| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Douglas_Schroeder....I am a trained violinist and have played and recorded with the best orchestras of the world. I hear real music in real time almost every day. I can tell you when I sit on stage the sound is very much different than when I sit ... | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Douglas-Schroeder Your point on Anti-Cable does not hold true in my system. I have chosen anti-Cables after an intensive search for the best cable for my system...money was not a consideration. I experimented with Cardas, Wireworld, Purist, Audioq... | |
| Anti-skate I don't use anti-skate at all. Those who do use it set it at the same or near the VTF you are using. I find it does nothing to better my setup. The purpose of anti-skate is to balance the inward force of the tonearm which comes from the cartridge'... | |
| best biwire speaker cables for under $300?? Isn't it amazing how system sensitive cables are...on my bi-wire Vandersteen 5A's the Anti-Cables are not rolled off at all. I also found that twisting them decreases sound stage width and air...but try... | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe Hey Johnny53... Next time get off of the orchestra level. The sound bounces off of the floor and is adversly affected. In addition, you will see only the front of the orchestra and not "into" the orchestra. You will not see what the reeds, brass, ... | |
| best biwire speaker cables for under $300?? I am using Anti-Cables on my Vandersteen 5A's with great success. You really should try them...money back guarantee. Check it out | |
| What would I get out of damping fluid? Actually, I found the difference - with or without damping fluid - quite profound. I have a VPI 10.5i with a Benz Ebony LP, and that combination "likes" a bit of damping. The results are more air, depth..all the good stuff. If I use too much, all ... | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe Unless you have perfect pitch, this is a non issue. As long as the speed is close, the result is fine. The KAB strobe is as good as any other. | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment ..and if you want the best power cords, make them from Oyaide C-046, P-046, and Accrolink P-4030. Your jaw will drop. | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment Everyone you ask about the efficacy of Cardas/Ayre cables with Ayre electronics will tell you that they were designed for each other. I am here to tell you that if you use Ayre components, (I have Ayre V1xe, K1xe, and C5xe), there are far better a... | |
| Interconnect/Speaker cables As I have suggested in other posts, I use Anti-Cables with great success. They have a money back guarantee...its worth the effort to try. | |
| Power cord on audio innovations l2 pre amp The better the system, the greater the results. It would be interesting to try a borrowed power cord to hear if the results are cost worthy. | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment I have an all Ayre system, and have tried many, many cables...all balance, because balanced is the ONLY way any Ayre component can do its work the best. Oddly, the worst cables are the Ayre and Cardas designs, the best being the Audioquest Sky ser... | |
| Rollerblocks under turntable ? If it works for you, go for it. I manufactured a resonance control device called PonTunes that allow side motion and find them very helpful under the amp, preamp, CD player, power supplies, etc. | |
| The lid closed ? Those plastic lids resonate which is picked by your cartridge. I agree...get rid of it during playback, and keep it in position during rest periods. |
