| Is my stylus damaged ? I suspect MOFI is correct. If it still slides to the center, make sure nothing mechanical is causing it, then new stylus. | |
| Old Sota Turntable Questions Make sure your arm isn't too heavy for the suspension..and if the springs have been upgraded. | |
| Turntable recommendation for under 6k Just get anything with VPI written on it...can't go wrong. | |
| Power cable "Break in" question Don't worry at all. When you get your new equipment, plug in the new power cord with the new equipment, and in a month or so, both the cord and the new equipment will have broken in. Actually, its quite interesting to hear how the sound changes. D... | |
| MC cartridges new vs. old New is always better. | |
| TT cables, Need help Shielded cables are good if and only if you need them. Shields tend to make cables sound closed in - less open..less good. | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? I used to manufacture my own cables and quickly realized that solder was no good...I crimped all my cables | |
| giant killer xlr's ..by the way....I don't think Wireworld is stranded. ..may be a series of solid metal runs placed side by side. By the way #2....Anti-Cable is solid as well. | |
| giant killer xlr's I didn't find grain in Wireworld.. Look elsewhere for the grain. | |
| Is the at 150mlx a bad match on the jmw9 tonearm Wilson...it looks like they have changed the arm since you got your table...the new ones can be damped...they come with a bottle of damping fluid. Also...I know this is an anathema, but try no anti-skate. Makes the cartridge sound better to my ears. | |
| giant killer xlr's Wireworld is my favorites. AntiCable comes very close... There is a sense of ease with the Wireworld that Anti's don't have, however, if you don't compare, Anti's are very good. | |
| Is the at 150mlx a bad match on the jmw9 tonearm What doesn't look right to me is flexistand? Don't know what that is, but VPI's don't like flex. You're right with the other stuff...a solid connection to Earth. I would take it off the flex stand and see what happens.. Also damping may cure this.... | |
| Speaker Cables for Revel Studio Ultima. If the speakers are designed for bi-wire...do it. Wireworld cables. | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? In my experience, the more money you spend, the better the results....given well respected name brands. As you get to the top of the heap, your money buys ever smaller increases in performance. | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues I had 800's ...don't play them loud....tweeters kept failing. Got rid of them |
