Balancing a Linn Basik TT
I had a look today but didn't have time to take it apart. No joy on a dealers manual.Have you tried adjusting them - I'm sure they can slightly alter the level of the toplate by varying the tightness.Not huge amount but enough to level it within t... 
Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Hi Stan,I currently have an ad running for one - the guy I was trying to get it for has given up, he can't live with the original as he says it's dead!My sentiments till I got the slug and sold my 8 !If I get any offers, I'll direct them to you if... 
Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Hi Bhouser,I had a Ultraglide Mini Khan plus on cd, PS Audio statement on pre and the King Cobra V2 on the Pass.Replaced PS with Harmonix and had a good and enjoyable listening session for about 7 hours before deciding :this cord (Harmonix)does so...

Tried a Harmonix Studio Master on my Syrah today in place of the PS.without drawing any conclusions, the difference was unbelieveableThe Syrah is obviously a very open window to power cords.I like to think I have a lot of experience but these cord... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I use my Syrah with a Pass X-250 and really enjoy it, shame the pre does not have the psuedo - balanced output.Heard it briefly with the X-350.5 stunning.Not sure whats good value but the X-350.5 was £5,550 used,more than the price of a new one i...

Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Very nice to know Caelin never intended an Anaconda Vx on anything other than digital - shame he hadn't reached that pearl of wisdom before bringing out the Anaconda Vx first and fitting lots to my knowledge with Nemas ( can something that wiggles...

Hi there,I'll try and get a look at my mates tommorow - have you taken of the toplate - I'm sure I finished p adjusting them from inside.I know a Linn dealer, I will see if there is a 'workshop manual' and if so will get you a copy.Si 
Anyone else heard "Old Crow Medicine Show"
Suppose it depends if your a 'geetar' player or not.I think they counterpoint each other wonderfully and (unfortunately, I'm only talking from DVD's) seem to have a spontaniety & spark live that does not quite come over on their studio albums.... 
Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Hi me again, I have experienced the Vx's sounding grainy on most things other than digital. I always wondered about my Anaconda Vx feeding the Hydra but given the Nema connector and the expense to change to an Alpha and the fact it seems to work w...

Seurat,I'd try a used Python/Taipan Alpha and save yourself the grief of listening to a new one burning in.I think the Accuphase might sound a bit lean with Nordost.Only my tuppence worth.Si 
Anyone else heard "Old Crow Medicine Show"
Saw them as guests on the tail end of a Gillian Welch/David Rawlings show - they did a version of "The Weight" which compared more than favourably with any other interpretation of what was always a fabulous song !Si

Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ?
Hi Tvad,I know for a fact the two Ultra Khans Rev that I have don't have grounds as I opened them up to find out and also to see if I could alter the IECs to 'grip'.I have used the 'tape' method but I'm talking about the actual prongs inside. Even...
