| Should I try a MC cartridge and phono pre? From my experience in modding my Technics 1200 I can tell you that isolation and power delivery are your main priorities. I would construct a base, either a sand box http://www.tnt-audio.com or air platform. I use a Dennensen air platform. I stron... | |
| Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy That's not synergy--it's complementary colorations. Check out this article:Complementary colorations | |
| Mapleshade Records Tweaks-Silclear & Micro-Smooth Back to silver, I just ordered a jar of Silclear. Will report my findings later! | |
| Cyro'd Outlets - Need strong hold on Elrods Dan, are you saying that the Acme I bought from you grips better than the Wattgate? | |
| Cyro'd Outlets - Need strong hold on Elrods If you can afford an Elrod, you can afford Wattgate oulets. | |

| Transports under $1K I have no doubts my Parasound CBD-2000 will be MUCH better than a stock TL-2 once Dan Wright is done w/ the project. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Johnmathias, you are waiting too long! Gino, did the people who installed the Rega arm use the same tonearm wire and phono IC's as the 1200? If the answer is no, then the comparison is not valid. The 1200's stock wiring leaves a lot to be desired ... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 The 1200's tonearm is not bad at all. It just needs some control ( it's heavier than its titanium predecessor ) and the fluid damper gives it just that. The tonearm has no ringing, it's bent at two unequal length to prevent standing waves and the ... | |
| Taming a Bright Phono Section Good cones like the Audiopoints might help a lot when used in combination with internal cabinet damping. You could be surprised! You could also be listening to electrical noise. Make sure your power is clean before drawing any conclusions. | |
| Old used high end transport vs new same price ? I bought a used belt drive transport and sent it to Danny Boy. He's doing some serious work--especially on the power supply--and when finished it should outperform the more expensive belt drives at a fraction of the cost ( about $1,100-$1,200 for ... | |
| What is te absolute best way to hook up a sub? And absolutely, two subs are better than one. | |
| Hydra 8/Hydra 6 vs PS Ultimate outlet? That's really good to know. The Clear Image T4 is much better built than the BPT's. If you can find a used one don't hesitate. | |
| Need good speaker cable for modest system. I strongly suggest military grade silver plated copper, 12 ga, about 37-41 strands, Teflon insulated. This will outperform stuff like Kimber 8TC and similar... | |
| Project Phono Box vs. Creek OBH-8 If you are willing to go a little bit higher, the Channel Islands phono stage would be a better bang for the dollar. A used Monolithic would be an even better deal! For $25, the Radio Shack should be better than either phono stage you're contempla... |
