Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations What I find interesting is your Nordost/Cardas cables. They are the antithesis of each other. I just wonder what sound comes out | |
New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? If the speakers are not on carpet, get 2 small rugs and position them right in front of the speaker to soften the 1st arrival time. (johnnyR from AudioConnection in NJ told me about this and it works) | |
Pioneer 150's With all the choices available, why would you aimlessly search for these? | |
Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 John Rutan at Audioconnection in New Jersey sells both, is very easy to talk to, and is extremely knowledgeable. Even if you don't live in NJ, give him a call for wonderful advice. You won't be sorry. | |
RCA Caps I use the Cardas on my Ayre.....absolutely no difference. I suppose if you need them you do...... | |

the table or the arm first? What's first....steering wheel or brakes? | |
Help Identifying Koetsu Onyx I'd be wary. (don't know how much you paid) For this kind of money you want it right. | |
Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? I use balanced headphones .....balanced from the preamp through the balanced amp and then balanced to headphones. The sound is quite wonderful...and recommended. Your question is of less noise and increased clarity with balanced configuration. | |
VPI 2nd pivot point set up question Don't over-think this. Mount the 2nd pivot behind the left weight of the arm....follow my directions and enjoy. | |
Audio cables ,and power cords the most forgotton- part of an Audio system. cables are a real crap shoot. any cable might work in one system, and be deleterious in another. You need to experiment to find out which kind work best for you. |
