| Phono cartridge Goldilocks I agree completely regarding the Benz. ...a great cartridge...too bad they aren’t made any more. ..a cautionary note. They are very heavy and might very well benefit from a heavier counterweight for the arm. | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it Buy from a reliable, customer valued manufacturer, which has stood the test time. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Cables do make a difference, but different cable (even from the same manufacturer) sound differently when attached to its components. I used to use Audioquest Everst/Sky which I decided sounded best with my stuff. I tried some of the Wm F Lowe S... | |
| Adcom a weak link? Why do you want to move away from Adcom? Is there something that you don't like about it, or are you simply influenced by what others have to say? I have a very elaborate/expensive system, but sometimes just listening to my Denon receiver can be... | |
| XLR-Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable adg....I second ClearDay (They're silver, but don't let that scare you) Clear Day will send you a pair for evaluation no charge. Canare is not in the same league. | |
| Turntable hum Did you actually pull the plug out of the wall on the tv? TV's are "on" even though you turned it off. | |

| Speaker cables for paradigm studios Check out ClearDay cables. Paul will send you an audition pair so you'll be sure of your purchase. I compared them to top Audioquest (which I like)...but bought ClearDay. | |
| Anti skating on Michell Tecnodec - Yes No Maybe ? Raymonda....I suggest suspending your car from a hot air balloon to save wear on your tires and suspension. | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I remember the DQ-10's fondly. I believe what made their sound so much better was that they were time aligned. | |
| Cary SLM-100 amplifîer upgrade question ...not a Cary fan......nor a Vincent one. I agree with sbank (above). Don't make a move until you can do it with a high degree of success. I've been chasing "The Absolute Sound" and have spent way too much for many years. | |
| Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua another cartridge option is the Ortofon Winfield....a lot of cartridge for about 3000 dollars. Talk to Harry about it.... | |
| Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua That's right..... The top cartridges are clearly steps up.... You should be thinking Lyra Atlas, Etna, Ortofon Anna, et al. (I would suppose the rest of your stuff is up to it as well) | |
| Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua Why in the world would you put a "price point" cartridge on an Avenger with the 3D arm. You're wasting the performance level. If you haven't the funds now...start saving and do it right. |
