@HOTaljaard, for current production look at Genalex Gold Lion. The tube GlassAudio mentioned should be good and price is reasonable. The ECC81 I like a lot is the NOS Brimar. I bought some from Mark at Mingda UK for, I think, about 24GBP, really very good. I'm not sure what the above post is...

@chrisc Hi Chris, that sounds like fun and I would certainly like to attend but do not think it's possible right now. I have an appointment at the glaucoma clinic next week for suitability for selective laser trabeculoplasty and I'm also under self imposed pressure to finish the house. My wife...

@chrisc, I can do those but not very soon unfortunately. My wife and I are working flat out to finish our little stone cottage in County Limerick. I would be happy to send you cable or two and will let you know when I get a gap. The idea is to create kerb appeal to maximise sale price. The...

@Kemosabe, OK, all good mate. Do you sail?

I was not going to respond to this but WTF man, do you have a problem with reading comprehension? I was in Durban.

I bought a Sonus Blue cartridge from Lemmy David and Henry Song and got to hear some amazing sound but can't remember the components used. What I do remember though is the the time I heard a big Threshold amp driving Dahlquist DQ-10 playing Fleetwood Mac, That I remember

@Sproggit, I have found single ended to be generally superior and is where I've devoted most of my research. The one problem with balanced cables is few components are truly balanced with some achieving pseudo-balanced via opamps. Also finding XLR connectors that perform at the level of the RCAs...

@hendrikvr, "an interconnect cable needs to pass an audio signal from one component onto another component and it should do this without modifying anything in the signal." Yes, I absolutely agree with this statement, otherwise it would be acting as a filter. When people say: "use this cable...

@AlleyCat I like the stuff you are listening to and thought you might enjoy these. This first album has turned a few of my mates onto jazz. Steve Gadd on drums. Something all drummers strive for is independence between their left hand and right foot. Apparently Gadd can take a pen in each hand...

@hendrikvr, Apology accepted. Yes I agree there was not much time but thought if you were nearby it could be managed. The low noise floor of the cable takes only a minute to hear. This is not the first time I have said I would take you up on the challenge, only this time with limited time...

@hendrikvr, hello good Sir, you're exaggerating. A simple reply to my offer to let you listen could have been a polite "I live too far away and there's not enough time" I would have understood. I of course have no idea where you live I had no baggage to collect, it was on it's way to Dublin and...

Hey guys, perhaps if this troll is starved of responses to his relentless ******** he might just shrivel up and disappear. Don't feed the troll! How about this from another with the same pathetic attitude but with money to throw around to reinforce his stance? Some of you may have read the...

There is no mention of any room treatment in your post. A lively room will be bright with the sound taking a long time to decay and if you have no treatment you could experiment with some temporary placement of a couple of mattresses especially at the first reflection points. It is difficult to...

@KenMasters, you have a very abrasive and obnoxious on-line demeanor. Fact. Here you berate the OP for what he claimed was an improvement. Yet below you in fact do exactly that! Who appointed you as forum policeman. You insult the members here insinuating that we are not capable of making...

If you say so, sailor out.

No, your photo is not showing a Vibrapod. You clearly do not know what they are. What you display are not like the link : http://www.vibrapod.com/vibrapod.htm

Your assumption is right here. I'll be in JHB Tuesday 16th April. Arrive 1615 Depart 1935 Not much time, can you make it?

@KenMasters, you obviously haven't tried them. I suggest you do. At their price you are not risking much. I have not yet tried Vibrapods under speakers yet but know of some who report improvements. Having heard what they can do I believe them and very happy I discovered how useful they are.

@hendrikvr, How do you know that my cable does not comply?

@prossouw, Hi, my phone was stolen but you can temporarily contact me on 0825694332. Today is a good time for me but maybe not you so lets have a chat. I'm in Montpelier Place. Ask to speak to Charles
