| TT2 or TT3 linear tracker from clearaudio A TT3 has been on my turntable for more than a year now, partnering with a SoundSmith Strain Gauge cartridge expertly set up by the Audio Ark here in Edmonton. Since this arm uses gravity, not an air pump, the rail along which the cartridge travel... | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD This isn't the newest thread, but as it still seems relevant may I suggest -- much as I enjoy Pinnock and Perlman and in a different category Ristenpart -- that there's now a good case to be made for Tafelmusik under Jean Lamon. Performance and so... | |

| Power conditioning: APS, Eclipse, Velocitor, or ? Update:Both Jerry from Audio Magic and Jim from Sound Application have sent me helpful information -- in the first case, that using two power cords into a twin outlet is perfectly all right, as the internal circuitry of the Eclipse prevents feedba... | |
| Power conditioning: APS, Eclipse, Velocitor, or ? Your helpful comments much appreciated!Thanks, Sdatch, for the explanation about the Velocitor. Since there isn't a lot I can do about the power lines in my building, in spite of its sonic virtues this doesn't sound like the unit for me. You've he... |
