Regarding the conversation about stylus cleaning last evening........important to note that I (and am sure others) rely on a record cleaning regimen. This has great effect on the every day life of a stylus. A few years ago, I use to get black grunge on my Zerodust when using my steaming method and my AudioDesk. Moving forward....I get nothing but the white dust from being in a normal listening environment showing up on the blue-tac.
Slaw I totally agree on the record cleaning although I am nowhere near as diligent as yourself. But I hardly see anything on my Onzow or ME lately.
Re. Shunyata.
My SR Blue duplex feeds the Hydra2 via Copperhead cable. This feeds the Hydra8 via Diamondback which feeds all of the main gear. The other Hydra2 receptacle feeds a cheap power strip that feeds my Rega mono table, subs and network switch. May look for a Hydra4 to replace that.
BLACK BLACK background! Everything seems tighter and denser if that makes sense. Powerful?
When I used the Copperheads years ago, (actually two of them on my Parasound HCA 3500, required two PCs), I didn’t like them. The Copperhead and the helix cords are totally different designs.
