| Thoughts on potential new system? I just got a Denon AVR X3100W...a new model. It does everything except shine shoes. ....and all of it very well. Highly recommended | |
| Hegel or Ayre My system is all Ayre, and aside from the very occasional update, has been perfect for years. | |
| What is the benefit of balanced xlr cables I had Wel Signature XLR's in my system (All Ayre), and have never been so disappointed...only Cardas cables were worse. This underscores that in MY experience you have to audition cables in YOUR system to hear if they touch your soul. Every cable ... | |
| What is the benefit of balanced xlr cables .... because a component has XLR connections is no guarantee of balanced operation. | |
| Oppo 103 HDMI Cable I use Wireworld HDMI cable.....it's astoundingly better than any that I tried in my 5.1 system. Picture/sound are glorious. | |
| New SDS settings Adjust it to the VPI spec as explained and don't second guess. | |

| cartridge recommendations Elinor...my experience with a Gingko platform with my VPI is that it absolutely ruined the sound. VPIs have to be solidly grounded to the center of the earth for best performance. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Porsche and Mini Cooper | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along TBG....that is absolutely the wrong way to correct for a/s adjustment | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others I have found that Maestro sockets are the best for my system.....just plain better, not colored, like others, just plain better. I had Porter Ports....these trounce them. | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along Pani...if it sounds fuzzy add just a we bit more downward force. | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along After experimenting with and w/o anti skate, I've determined that it sounds better with none...a rightness to the sound...solidity, etc. I've posted on these pages for years about this. | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help ..sounds like you need a Benz cartridge in there....and absolutely....set any cart up correctly |
