    SFP Rolling? Anyone?

    I'd be curious to hear from anyone who has done some SFP rolling and reached some conclusions about the sound attributes of various makes of SFPs. I poo pooed this for a long time until I tried it, and most SFPs are going to be 15 bucks or less so it's easy to get tempted. It's kind of like...

    Breaking: Dartzeel to release phono cartridges

    Just received (mass) email from Hervé stating that Dartzeel will soon be releasing phono cartridges and "matching" phono stages. Looking forward to hearing more, no pun intended.

    Dynamic range and gain riding

    Continuation from Natural Sound #2726. Ok so some background. This system is a simple nearfield monitor system, so restricted low end. It's in my home office. I recently changed from two ways to essentially a wide bander (though it is supplemented by woofers on the low end, and ribbons that...

    Mozart Requiem recommendations?

    Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for Mozart's Requiem. A specific vinyl pressing. Looking for a great performance, and high audio quality. I have this one, and while it's generally nice, I'd say it's not as dynamic as I think it should be. This really needs to pop.

    Kuzma 4Point Owners: Try This!

    The sapphire pivot cup update for the Kuzma 4Point by Franc Kuzma a year or two back was, to me, an unequivocal improvement. I heard only upside after receiving my upgrade. Now, in a similar vein, @Vienna and I have discovered a modification that delivers another clear improvement to this...

    A visit to Mountain Joe's

    @mountainjoe had me over this morning. It was my second time hearing his system, with many changes since the first. Joe is now running a 250 pound Sp10 mk3 from Artisan Fidelity with a 9" Schroeder CB arm and dark kingwoood wand. Mounted on the arm was a Van Den Hul Master Sig 0.9V with the...

    "Real World" Power Cable Adventures

    I've been demoing various power cables for a while, and this brief writeup covers those in the $1000* or less price range. The following are my notes, and preferences. I used each cable behind my phono stage (Emia D3a w/ silver Slagle SUT and silver AVC) and again behind my amplifier (Dartzeel...

    Furutech DSS-4.1 Top Of The Line Bulk Speaker Cable

    It looks like Furutech has a new bulk speaker cable out, called DSS-4.1. It is clearly a cousin of the very popular DPS-4.1 power cable. And to go with the new DSS-4.1, Furutech also now offers a nice high-quality set of cable splitters that fit the girth of this cable perfectly. @DaveC - do...

    Not much love for idlers??

    As I've perused the WBF archives and discovered a wealth of information, one thing that has stuck out to me is that there seems not to be a lot of love for idlers here. Garrard, Thorens, Lenco... Bueler? Mainly I'm curious why this might be the case, what with the stability, PRaT, and imaging...
