| Balanced headphone cable I'm using an all balanced system including balanced connected headphones driven by a dedicated balanced headphone amp. I don't remember what unbalanced sounds like, but mine is always a wow. | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important In my experience everything is important, but if I had to rank the various adjustments, proper azimuth is 1 or 2 | |
| Who owns Ayon amps? When you get your gear into your house, support becomes a very valuable asset. | |
| What is the best sound system you ever heard? In the old days ....a Decca cartridge (don't remember the arm or t/t), Audio Research electronics, and Infinity IRS speakers. | |
| Power conditioner and high end power cord Power cords have improved my system.....so too upgraded wall plugs, but not power conditioners. | |
| Cardas Audio Service Quality I have only great experiences with Cardas. See if you can call and speak to someone (Colleen) | |
| AudioQuest Niagara 1000 I never had luck with these things...they've made the system sound different but also introduced "trolls". Make sure you hear it in your own system...they don't work with my Ayre stuff. | |
| Integrated Amps - Ayre vs Pass Labs If you have Ayre questions...just call them. They are extremely nice and will give you the right answers without trying to sell you something. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Atmosphere....kindly post your findings.....I have a balanced system, am using Doug's system with no Y connectors made by AudioSensibilies, and have experienced a great improvement from regular XLR's | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) You can still find the original Ortofon Winfield....better than the Black, but in the same sonic picture. | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? I just sent my Ayre amp back to Ayre. I went through the same questions..... I decided to continue with the music. You'll get over the expense and effort. Go for it! | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question Unipivots are not right for the Decca. Lots of resonance reflects back into the arm....you need solid bearings. | |
| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen So many I know recommend Audioquest (though not silver) for Vandys | |
| recommendation needed-upgrade power receptacle- monster power htps7000 outlet 15amp or 20 I use Maestro outlets.....replaced PorterPorts | |
| Cartridge new or used ? never used for me |
