| Before I upgrade my cart from Dyna 20xl to an XX2 Forget any other protractor but the MINT. Do it yourself...that's the only way it will be done correctly. Take your time...the process is tedious, and you will get tired. Put it away, have a drink and watch TV. Come back to it tomorrow. If you do ... | |
| Power conditioning I've tried LOTS of them, and although they changed the sound, none of them changed it for the better on my system. Audition them in YOUR system for a few days, remove it and listen again without it and then determine its worth. | |
| I Need Help Picking a Sub Depending on your budget, check out the Vandersteen or Outlaw Audio units. | |

| Cardas ICs are too warm for Tube amp Try Anti-Cables...way cheaper and way better | |
| inexpensive preamp for Ayre V3 with Green Mountain You really want an Ayre preamp. Don't go to a lesser unit..wait until your budget permits. | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Krell Lat-1's ..just a suggestion for Vandy 5A owners. I have switched out the stock power cords for Accrolink/Oyeida 046 cords. The increase in open-ness, and definition throughout the frequency spectrum (yes, the mids and highs too) can not be believed. The I... | |
