| New cartridge My vote would be for the Soundsmith cartridge, only because I have a cartridge that was "upgraded" by Soundsmith and the improvements were night and day - it really sounds amazing. Here’s a clip from a review on Analogue Seduction It is effort... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @svampebob - I can’t say I have noticed an abnormally long break-in with speaker cables, particularly if they use the Air Adaption, but it is possible that the Bananas (or other connectors) are what is causing an overly long burn-in. I mention t... | |

| What say you? Wow! - with this debate NEVER end? For every dealer that denounces performance cables you can find several more that will support their use/price. Dealers (like the chap in the video) are simply another person with an opinion - they are not an e... | |
