| Possible Upgrade Advice The Valhalla wiring would be a step backwards....sure it sounds more extended in the highs (bright??) but is not nearly as musical as the Discovery. | |
| best match power amp for Acoustic Research AR 3 AR's have excellent low end response, however their highs are limited. I suggest Janzen electrostatic tweeter.....NOW YOU"RE TALKIN". This very combination was used by Joe Grado as his state of the art system for evaluating his cartridges, etc. Re... | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus My car keeps track of the oil...I don't know if its mileage, time, or if it really analyzes the oil...anyway, a large indicator lights up that says...change oil. It came on about a year after I got the car at my mileage of a bit less then 10,000. | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus Mr. Clean Magic Eraser....nothing better. | |
| AudioQuest SKY revisit Luna....Sky is MY favorites.....interesting that the Signature cable is not nearly as good. | |
| RCA to XLR adapter vs buy a balanced cable No such thing as a good adapter...get the real deal | |

| Gallo 3.5 or Martin Logan Ethos? Macallan 7 (did you ever have the 50 yr old?) anyway....I never liked Martin Logans... I knew the guys there who are very nice, but I would choose Gallos. | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice why would you want to color your system with cables? I look to the least influence a cable provides. | |
| Graham Elite Have you heard the VPI 3D? | |
| VPI PARTS or SERVICE ...I recommend patience. VPI will respond - they are very customer minded. | |
| Dumb VTA Question In reality, everything affects everything. You aren't done when you change the height of the arm..you must recheck how the raising/lowering affects the downward pressure. Once that is adjusted, you must make sure the stylus still sits in the absol... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas In MY experience, cables sound different attached to different components. MIT just might be better with a certain amp, and maybe not...the only way to tell is to try it in the system and listen. I have an all Ayre system and bought Ayre cables. A... |
