| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? 'Three Cornered Hat' / Ansermet then 'Svengali' / Gil Evans then 'Count Three & Pray' / Berlin on an EAT E-Flat with a Dynavector XV-1s until it's time for 'Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me' | |

| Integrated Amp with Separate Volume Controls There is a customized Blue Circle integrated for sale currently on this site. The dual Shallco attenuators will provide the control you need. Good luck. | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords I want to apologize for a typo that, once made, carried through my post found above. The Oyaide GPX-R power cord is manufactured using P-004 connectors. I had mistakenly identified them as P-001, thankfully a model number Oyaide does not use. All ... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords A Power Cord Confessional:(100% true as written, the names unchanged so as not to protect anyone)If you were to ask me six years ago whether an after-market power cord could improve a systems performance I would have agreed if used for equipment ... | |
| New to the Record Cleaner Wars: Music Hall WCS-2 I waited four months until Quest for Sound received their first shipment. I've had it for a few months, very happy with the performance. Two factors I considered before ordering it were the water resistant aluminum/plastic casework and its high WA... | |
| Integrated amp choice for JMR Offrande Supreme V2 Bob,I bought the FtTH in 2007, before following the Blue Circle path to Bob Neill. I first read his thoughts on the integrated's synergy with the Offrandes on his website, then experienced the FtTH with the Offrandes in Amherst. I even brought my ... | |
| What oil for VPI HW19 turntable? Mobil 1 is a good choice, as this brand is a true synthetic oil (a liquid paraffin as opposed to 'reconstituted dino juice' that masquerades as synthetic). Either will vastly outperform the level of performance required to lubricate a turntable be... | |
| Supra Sword speakercable: Ryder, I've had Supra Sword speaker cables for nearly two years and have never regretted the choice. They perform as advertised and as reviewed. I lent my pair to a friend who ran them between his YBA amp and Rogers LS3/5a (now Penaudio Charismas)... | |
| Anyone have any experience with the Tunami GPX-R ? I am using two GPXs and am very satisfied with the results. The first runs from an R-1 outlet to an Acoustic Revive distribution block and the second continues to my integrated. What little line noise I had is gone and both ends of the spectrum re... | |

| Which Integrated got you off the merry go round? Blue Circle FtTH hybrid integrated amp. I needed a change from Krell. I considered the BAT VK300X, the Pathos Logos and the conrad-johnson CA200 (yes, I know it's not an integrated, its something else), but was ultimately sold on the quality of th... | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Might I suggest that you first try the following cable lifters, which I suspect must have been mentioned in some previous post. They will give you the opportunity to run a listening test prior to any purchase. Each cable lifter is comprised of thr... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire I saw a pair just this past week, in one of the darker finishes, at Worldwide Stereo in Montgomeryville, PA. I don't know if they are still for sale or reserved. | |
| Music to make you laugh by A follow-up to my post from yesterday. The Tom Waits song I was searching for is "Step Right Up" from his 1976 release 'Small Change'. |
