms was because the line voltage began to sag. | |
