| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? I agree with your post and would like to add that I have been told to look for cables that exhibit low capacitance and inductance. I believe that the capacitance issue is more critical with interconnects because of the low signal levels at this st... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Hello.Your misinformed post caught my interest. I have relisted it below." guess gravity did not exist till Newton discovered, and North America was not a part of the world till Columbus stumbled across it too!People like Bomarc who claim to have ... | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? I am sure that others will offer reasons that I will not have covered, but these are very good starters. 1. The original cable you were using prior to the switch was very poorly constructed and/or of a very high gauge wire for power supply use. 2.... | |
| Need opinion on Audioquest Anacondas. Are you located in the Northern VA area? What equipment are you using them with? | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? I was surprised when I sampled a few of the responses as to how may people disagreed with the information presented on this website.

| How do you clean your records? Get the disc doctor cleaning system and DON'T USE WINDEX! Don't waste your money on a vacuum cleaning system. Goto Home Depot and pick up a small $30.00 wet/dry vac. Get some of those large round cotton face pads women use to remove make up and ta... | |

| What about the Teres Turntable? I am not trying to talk you out of this turntable, but if you are looking to compete in "best sounding" category, then I tend to agree with Jean. I think you will have to go with the wood shot filled base and a nice arm. That will raise the price ... | |
| Raining on My Parade... I believe you are on the right track. The problem is definitely with the Phono stage. Since you verified all your connections and the popping stops when the preamp is muted, I would lean towards a defective component in your phono stage. This is w... | |

| analog gurus, please help, cartridge too light? Dear Curtis,Your cartridge is a poor match for your tonearm. I do not recommend this cartridge as you have a very respectable tonearm and turntable that will not be able to realize its full potential. There is nothing wrong with your choice of car... | |
| Am I assuming too Much? TWL,Thanks so much for offering your asssistance. I am leaning towards Michell turntables at this time. I want to set one up, but funds have been delaying this. I figure that I will get the Denon table back up and slowly make the transition to a M... | |
| Am I assuming too Much? Artemus 5,I don't agree with your assumption. I don't really believe, at least from my experiences, that you can get the LP to sound better than CD's without investing a substantial amount of money in a good LP playback system. However, your respo... | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... Walter,We are going through the same thing and at about the same time I might add. I am searching and researching my options to get into analog and am running into the issue of what direction to go in. Assuming that you have not already committed ... |
