| Balanced/Unbalanced question "03-06-15: StringreenAll of the above is true, but the bottom line is if you do have true blanced circuits (seperate + and - and not XLR inputs for cosmetic reasons), then it will sound better. My Ayre equipment sounds better with XLR connections ... | |
| Genesis Time Lens Steve's answered many questions for me over the last couple of years and has never tried to sell me anything. And so what if he did? I'm an adult. I know how to say no if I don't want to buy something.I like Ralph from Atmasphere very much as well... | |

| SACD & other Formats "03-07-15: ColekatSACD hasn't failed. As a matter of fact, with the right rig, SACD is awesome."I don't think I was clear. I meant SACD was a commercial failure. Sony stopped supporting the format about 10 years ago. The sound quality is fine. I t... | |

| Which Turntable?? "VPI Scout looks like it is a bit high. "Its worth it. "By speed accuracy i assume you mean wow & flutter. What I was struck by is the big difference--- .025 comp to .15 for the Elemental. Is that because the former is DD? "I wouldn't worry to... | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150 That's a lot of money to take a chance on. I would call Cable Co and see if they have some KT150 that they can lend you. For some reason, I thought the V-4's took 6550's. Personally, I like them better than the KT-88. If they'll work in your amp, ... | |
