| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... ..so what's the problem,? If the cable is under or over the floor, I see no difference. I presume the cable will not be near any a/c wiring, etc. | |
| Review Purist Audio Design Limited Edition Part2 All cables sound different depending on what they are connecting. Purist makes some good cables ....(you need a fat wallet for the really good ones)....there is never an end. You (I) can always find better. I had Purist and moved on. | |

| Smoothest and best sounding turntable/cartridge combo up to $1600?? SonnyJ....when you speak of nuances, ...that means money. If you like the Ortofon Red, you'll REALLY like the Ortofon Black...more nuances. If you're getting rid of the Thorens because of footfalls, etc. put it on a very light shelf...or even... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 2: need help troubleshooting standy noise When I had trouble with my Rowland, they immediately knew what was wrong....it seems all the important circuitry is on completely encapsolated squares looking very much like a USB storage device with gold pins at the bottom. They sent me the appr... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Don c55 You're absolutely wrong on every count. If you don't know what you're talking about, why post an influential diatribe which just might affect the mindset of those unsure of the issue. | |
| Parasound JC3+ or Audio Research PH6 I'm using the Ayre phono pre with the LPS....no complaints | |
