| Shure V15 III loading experiences Thanks for the responses guys. I can change the values w/o too much difficulty to experiment. Nice to know the direction that those values tend to lead the music. Happy Holidays and listening to all! | |

| Best drink while listening to your rig? Custom made soda. Fresh fruit juice off the local trees with CO2 cartridge powered seltzer bottle. Unlimited variety of flavors. Used to be a Campbelltown (sp?) single malt though. | |

| Silver vs cryogenic treated copper I prefer the greater conductivity of annealed silver (where affordable and practical) to maintain retreaval of signal and tune with tube swapping. I like the idea of at least having maximum signal transfer and go from there rather than try to reco... | |

| Mcintosh MC-2105 with Totem Hawk? As the present owner of a 2105, serviced in the last 2 yrs, I've been using it for the last 12 yrs. I must like it enough not to have replaced it after all this time but it is not high on the audio food chain by todays standards. BE ADVISED!: you ... |
