| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Being serious, I need help with the finishing touches of my system. My little Swans should be back from MODWRIGHT next week and I have some serious speaker and power cable issues. Dan has done an *impressive* modification including 4 Bybee filters... | |
| Question 5000 for amp, proc'r & speakers for HT Ever hear of the term *codependency*? | |
| Freeze first, or cook first? Your recipe? Cryo treatment is a part of my Swan's modification by Dan Wright (MODWRIGHT). Dan told me he prefers to burn in components first and then sends them to Jena Labs for cryo.As for burning in my 'already broken in' power cords, they do show improveme... | |

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Now I am REALLY confused. My Swans will be back from MODWRIGHT in two weeks and they've been internally rewired with 20 ft of Jena labs cryo treated wire. I am still a nomad, so I am totally confused as to finding a reasonable solution for speaker... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long That "Fritz Geyger mirror-polished stylus" is the one my Ortofon uses--don't know about size, though. Excellent response. So, having a better cartridge than what I'm using should bring even more music once the damper is installed. I would add a li... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Quote: "You mean after all this time you didn't 'get' the principle of this gizmo you've been all over me to go ahead and order?!"Yes and no---Yes, because I have an old Disctracker by Discwasher damper and have been using it on every cartridge I'... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Quote: "For my decidedly non-audiophile-approved Technics Sl-1200, I intend to soon order a dedicated retrofit viscous damper assembly from KAB, and I hope I'll hear some of the benefits with my Glider that are blowing you away."You mean "non-Vood... | |

| Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker? Is Audioengr is looking at designing *and* marketing a cooker? Hmmm. Could be. | |
| Phonomena vs. AcousTech PH-1 phono pre amp? I have a Monolithic Sound PS-1. The advantage is that you can buy its plain vanilla version (like I did) and then add the outboard dual mono power supply. This, in turn, can be sent to MODWRIGHT for modification. Dan Wright uses two phono stages i... | |
| Trying to Enter the "HiFi" Bizz You guys have forgotten the most succesful of all times, Dr. Bose...Make up a theory, back it up with the most clever marketing and you'll be RICH!!! | |
| Whats a good high quality 78 speed table???? Modded Technics 1200 from KAB Electroacoustics. You can buy one new (w/ warranty) or send a 1200 for modding. Kevin also sells several other 78 RPM playing TTs and is most knowledgeable in old recordings. He also sells preamps w/ different EQ sett... |
