Speaker break in period Mbhcid is right! New parts are stiff and must perform at a fast continuous rates of vibration. Just a new shirt is more comfortable after a few washings. The compliance of a speaker must be flexable and present no resitance to the cones excursion.... | |
Cartridge for a Rega P2 go with a Rega cartridge for value. | |
interconnect vs speaker cable Start with the interconnect. The signal path starts there.Buy the most expensive cable you can afford, after a lengthy trial period of sampleing different brands and levels of those brands. I love Cardas, but not all their cables deliver the same ... | |
Is High End Cable Really Worth It and What Brand Good advice from JD, but I must add YES they do make a difference. I have gone from Monster to Tara to Audio Quest to Audio Majic and now Cardas.

Best Amp For Infinity Kappa 8.1 Speakers As longtime owner of Kappa sevens I recently purchased a McIntosh MC352 and these speakers came alive. Kappas love power! Look at Bryston, McCormack, Sherbourne in the 300 @ 8 ohm range or don't waste your time the Kappas need the power to fully r... | |

Which From my recent conversion to the Golden Reference, I can strongly suggest the GR's over the Nuetral ref's. I did an A/B in home comparision and thought the NR's were very accurate and precise, the GR's were all that and added a much better sound s... | |

Why would my CD player start skipping? Try taking a can of compressed air and dusting of the lensit just may be dirty | |
Turntable Set Up Questions again? Here is my opinion based on years of experience with vinyl, in response to your questions1. I say stay with the maximum tracking force and do not exceed it at all. the designer of that cartridge is telling you that the 1.5g is where the sensativit... | |
Copper v. Silver It all comes down to your ear. Listen to a good silver cable then switch to a good copper, the a hybrid copper silver.I recently replaced my AudioMagic Excallibur II's ( a silvercable) and wnet to the Cardas Golden Reference. Big difference in det... | |
