ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?
don_c55$15,000 for a cartridge.No matter what anyone says about the quality, that is absurd!It's a subjective judgment. I'd never pay that kind of money for a phono cartridge. But many people think that what audiophiles commonly pay for component...

jinjukuI never said, or didn't say that the method is scientifically rigorous If you're not interested in a scientifically valid test, then this exercise is really just a waste of time, imo. But it's fine if you're having fun with it - that's n...

jinjukuHere is the fundamental problem: Subjectivists have taken this one step too far. If you believe contributors here have ventured "one step too far," you should alert the moderators. They control the conversation here, not you and your "put...

Expectations for warranty repair timing
swampwalker... I do know that the local respected techs have a 2-4 month backlog.Yes, I think that is quite common. I have a piece in now with an expected 12-week turnaround. But that's for a reel-to-reel tape deck.On a warranty repair, I would ...

crazyeddyI have not seen a locking RCA. Could you enlighten me? Sorry, offering enlightenment is above my pay grade. ;|But if you're interested in locking RCA connectors, look into WBT and DH Labs. There are probably other vendors as well.
