| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? I'm using the Anti-Cables bi-wired with an Ayre V1xe, and Vandersteen 5A's. There are 4 wires each side from the amp to the speakers. They are not twisted and as far from each other as possible. The sound is stunning. | |
| Audioquest Sky/Evrest or Purist Dominus/Anniversar On my system, Purist cables sound dark - not necessarily closed in, just dark, and not very lifelike. The midrange, is just oh so drippy smoothe. I tried all kinds of cables, and Audioquest Sky and silver speaker cables sounded very, very, real. I... | |
| Stupid question about power cables ... Regarding that 3rd pin.. The proper way to hook everything up is to use that 3rd pin on the preamp, and then no 3rd pins on anything else. Also - get a VTVM. With only the component being test, plug it into the wall using a "cheater" (a 3 prong to... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... Audioquest Silver and Anti-Cables. Don't twist the Anti-Cables in spite of the recommendation. | |

| Turntable Hum Has it ever behaved and if so, what change happened that initiated the problem? | |
| Turntable, Vinyl help................please I tend to think you should aim higher. A very reasonable and wonderful table are those made by Rega. As good as the table is, the included arm is even better than the table. If you do get Rega, get back to me and I'll tell you those little secrets... | |
| Subwoofer "Thumping" My thought is that the arm/cartridge has a resonance mismatch and the woofer being able to respond to those low frequencies, is only doing it's job. What kind of arm/cartridge do you have - I suspect an arm with high mass, and a cartridge with lot... | |
| benz ref 2 or sumiko celebration I have a benz ebony high output and love it. Remember the higher the output, the less the head amp has to do. I hear no hum or noise and absolutely wonderful 3 dimensional effortless sound. | |
| Best Support For Rega 3 I use 3 plastic rods under my Rega25 positioned so that with a slight push, the whole turntable is able to move slightly front to back. I have this on a plastic shelf supported by 3 cones. I use all of Expressimo Audio's upgrades and the resulting... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? I've been doing this for more years than I want to admit. I've always had to lower the back end slightly. I now use a Benz Ebony - lower the back of the tonearm (weight side) down slightly. |
