| Outstanding service in high-end audio: Anecdotes, please. I'll start with Klaus and Duane Nick Doshi fixed my Lectron amplifier for free. I was going to pay for the repair but since it took longer than expected, he did not charge me. He had modified the amp several years ago. I was at least the third owner since the modification. He... | |

| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I have had my SC-2 for two months and really like the click and pop remover. It has brought new life to some of my Goodwill finds. I do not hear any attenuation of high notes which apparently was a problem with older click and pop removers. Se... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Thanks bondmanp for reviving your thread, Fremer reviewed the SC-1. The SC-1 as you know only does click and pop removal, no recording. He concluded: "I think many will react as I did and come to see this is an indispensible addition to their vin... | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE I bought a used BP DAC SE 5 weeks ago. The previous owner said he put 50 hours on it. It made a good initial impression on me, with excellent 3-D presence and a full bodied sound. The bass is weighty, just right to my ears. As I put more hours on... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I think this guy gets it right:"[Nature] ... never says "Yes" to a theory. In the most favorable cases it says "Maybe," and in the great majority of cases simply "No." If an experiment agrees with a theory it means for the latter "Maybe," and if... | |

| I have joined in the ZYX Family According to SORAsound, MC's going through step up transformers are sensitive to loading:"Some general comments, pertaining to more than ZYX phono cartridges obviously. Assuming you’re not using stepup transformers, the optimum impedance for a L... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Atmasphere -Thank you! It's making more sense to me now. | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Chakster -I’m just curious as to why you said loading does not make a difference with the 4D, and with low ouput MC cartridges with low internal impedance in general. I have not read that before, but that is just a reflection that I admit I do not... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Chakster:According to the specifications provided by ZYX, they recommend a load impedance of greater than 100 ohms. Why would ZYX make the recommendation, if in fact as you say the 4D is not sensitive to loading? Hoping you can provide more insigh... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Glad you are still enjoying it! My experience with loading my 4D is similar to yours. I set my Allnic H-3000 at 117 ohms, with 66db of gain, which sounded best to my ears on that particular phono stage. I tried the H-3000 at 278 ohms, but one can ... |
