| Need a 3 meter IC- not bright- suggestion please Turns out I built my own- Klotz AC110 cable (think Rega Couple- it's the same wire- used to be called Klotz GY107, then when marketed as an instrument cable, sold as Klotz LaGrange), Neutrik ProFi plugs all wrapped in black Techflex. Total cost of... | |
| Best gain setting on phono pre- low/medium/high? Bdp24, that makes lots of sense. I'm now running the phono on the lowest gain for MC and I've got plenty of room on my volume control on the preamp to reach satisfying levels. This seems to be the way to go. | |

| SPDIF suggestion Very pleased with Green Hornet these days | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord I built my own power cord using Belden 19364 and Wattgate iec and plug. In the one application where I am using it- a tubed headphone amp, this power cord had a noticeable effect in dropping background noise. I suppose that was the shielding at wo... | |
