If so, what exactly is breaking in?? stylus, cartridge coilings??"Of all the components in an audio system, the phono cart changes the most in sound ... | |
| Best speaker Cable matching Wilson Audio Sasha Over the years I've noticed that people criticize MIT heavily because of the network boxes on their cables, but with Transparent, people seem to ignore the boxes. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed it as well? | |
| Zany measurements and theories "OTOH, the empirical evidence he presents gives me a high degree of confidence that the interaction of those variables in real-life situations is such that this is a non-issue. Thanks, Rodman. Very important information.Swampwalker (System | Threa... | |
| Zany measurements and theories "Then a dogma has once again risen out of worst-case speculation of a theoretical scenario with no verification."It's not speculation. The contact point does get very hot. I did list 2 publications in my last post that dealt with this topic.If you... | |

| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? "01-26-15: DtcOf course, for the computer audio crowd these days, the rage is to remove the pre-amp and just have a good output stage and volume control in the DAC. This is basically the old passive pre-amp idea. I am still of the mind that the pr... | |
| Suggestions for phono cable "01-26-15: SyntaxAudioquest LEOpardSyntax (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread)"That's an actual tonearm cable. The Scout has regular rca outputs on it so you can use regular IC's. If you look at the Cheetah I mentioned in my first post, its ... | |

| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? "You may not need a stupidly expensive amp for your pre-amp because the speakers you have are extremely efficient, don't need massive power and interact well with your amp, so you can go with a very low power, lesser expensive (not all low power a... | |
| Suggestions for phono cable I have a Scout. You don't need to use a special phono cable, regular IC's work fine. I have a bunch of cables, but the ones I like the best are AQ Cheetah's. The DBS system is good for TT's because its takes less time for the cables to break in, a... |
