REVIEW: Soundsmith Denon DL103
Thanks Ph - took me a while, but since "dipping my toe" I find "the water is incredibly fine"A nice investment that has definitely paid off :-) 
REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect
Yping - on my system - yes, it was noticeably better!I qualify my response because I do not know how resolving your system is?- if your system is not capable of resolving to the level of the gZero20's, then you would be wasting your money.- if it ... 
REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect
Yping - as with anything in this obsessive hobby, gauging performance improvements is relative to the person and their various system components and cables.I can only state with certainty that each successive model in the gZero line has yielded no... 
REVIEW: Soundsmith Denon DL103
Stringreen - my knowledge of cartridges is very limited. I really didn't "get into" vinyl until a couple of years ago when I rebuilt and upgraded my turn table. At that point I opted for a Denon because of it's stellar reviews and very attractive ... 
REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect
Mofi - that is Aussie Dollars (LOL)But seriously - If I understand Keith Louie correctly...- this is NOT a couple of plugs soldered onto a piece of stock bulk cable- The neutral conductors are hand wound around the signal conductor in a very compl... 
REVIEW: Soundsmith Denon DL103
RL - a new appreciation you say? - You got that right :-)My vinyl has never sounded this good and I'm buying more new vinyl as a result.Regards... 
Upgrading interconnects
Take a look at the KLE Innovations cables.I've tried most of their cables and all of their RCA's and I haven't found anything that can compete, especially at the price.I compared the gZero3 with a silver Kimber Kable XLR on a 50k system, and the g... 
Crossovers
Steve - also take the opportunity to assess the state of the internal wires.Copper Quality has come a long way since they were built and it may be advantageous to rewire them as well, but don't go overboard with really heavy gauge wire.Something l... 
Audiomods Series 3 Review
Since the last post I've upgraded... - the cartridge to a Soundsmith DL103- the RCA's on the one piece harness to KLEI Absolute Harmony- the interconnects from phono to amp to KLEI gZero20 What an upgrade - this arm is performing way above it's pr... 
Crossovers
Steve - I just remembered I also had to have a couple of the heavy duty resistors replaced - they were looking "well worn" - but they we're cheap compared to the caps.Regards 
Best Dac under $600... New or used
I second the Bifrost - with the UBER upgrade - have one - love it!!! 
Large banana plugs for 10 awg speaker cable
Take a look at Furez products - I've used them on my 10 gauge cables they perform great. 
Crossovers
I had all the Caps changed in the x-overs of a 30 year old set of speakers - replaced them with Mundorf caps.Cost $250 for both x-oversAs long as the speaker surrounds are in good shape you won't be wasting your money - I had to have my speaker su... 
Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed
Sb, - I think I may have observed something similar.... On a couple of Police tracks it did seem as though the bass drum was quieter, until I realized that the image had deepened considerably and the bass drum was now further towards the rear of t... 
Enhancing online radio station sound options
Ptss - sorry, have no listening experience with the Oppo. A friend has one and he likes it a lotThe base Bifrost is very good, but if you treat it to good interconnect and power cables it is exceptional. Very high resolution, fast dynamics and cav...
