Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi
Output has nothing to do with resolution.  In fact I find the lower output cartridges generally to have higher resolution.   
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
The nerve of him!  He probably doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about!  And neither do all the science based individuals who study confirmation bias. Just trust your ears 🙄 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
 as someone earlier said, I get sick of the overplayed stuff. I go through phases and switch it up.  But I would never drop the genre completely.Also when I’m listening on my best system I tend to lean towards classic rock that is well recorded wh... 
Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi
I do believe that you have to consider more than just gain. I tried a Lyra Cleo’s SL with a heron phono stage with I believe 74DB of gain which on paper should be more than enough. However going straight into the phono it sounded a bit polite and ... 
Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline
 I love the teres table as well! One thing I did that made quite a bit a difference for me was I took the strobe sticker that goes on the bottom of the platter, took it to a graphic shop and had it blown bigger so it is right at the edge of the pl... 
Is this the end of HEA?
 I agree with you on a couple of points, cost is definitely not representative of sound quality andGreed is ruining the hobby. Everybody’s looking to make a big big bucks on whatever they produce.  
Power Uber Alles ?
I  find simpler amplifiers to sound better which pretty much means less power  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I’m sure the improvements were obvious to everyone when you told them you had subbed in a larger gauge power cable and that it would sound much better.  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I think people would be further ahead to get rid of the stupid IEC and hardwire a decent gauge cord in instead of spending big bucks on some silly overpriced well marketed crap.  
Tube info
 My experience is the opposite, the driver Tubes tend to make more difference when I’ve tried them.  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@prof another excellent post! I would say the measurements that show a change to the output signal don’t exist because they don’t exist.  And I think some manufacturers say to use the best cabling because they don’t want to alienate potential buye... 
Which Amp to complete my system?
 I am totally baffled by a lot of these recommendations. Really don’t see the need for hundred or 150 W amplifier on a speaker that is over 100 DB efficient. you need a warm sounding amplifier preferably low power tube.  That rules out sonic front... 
Which power cords should I look at?
Ljgerens it sounds as though you have a very low noise floor. I’m not aware of any way that a power cord can lower noise floor, perhaps someone can offer a technical explanation of how this would work?  Or reference some measurements as that is ve... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
It’s doesn’t really matter what he believes, that’s the way it is.  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
 Exactly! I can buy into the speaker cable and the interconnect having an effect on the sound but if the power cable to changes the sound in a measurable way you should throw the device in the garbage and get another one. It must have a horrible h...
