| 3 speaker cable options - what to choose? Schubert...I don't know if you know that Anti's are different than they were a few years ago. There are now various grades and the copper itself is now pure and aligned...not magnet wire.Also, I have to disagree with you on the top KIA which is be... | |
| XLR or RCA? There is a minor benefit in using XLR even though the component is not internally balanced....the big benefit is when one does it right. | |
| vibrapods -- which component? In case anyone is wondering....Bearpaws (available on the internet) are very large, very heavy, excellently made brass (I think) cones that screw into VPI's as a direct replacement to those mini feet. The upgraded performance is very easy to hear.... | |
| Passive Preamp Recommendations? ..whatever the reasons, I tried them a few times, and they were all way less good than my active preamp. | |
| MM Cartridge For VPI Scout, Help Please I would get in touch with VPI ...tell them what how your Denon isn't performing to your satisfaction....they are very customer oriented/helpful. | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Porsche | |
| New to headphone amps --- I'm wondering ..... There is little discussion needed...get a dedicated amp for your headphones | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." I don't know where all the "experts" get all their information. The Denon is ok but nothing more...the conical stylus is quick to deteriorate. Worth the money, but to talk of the Denon and the Ortofon Blue in the same breath is evidence of the lac... |
