| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? MrdB, are you referring to the big fat transparent zip-cord, but with the coarse and fine wires inside? That too was a Brisson design (time aligned.) | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer I agree with Mike, that phase is everything in azimuth adjustment -- however, from my reading of the Fozgometer instruction manual:http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/Manuals/Fosgate/FozgometerManual.pdfit only measures L or R crosstalk levels (sep... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer I agree with Doug. Someone once told me in my Shure cartridge days (when we eyeballed everything!) that unless the cartridge was obviously "tilted" ;--) it would be "just fine". So for me, everything was "just fine" for many years.John, the track ... | |
| Comparing Perf: Original XLR v. RCA- XLR adapter Everything _q says is wrong. | |
| Comparing Perf: Original XLR v. RCA- XLR adapter Grant is correct, however if you'd be interested in more detail, I just posted the following on another site:1. Balanced cables are only "quieter" if carrying a balanced signal (a plus and a minus referenced to a neutral conductor) in which case n... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer damn, I have always done this by ear. Guess I need to blow $250...John, I'm surprised you weren't their first customer!! ;--))Unfortunately (fortunately?) my SME V doesn't allow for such tweaking, so I have to rely on the skill of my cartridge mak... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Mrdecibel: Both your picks certainly should be included. However, the single ended "shotgun"--type interconnect which put Monster on the map (if that's what you are referring to), was actually invented by Bruce Brisson, who parted ways with Noel e... | |

| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V AQ4life: I used my SME-supplied vdH tonearm cable for years; skeptical like yourself that anything else would be much of an improvement. But as my system got more resolving, my phono playbck stayed the same even through a couple of cartridge chang... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V Jtimothya -- what other phono cables did you use/consider before settling on the SB? | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V I am wondering if you had a chance to compare the Silver Breeze tonearm cable with the Purist Audio directly?No I haven't. My purchase of the Silver Breeze -- which was all but a done deal -- was inadvertantly sabotaged by Jim Aud (owner of PAD) o... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V Hi Frank: I'm pretty sure your arm has the latest internal wiring. The Ikeda silver sounds lik a good wire -- but basically, all silver litz wire is the same. The important difference between various ones will be in the quality of the clips, and t... | |
| Is it proper to leave amp on all the time? Most modern amplifiers, both tube and ss, employ some kind of inrush current protection, even something as simple as a cheap thermistor -- (this is not to be confused with surge protection.) When you consider that both tube and ss amps take about ... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V The OEM SME vdH cable sucks. Sounds like you're listening through a blanket.The PAD cables are great. I can only afford the Venustas, but John has gone right up through the line, so you can believe him when he says they get even better.Cardas GR, ... | |
| directional cables? In the early 80's, at Christopher Hansen's audio showrooms in Beverly Hills, I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Brisson right after he left MonsterCable, and had begun making his famous MI330 interconnect and Music Hose speaker cable. He was ther... |
