Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Halcro, I love your Victor. I have sought one for years. 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Dkarmeli, EMT still exists; why don't they make a new model? I have had 300B amps and sought and bought even 1950's WEs. There is no question that they are better than the 1960s or '70s WE 300Bs. The '88s are junk. Why is this so? I think because ... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
There must be some reason why it is not made anymore and why no one has exactly copied it. I have never heard one and only ever seen one, but it just looks too much like a DJ turntable, which of course it was. 
Best Integrated, period.
I was wrong about the efficiency of the LSA1 Statements. It is not 93 db but 88 db.Styxtrekr and others, presently only telephoning John Tucker or emailing can get you much information. A new and fully upgraded webpage will be released later this ... 
Best Integrated, period.
Styxtrekr, That is a good question. Go to exemplaraudio.com It is in the Exception series and will soon be shown. You can email or telephone him now. 
Best Integrated, period.
I used to think the Exemplar/LSA Statement amp was the best integrated but now the Exemplar Audio Exception Integrated is the best I have ever heard. And it weights only 23 pound for 50 watts per side versus the Statement's 85 pounds for 200 watts... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Andrew, I only tried this with the CT-1 Es. Speaker wire without doubt. Next preamp to amp. A digital cable is next. Finally, on source to preamp, I give a slight edge thus far to digital.

Geoffkait, yes how it sounds in trial and error tests is all that guides their use. In my interviews with the AR folks their sound is all that mattered. 
Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show?
This my first Newport show. Several things are memorable. One can walk from the airport to the hotel. The live music shows were great. The music was poor. About the only really good sounding room in my opinion was the room with the Coffman G1A ful...

Jade is chemically defined and is typically Oriental. Quartz is typically European. Yes, I have used and continue to use AR QR-8 quartz but usually Zilplexes are much more effective.

Branislav, yes. Only the speaker wires.

Geoffkait, as a scientist, I'm always seeking a theory that would suggest where something might work best. With jade quartz I have largely given up. Isolation devices, however, cannot be ignored. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Calloway, just when my CT-1U speaker cables had reached a point where I was hearing subtleties heretofore unheard, I got the CT-1UR speaker cables in. They had been burned in and sounded great for the first two hours. Then they went down hill for ...

Geoffkait, yes trial and error is about the only way to proceed. I might add that things change. I used to find the cable Chips worked but with new cables this is no longer true. This is much like pieces of jade. In some places the have great bene...

Glory, what is going on with you? All this negativity.
