| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio Can anyone comment on their experience with Chinese "Odin" interconnect cables in comparison to those described above. In particular, I am looking for a set of interconnects for my low power SET integrated amplifier. I have found that some inter... | |
| Cable elevators One thing you might consider is rather than using cable risers, suspend your speaker cables with string from the ceiling. The advantage here is your speaker cables can be completely isolated from the power cords and other connectors because afte... | |
| My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow The cell phone apps for turntable speed are not accurate. In my experience they read fast by about .3 to .5 rpm. If your cell phone app is reading 33.33 chances are your ears are correct and the TT is slow. | |

| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? Spin Clean is the best record cleaner out there short of an Ultrasonic cleaner. I have both but have used the Spin Clean for many years with good results. | |

The good news is you do not have to spend a lot of money on amplification to get really excellent sound. I have two integrated amplifiers that I alternate with as... | |

| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? Not to shift gears, but what do you all do with accumulated back issues. I have complete issues going back several years of both TAS and Stereophile. I would be happy to give them away if anyone wants them. PM me if interested. | |
