Best modern tonearm for AR ES-1
Thanks to you both for the suggestions. I've also seen recommendations for modded Regas, like an Origin Live modded RB250. Supposed to be better than a stock RB300. 
Fix up my old AR or get a new table?
Yes, I kick myself in the pants every time I think about not biting the bullet back then and sending in my ES-1 for the full Merrill mods. Easy to say that now, but back then money was an issue. It's just too bad that his company stopped doing tha... 
Fix up my old AR or get a new table?
I've found a bit or two on AudioAsylum tonight; I'll keep looking. Yes, Merrill offered a bunch of mods to the AR tables. Like an idiot I didn't buy any of them at the time. Merrill stopped offering those mods a while ago. Well, the only excuse I ...

Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
To all, I'm relieved to report that my tinnitus is gone. I suspect that the head trauma that I reported back on 2-3-05 really was the cause. I noticed about 1-1/2 months ago that my ears were no longer ringing. And on visits to the Kimmel Center a... 
Need long ICs that sound like KCAG
Woops! I see Signal Cable also has a silver offering. Still very affordable. 
Need long ICs that sound like KCAG
Loonytunz, I toyed with the idea of going with the short IC / long speaker cable option, but I've tried longer speaker cables in the past (in another home) and have not been happy. It may have been a poor choice in speaker cable, or maybe my speak... 
Need long ICs that sound like KCAG
Jond, thanks for your suggestion of the RS Cables. After I made my original post I checked some of the messages here in this forum and ran across them as a good mention, as well as Pure Silver Sound and Oritek.I would like very much to hear a summ... 
Need long ICs that sound like KCAG
Interesting option, Loonytunz. I had considered building my own, as I am reasonably competent with soldering tools. But I had not known about this source for materials.What troubles me about the long ICs that I need are two things: will an unshiel... 
EAD prepro: how's the analog passthru?
Eric, are you describing the 2 channel audio through the A/D-D/A path, or through the analog bypass path? 
Anyone try APC's conditioner?

Anyone try APC's conditioner?
Thanks for the correction! 
Anyone try APC's conditioner?
I wonder why that is? And what APC will do to their audio series to eliminate that?
