| Arm suggestions for my Basis 1400 Decided to get a new cartridge for my Basis Table. Just got a Micro Benz Glider 2 installed on the RB300 arm. This cartridge makes all the difference in the world. It is still breaking in though. I also aquired some Cardas XLR-RCA adapters (MUCH b... | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? We in California get our electricity from hamster power, and it is very expensive. :-)Turn the Class A stuff off... It's not like we need heaters ;-)KF | |
| Seeking opinions an Acurus ACT-3 w/ & w/o ABM The Act 3's that are being dumped on the market are good deals. If the price differential is not too much ($100 or so), I'd go with one that has the ABM. If it is higher, it may not be worth it.KF | |

| Buying from other countries? Make sure they have plenty feedback. Maybe see if you can get email addresses/phone numbers of references. KF | |
| Best Power Conditioner? PS Audio is the only one that actually reconstitutes the AC Wave and cycles. It draws a lot of current and costs quite a bit, but of the above, I would choose it first.KF | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century It would be interesting to see what device this is. If it is a knob (analogue knob), it should be a potentiometer of sorts. If it were say a stepped knob, it could be a path of resistors. Anyway, you might want to ask Mick and see what he has to s... | |
