| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III Djst, the HP replaced a PL Prologue 2, which was troublefree. I'm envious you have the Olympias. Being a SF admirer, if funds allowed, I would have a pair of Ellipsa's fronting my rig. I do have the Italian thing going on with the nice veneer/leat... | |
| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III I have the PL HP AND use Nordost Blue Heaven cables. Recently, I've switched to another "budget" level $600 cable-Silnote.

| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Month old ART 9 here.I replaced an OC 9III, which replaced a couple of 1K carts.The OC9III was a good enough compromise especially for half the price.Unfortunately, the shortcomings eventually wore me down, and I bit the bullet and opened my walle... | |

| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? "Another concern is that I have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated Amp and was wondering how another tube phono stage would sound with the tube phono stage? Is it better to Mix solid state phono stage with a Tube Amp or keep it all the sam... | |
| Which phono preamps among these three? I see someone went off topic and gave you another suggestion, so I won't feel guilty.Referencing the Manley price point, if you see one listed-Fosgate v.2. Get one for a deal(under 2k)and do an extravagant NOS tube splurge if you don't feel the st... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Pani,Your time with the ART9 is encouraging. I am have been eliminating other contenders from my buy list and saving at least $700+ going with the ART9. The ART9 just may be the cart that stays mounted on the VPI for more than a year. Guess I will... | |

| Does the MAPLESHADE STATIC DRAINING BRUSH work? I'm a believer in some of the Mapleshade philosophy. The slabs and brass footers are under most of my gear-table,CD,speakers and sub.I tried the brush and and NO results other than bristles from the brush getting picked up by the cart.Their custom... | |
