Cardas Golden Cross no longer offered by Cardas ?
Theo....right you are.... I have Ayre too....I tried every Cardas they make because Ayre insists that they have had excellent results with Cardas. I found that Cardas is the very worst cable for MY equipment than any other. I have the top of the l...

I have a Superscoutmaster/rim drive. I use bear paws (they are big and heavy brass cones), under the turntable to prevent any movement to the table....however, I have the sponge (soft) feet under the motor, so that the slightest out-of-roundness i... 
Interconnects Roller Coaster Ride
KiSAWYER.....are you near an airport/military base??.... I had a similar problem that I traced to radar interference....... I moved, you probably can't. 
Parallel? How do you set the VTA?
..another way is to take a lined index card, fold it in half like a tent with the blue lines horizontal.... This tent can be propped up against a straight arm like the VPI and if you site it properly, you can get an idea where horizontal is. The V... 
which jumpers for Vandersteen 2 Ce's??

DAC Impressions
Excuse the question - I know nothing about digital......but I assume when you download an album into the computer, you need a USB converter from the computer to change the connection from USB 1 or 2 (I have a Mac laptop) to 12S (don't know what 12... 
Where to go from here
Are the Morrow's still new? ...breaking in? 
AntiCables
...this is a continuation of my report regarding the Anti-Cables that I had reterminated with Xshadow connections and with their shotgun bi-wire speaker cables..... Right out of the box..brand new...they are absolutely stupendous. As they are goin...
