Favorite Obscure Rock Song
Not obscure but I do like “Creep” by Radiohead.   
shy about prices
Perhaps because the prices are so out of whack with reality that they don’t want to scare customers away?   Case in point, I bought my GE Triton Refs before they were on showroom floors  for $8K. The retailed for $8.5K.  3+ years later, the same e... 
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges
@aberyclark, Thank you, it sounds better than any $280.00 has the right to sound.   I have about 25 hours on it and it is more than I hoped it would be.    
Heritage Cornwall Iv's vs ZU Audio Omen Defs
I heard the Cornwall IV and they are the best sounding of all the Cornwall series. They do not sound shouty or bright at all, not like some of the older Cornwalls. I’m hoping to buy a pair this year. I heard the ZU speakers in general at 2017 RMAF... 
Safe to use an old Sumiko Talisman Virtuoso B?
I bought a used Dynavector DV20XL or something like that and it had collapsed suspension. The bottom of the cartridge was scraping on the record.  But, for that brief moment, it sounded sublime. I ended up getting it fixed by Andy at The Needle Cl... 
Hi current or source power cable
How would the source cord know it is being used on an amp and vice versa?  
Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along
We use a whole house humidifier in the winter made by AirCare.  I think it was around a couple of hundred dollars 2 years ago when I bought it.  This puts around 5 gallons of water daily in the air.  In my upstairs room, the humidity right now is ... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
@veerossi, Sadly, I have never heard any of the bigger Tannoy’s.  I only heard the inexpensive one with an 8 inch woofer.  I will have to hit another Audio Show to hear the Tannoy’s. I have heard the Klipsch and am hoping to purchase a new pair o... 
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges
@mahler123, If the person contacts me again which I doubt, I will post the info.  I do not want to start anything, I am getting too old for that amount of drama.  Believe it or not, the drama really takes a toll on me and I would rather avoid.    
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
@ roxy54, You are correct about the Volti speakers.  I was wrong, I was thinking of another brand.  
Harman Kardon HD 7400 Displays E, won't play
I would send it back to whomever refurbished it.    
Whats playing on your system today?
It's all vinyl today as I am still breaking in my MM cartridge. Mott The Hoople Live Tom Petty & Heartbreakers, Damn The Torpedo's The Eagles, Greatest Hits The Who, Who's Next The Who, Live At Leeds Alice Cooper, Killer Pink Floyd, Med... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
@roxy54, I already gave my recommendations at the beginning of this thread.    
Has anyone tried this?
I just noticed it on my Sheffield disc. I swapped the wires on the back of my speakers as I use banana plugs.  I honestly didn’t hear a difference but I didn’t play it too long. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think.  
A Nice repair story
That is awesome. I was talking with a guy in one of the FB high end audio groups and he is waiting over 9 months for a MC 500 to be repaired at the factory.  I’ll have to bookmark your post in case my MC302 ever needs attention.  Happy it worked o...
