| CD Matts that improve sound? I have the Aurex. It smoothens and relaxes musical presentation but it is only practical for top loading transports. | |
| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? $450 will get you a brand new 1200. It is a far better deck than the glass and particle board bunch. Besides, it it upgradeable.I just talked yesterday to an audio industry personality. She told me she has two TTs: a Basis and a modded 1200 w/ an ... | |
| Audiopoints or Walker tuning kit under a turntable How about an IKEA Lack table and some KAB Sonic Domes? My recent experiences tell me to steer away from cones (in most applications). Brass is not a very good material for cones, BTW. It loses its sharp tip rather easily. | |

| How many quality interconnects to I need ? Audioengr, I was talking to Robert Schult of Ridge Street Audio Designs this afternoon. He was telling me that capacitance by itself is pretty much meaningless as a spec--just like *watts* in an amplifier. Capacitance must be viewed in relation to... | |
| Digital cable recommendation Robin, that guy from i2digital is a *specialist* in digital transmission--that's all he makes. I just talked to Robert this afternoon. I'm getting three more pairs of Ridge Street Audio ICs for my system. My digital will be i2digital, though... | |
