BI WIRE EXPERIENCE DARK SIDE
To glean the greatest benefit from bi-wiring, the speakers's crossover should be designed for it....if not, using a double run of speaker cable will still give you positive results...this is called Shotgun. For the best wire to use, shy away from ... 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
Music/score from the picture Under Fire, the Nick Nolte flick. Pat Methany on guitar....great stuff. The vinyl is still available (about 6 dollars or so) 
Basis Vector cartridge recommendations
Cadenza Black too revealing??? That's what we audiophiles pay for. I'm using an Orofon Windfield which is a bumped up black....I like it. I came from a Benz LPS. The differences aren't that great...LPS a bit more lush, Windfield more open. If I he... 
Ring Clamps. What do you think?
The point you're missing is that a record SHOULDN"T breathe at all. It is not a musical instrument. It wiggles the stylus which make electric signals that are amplified, and brought to your room via the speakers. The stylus should only react to th... 
BI WIRE EXPERIENCE DARK SIDE
I agree...only bi-wire with the same wire. 
High End cartridges and the built quality
I had to exchange an Ortofon Windfield because the cartridge was wired wrong internally (left to right, v/v) and if that was the case, what else could I expect. Back it went and am now happy with my new one. 
Isolation platform - Gingko vs Mapleshade
The Gingko absolutely ruined the sound of my VPI....took it off the platform and quickly sold it. 
the most underrated 33 1/3 in history?
Klatuu was on Absolute Sound or Stereophile Records to die for 
Matching Speakers to Components
Wrong way around...you match components to speakers 
Fozgometer
I thought I'd enter another installment in my saga. The Foz is back, and I set up the azimuth for my new cartridge. From the beginning, I didn't think much of the new Ortofon Windfield. I came from a Benz LPS and the Windfield was not even in the ... 
Anti-Cable Level 3 spker cable: Improved or same?
I have or have had mostly all of the Anti-Cables and their iterations. The highest level speaker cable is really a shotgunned pair of their lesser denoted cable. The very latest interconnect is a silver covered copper, which sounds slightly less b... 
Dynavector XX-2 MK2 vs Shelter 901 MK2
Did you bring this to the attention of MIKE in service? I would trust him 
Triplanar vii - upgrade tonearm and ic wiring
Sal....I would call Musical Surroundings directly and get the trade for your LP to the LPS. They tell me they still have them. 
Dynavector XX-2 MK2 vs Shelter 901 MK2
It sounds like your cartridge is new. Let it live for a month or 2 before tossing it. Remember that any adjustment on your arm will affect all the other adjustments ....they have to be rechecked and modified. Your description sounds like an adjust... 
Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please
OOPS you probably mean the wire to rewire the arm?? If you use regular RCA or XLR interconnects the Anti-Cable recommendation still follows.
