| Conrad Johnson GAT - What else is there? @respecthifiThey removed my post to you probably because I had attached a link to the product I was suggesting for you. I will leave out the link this time.I had suggested the new model preamp VK-80 from Balanced Audio Technology (BAT). It fits ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brian, enjoy that new cartridge. No matter how good it sounds at first, remember, there is a break-in period of time. It will keep sounding better over the first 50+ hours of play. My guess is that it will sound great from the start, and even b... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? James,No, I don't know of those artists/musicians. Admittedly, I am a bit slow getting acquainted with new material. I have been exposed to some new ones via this very good thread, which I am grateful for. I will look into those cited above. H... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Holy cow! Proper phase connections. Nobody (including myself) ever mentioned that...until now. The very first potential problem to look for when there is an absence of bass is proper polarity, or, phase connectivity. And it took this long. @t... | |
