| High End Myth Glossary. Here are my Myth's to add to the Glossary.Audio Asylum is as good as Audiogon.No one at Audiogon ever "trolls" by posting controversial topics.Bose makes the ultimate speaker. | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? ha?Guess it's good I did not.Now if you had said: Nanny Nanny Boo Boo, I would have been humiliated and forced to respect you. | |
| Egads - Changing rooms for the worse... Why not have the pretty one move in with you? Your life improves without compromising the system. | |
| Stylus pressure gauges I think Mikelavigne said it perfectly (quoted below):I can really be confident of a repeatable measurement. This is especially helpful if you own and use multiple cartridges. You are able to go back to your exact previous setup without the sometim... | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? Then why would you sell them?Too bad you disposed of them. I would really like to see them put Wolcott "to shame" on U-1 Soundlabs. Particularly since Papworth has less power, bandwidth and headroom. | |
| Stylus pressure gauges The problem Markshvarts, is that many of the jeweler scales are magnetic. Using them near the highly magnetic field of a moving coil cartridge is nearly impossible. I know this because I tried about half a dozen jeweler scales, purchased both loca... | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? If your going to brag about them you should spell their name correctly.It's PAPWORTH and they are manufactured in England. Also, according to one price guide on the internet, they sell for 25,939.50 USD. That's more than double the Wolcotts, more ... | |

| Anybody stop using power conditioning? I don't like what the PS Audio does to the music. They were ineffective with my Soundlabs (powering back plates) and Soundlabs draw only one eighth of an amp at 120 volts. The Soundlabs are an excellent place to test conditioners, whatever sound t... | |
| I'm trying Shanling SP-80 monoblocs at home... I did a search, they do look nice.Link is to image of amps with CD player.http://www.harmonia-audio.com/images/SCD-T200&SP-80_B.JPG | |
| Silver DIY Interconnects I would only add that I was not the person who contacted Sean outside of these threads. I always voice my opinions in the open and based solely on my experience. As to audio cable, there are many things that lie beyond explanation or the ability t... | |
| Anybody stop using power conditioning? Capeguy, I have no protection. It does worry me, especially during those electrical storms that Texas and Oklahoma are famous for.When the weather turns really ugly, I simply do not play my stereo. Sometime I get so paranoid I unplug the main comp... | |
| Anybody stop using power conditioning? I don't doubt your position Stehno, it's just that in my system every conditioner applied to my main (two channel) gear made the music worse. It would be senseless to continue to use a product based solely on theory.As already stated, a one time e... | |
| High End Equipment Security and Insurance??? I suggest buying speakers so large that the thieves tip them, killing themselves in the process. | |
