Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s
In view of the advice that the factory does this, I would probably go that route, and not try to have it done locally, if you can give up the arm for a little while. 
Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s
Dream, there is a whole crew of pretty serious audio guys in Manila. They post on the What's Best Forum. You can reach out to them there for local help on rewiring, and avoid shipping issues. They are very nice guys and seem to be quite facile in ... 
Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s
I have compared the Titan i to the Airtight PC-1 (not the Supreme) in my system and, using the Airline arm, the Titan sounded more 'spotlit' in the highs, the mids were natural and the bass was deep; by comparison, the Airtight sounded richer, but... 
AC Outlets
I don't want to skew what people want tested but here's my offer- I'll put up $50 bucks toward the purchase of some additional outlets -whichever they are, I don't care, let the folks here pick em by consensus for the test. Send me a PM Peter, or ... 
AC Outlets
Thanks Peter, i'm hardly an expert, some of this comes from basic behavioral 'testing', i.e. when you do polls or try to get an honest opinion from a subject; some of it, just my experience as a listener, i.e. i think i have pretty 'quick ears,' i...

Leaving aside hook up, burn-in, etc., is there some way you can log listener reactions to match what receptacles/plugs they are responding to?are listeners allowed to share their comments as a group in deciding what sounds 'better' or 'worse'? (Th... 
Why does better power = better sound?
Rower- I need you to clarify something and I'm not busting your chops in asking this: if the power supply in a component is less than perfect, wouldn't it be affected by the power that is delivered from the wall?Thanks in advance.(and no agenda on... 
$18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please
Philip: not sure I have much more to add, since I don't know what amps would sound best with your MLs. (I used stats exclusively from around 1974 until 2005 so i know why you like them, I do too, but I don't know what amps work and sound best with... 
$18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please
Hi, Charles, yes, I heard the first generation of it in my system, however, the later version to my ears, using the DR version of the 6H30 tube is substantially better. I am unclear whether the OP was looking for a line stage or a full-on preamp t... 
$18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please
Philip, i think so much is dependent on the other pieces in the system that any absolute ranking is not going to be terribly meaningful. I think you do have to hear these things in your system, which, from what I gather, is not easy for you to do?... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
I was the one that raised the question of system synergy, given some of the diverse descriptions of sound, from too much leading edge, to dark and dead. I don't own an AC table; I'm using the Kuzma XL and Airline and am not promoting that either (... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
I hate to interject subjective, 'system-dependent,' synergy-type thinking here, since despite my subjectivist leanings, I tend to think of turntables in terms of accuracy, speed constancy, low noise and neutrality, but is some of the difference he... 
Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's
I think if I include an email in the message they block it. That's why you didn't receive it. My media website is flyingreptilemediagroup if you go there you can email me from there. What a pain. It is not like I am trying to deprive the Gon of a ...

Rmarcus - I sent you a PM, please let me know if you got it.Best, 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
I don't think getting a projectable sample is of any value here guys. I think you have to put these units in the system in question, and live with them for a while. That's the only way. Expensive, perhaps, but if Maril bought a good MS, and got Je...
