| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Dragon....I use ClearDay double shotgun with my all Ayre/Vandersteen system and have found them spectacularly good. I've tried many cables but none are as truthful in my system as the ClearDays. Only the very expensive top of the line Wireworld ... | |
| Tapping on my table If footfalls bounce the arm around (impossible except for a nuclear attack or similar... with a concrete floor) you're fine for that frequency. You're hearing things from your cabinet, because of the higher frequency. My table is also on concret... | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Correct azimuth adjustment (via Foz) give jaw dropping results as to the mirror (or similar) method. Rock stable imaging, wide soundstage, etc. | |
| Dan D'agostino classic stereo amp + Dartzeel NHB-18NS Dan D's "factory" (2 small store fronts) are about 1/2 mile from my house. The door's always open for a 3 min. tour. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Griffithds.....its quite a recommendation to hear the ART9 the equal of the Benz LPS. The only cartridges I like better than the LPS are the Lyra Etna and Atlas. Even the Anna doesn't do it for me the way the 2 Lyras perform. | |

| Kimber Monocle X ..depends on the deal you got.... I think they're quite good, but like Wireworld top of the line better. | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise The best connectors are Furotech...I use their top the line carbon with Neotech cable and find it better than any cable company's power cord. | |
| Cardas Phono Cartridge Its a modified Benz cartridge....send it to Soundsmith. | |
| David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions If money is an issue, look for a used Ayre K1xe. I know its not tubes, but it is a great unit. | |
| Accidentally dropped Benz cartridge on moving acrylic platter for my VPI Scout no chance.... like others have said....when playing a record, if you hear nothing untoward, you're good to go. | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. When I had listened to Class A Stereophile stuff, many times I was disappointed. The qualities that I like may not be the same as what a reviewer might like. Might have been the ancillary equipment...cables, room, etc... who knows. ....and too w... |
