Grado cartridges still worth the money?
Randy Why don't you get a 1 to 10 SUT and run it into your MC section.  That coupled with 5751 tubes should work well.  
Directionality of wire
Then we have teo claiming you can hear from the next room, wanna come in and demonstrate that one blind?? 
Directionality of wire
What a load of BS!! 
Van Den Hul what is the best cart ?
 Just an update to my earlier  post regarding my colibri.  The sibilance I was experiencing was mostly a break-in issue and partly an arm compatibility issue.  The compliance is very high so you need a very light effective mass arm to have the rig... 
Best fuses for under $50?
Goofykate  I just reverse the current going through them. About 60 times a second. And believe it or not I don't hear any difference whether it's going one way or the other!

 That's funny! The master of gobbledygook himself Geoff,  accusing the educated voice of reason, Almarg  of spreading nonsense. Just to re-iterate for the newbies, treat anything Geoff says as entertainment and anything Al says as gospel.

Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore?
Regarding people's worry about the companies future, I wouldn't stress about it. It's tube electronics any competent tech should be able to fix it.  
Journey ending speakers
Ctsooner  i'm glad you love your vandersteens  but I had to chime in and correct your statements. All these so-called advances in materials are mostly bunk.   A good old paper driver is still king for musicality. You can assemble a system with eig... 
Coherent Speakers from Canada
 I have heard two models out of the lineup under show conditions at the Toronto audio show. I have heard both the 12 inch in the 15 inch. My strong favourite was the 15 inch. They are very similar to Tannoy.  The first year I heard them was with t... 
If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
 Plenty of RCA connections have shields.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
 Or should I say "signal enhancer".  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
 Just a heads up that somebody took apart one of those purifiers and it was a two dollar resister inside. I believe it shows a pic on Cam in a thread about that same product.
