| does cartridge output level affect surface noise? it would be the same.. with a higher output cartridge you would turn down the volume control, but all that the cartridge is picking up would be louder...including the music, the pops and the clicks.

| Twisting Anti-Cables By the way - a full twist is using 360 degrees on each twist...1/2 twist is 180 degrees at each twist. | |
| Twisting Anti-Cables I twisted my Anti-Cables, listened, and then untwisted them. When twisted, the soundstage width and depth shrunk, and the lows were a bit sloppy. The differences are not major, but in my system, it was quite clear that the separate cables were the... | |
| 5 Years or More? I have Vandersteen 5A's. One of the great selling points of this speaker (and perhaps others in the Vandersteen line) is that when an improvement comes along, Vandersteen will install the update to the speaker. Yes, I know that sometimes to do tha... | |

| VPI balanced junction box installation So glad that the Anti-Cables are working for you. Regarding the static charge. I have not noticed any increase in static charge either here in Arizona or when I was living and listening in New Jersey where the humidity is quite high. I dont have a... | |

| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 I do believe that the SME also has damping in the arm tube itself..as do others. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 With the SME V, the Ebony sounded closed in and lifeless compared to either VPI's. Of course, I tried various VTA settings, dampings, etc. If you have nothing to compare it to, the SME sounded fine...only in comparison to the VPI's were the proble... | |
