Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Suteetat, I just learned that the plastic boxes of the Universal Interconnect Cells are intended to dangle off the shelf. where your preamp is. I had managed to keep them on the shelf, using a heavy Walker weight. I introduced my preamp to amp set... 
If money were no object, what would be in your rig
Were money no object, I would immediately buy the Tidal Presencio and Impact Monoblocs. I would not change any source (Bergman SIndre with Ortofon A-90 and Mac server with Weiss Minerva), cabling (all Synergistic Research) or isolation (mainly Sti... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Tidal Contriva Discera SEs, I had concluded that every speaker was a compromise in one way or another, until I got these. And they are well short of the 600 hours of breakin.My main question now is finding an amp to get the most out of them. 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Wow, lots of tubes! I hate you as you are so organized. I agree with you entirely about the Ortofon A90. I still want to try the Decca Reference, however. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I had a shocking experience today. I got a new SR T2 power cord for my new turntable. Of course it is charged and I had only one outlet available into which I plugged the T2 itself. I had a double lead MPC included and figured that I would remove ... 
Tidal electronics...
Karelfd, thanks for your informative post. I would dearly love to hear Tidal electronics on the Contrivas, but this looks improbable here in the US. I even thought to come to the Munich Show, but really seldom can generalize from what I hear at sh...

Geopolitis, have you ever tried the Lindemann amp? 
Tidal electronics...
There has been much discussion of the Sovereign, Tidal, and other electronics here. Now that I have my Contrivas at least initially broken in, I am beginning to wonder if the 100 watt H-Cat amp that I have may become congressed in loud passages.Th... 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
I think it is a matter of access to the machine. I was told 500 but this may be wrong. I am very happy to have one. 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Apparently, Ortofon is going to have to stick with the maximum of 500 A90s. It is some limitation in the manufacturing process. 
Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System
Madfloyd, what are your issues. My review sample did stop rotating the records, but I was told they had cured that with a better glue. 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Mike, I had a Shindo Labs tt which entails adopting everything-tone arm and cartridge.As I said, I really don't know if it is the cartridge entirely. 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
I now have the Ortofon A90 mounted on my new Bergman Sindre turntable. I have it tracking at 2.3 grams. I am using my H-Cat phono stage with a 100 ohm load. I don't know how much of what I am hearing to attribute purely to the A90, but the sound i... 
SR Tesla Apex- How Stiff?
Rodman99999, I have both Accelerators and Apex and agree with Hasse. My Accelerators are not against a wall but extend about 7" back before heading sideways. The Apexs take at least 8". This stiffness is a result of the construction used. 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Rick, thanks for the information. I'm going to look into getting it.
