Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Samuel, I suspect that most any manufacturer could or would claim that their cable risers were developed "from sound theory." I guess sound here has two meanings-well based and sounding good. I assume you mean the former. If so, what is that theor... 
Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare
GP49, wow, you take me back many years. Do you still have a working Keith Monks arm? And a working Rabco! 
Power Receptacles - Review and Comparison
Kenk, I have only used the SR Teslaplex with the PowerCell, but I get none of the harshness or confused imaging you mention. I know it is not a matter of breakin so I suspect your balanced power conditioner and the Teslaplex just don't like each o... 
Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Unfortunately, our conventional electrical understanding doesn't allow an answer to your question. If you try raising your cables and using different materials, you will hear differences. There are multiple components to these differences. Vibrati... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
You said, "... replace it with something better suited to listening to MP3 streams."

Drubin, you put the music on the server in MP-3!!!!!! 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
It was to see if anyone had heard the Tempo, which has long been discussed on their webpage. I was beginning to think if did not exist. It presumably does. 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
Tvad, I never said that I would not review other preamps. You assumed that it was because I was dissatisfied.I expect the top Exemplar line stage very soon. 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
I have heard from Tempo Electric. They have two review units out, and I will be on their list. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Shellie, I bought the ARTs at the RMAF on hearing their demonstration. I find your question curious and don't exactly know what you mean by "still retaining benefits." However I do have experience in installing them in my room. As I added each com... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Psacanli, do you know of any good cheaters? I have made them out of two pin wall plugs from Eagle with a three pin female and silver wire. They were better, but could not compare with going into the wall plug part of power cables and lifting the g... 
Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes
I only ship by FedEx Ground. I never ship anything by UPS. The "shock" in their system almost got them prohibited in the EU. FedEx air is a real toss up. Even well packed and light things usually have dented boxes.I have had two claims out of more... 
Shorting Plugs and Non-shorting Plugs - Wothwhile?
First, just go to RS and buy shorting plugs if you want to try them. IMO, they will do nothing, however. What I would do. Disconnect all sources going into the preamp. If the hum is gone, it is one of them. If it remains, it is the preamp or the a... 
Tube Sources for Exemplar 3910?
Jfz, I talked with John. He somewhat prefers the 6829 but says the 7062 give better detail and bass. The 5965s are at the bottom of the heap. 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
Tvad,you always presume something and wrongly. I have none coming as they have not even responded to my inquiry. I do wonder if it is vaporware, as no one seems to even have heard of it.
