Omega Micro cables
Hi Emil, I'd suggest you consider the Foilflex copper foil interconnects by Mike Lenehan. Excellent sonics, flexible and NOT fragile. Harvey  
Tonian Trio, Hang Around
I also bought Tony's new CD -- I agree with everyone's praise of the sound quality -- natural, realistic recording of acoustic instruments.  The interplay between the musicians is great -- hard to believe this was improvised and not composed music... 
ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?
Thank you for sharing your first impressions. 
Low level hum only with lp playback
HI,I had VERY similar problem, 120 Hz predominant noise + ONLY when record playing.  Turned out to be mechanically induced -- by vibration from the motor pod (physically separate) transmitted by the underlying shelf to the turntable/tonearm.  Bani... 
Distortion mystery -- MC cart mistracking? / transformer / head amp input saturation??
Hi,While I have no experience with the VPI tonearm, I've owned a ZYX Airy 3 (.24 mV output) and used  both with a Moerch DP-6 (13 g armwand) and with a Siggwan tonearm.  While it benefits from a little bit of antiskating force, the amount is close... 
ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?
Hi Lew,This is from the Sound-smith website re: strain gauge -- "All other cartridges are all magnetic generating systems, which require a mass to be constantly moved to generate a voltage. The Strain Gauge does not; the effective moving mass has ...

Hi Lewm and chakster,Thank you for sharing your experience.Harvey 
ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?
BTW,While undoubtedly proprietary, curious what adhesive or binding compound is used to produce a ZYX  cantilever composed of 1000 pieces of CF composite.Harvey 
ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?
Dear listeners,Thank you for your replies, though my interest would likely top out at the 4D, which, while not inexpensive (to my mind), is listed in Europe for less than $3000 US.  I'm curious how the CF cantilevered  model might compare to the b... 
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp??
Hi Matt, Congratulations on solving system grounding.  I would add to Raul's praise of the Klyne.  One year ago I purchased a 7PX2 that Mr. Klyne had just serviced.  Not only quiet, but natural timbres.  The adjustable high frequency contour is a ... 
Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker?
Just came across this thread.  I have owned a pair of Eos HX (I believe one of the first pairs), and have been very pleased with their performance.  They are quite revealing of the recording and all upstream components, including cables, but in no... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Dear Philip,I am using the GE high current (blue) with the Exactpower 15A  -- from wall outlet to the Exactpower.  I have tried both, and the GE blue collar works better (more natural detail and dynamics) with the Exactpower than the GE power cond... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
@hieukm -- I'd suggest you call Bob, though as infection notes he will eventually reply to your e-mail.  His high current Graphene Extreme power cord is excellent with both my Exactpower 15A AC regenerator/conditioner as well as my tube linestage ... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
I'm with lancelock regarding his praise of Bob's power cords and interconnects.  I too am ordering a pair of the Graphene Extreme speaker cables to go between my amps (either Keith Herron mono blocks updated to M1a or Antique Sound Lab 1006-845's)... 
Helius tonearm users, what have you upgraded to?
Hi Bdp24 -- check with Manitunc -- he had both a Helius Omega and an Aurora listed for sale on VinylEngine Classifieds.Happy listening,Harvey
