| Unplated copper spades/banana This same question can be applied to power receptacles and power cord plugs and IEC ends. It's not a matter of one being better than the other, they are just different. I comes down to personal preference and what you perceive as a good or poor ma... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords Ok, I will address the requests for more info. BTW, to those who contend that power cords or even all cables make no difference, I consider you and your wallet to be lucky since you have no need to spend lots of money on wire. The rest of us are ... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR I have a question for everyone on this thread. All of you are far more knowledgeable than me about this subject. I have a V15 type V cart that is not in use at the moment. It has an Ed Saunders stylus. I think that those styli were sort of an "eco... | |

| Ethernet cables Thanks everyone for your input. As per usual, the opinions ranged from the naysayers to the over the toppers. One cable that has not been mentioned here is the Supra CAT 8 ethernet cable. Jay Luong at Audio Bacon was very impressed with it even in... | |
| Speaker isolation - spikes on puck, springs, sorbothane Yet another option is the Stack Audio Auva isolators. I have a set of the Auva 70 isolators on a pair of Focal Sopra 2. My floor is tile over concrete slab. They do exactly as advertised. Very pleased with the results vs. the stock spikes on the ... | |
