Beautiful work Fini. Very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my mother to lung cancer in 2003. It was a very difficult time, but I got through it. Be well. Tim

I have a small collection of 33 Heavy Metal LPs all in very good shape looking for a new home. I'm looking to barter for some jazz or classical. I purchased a bunch of boxes of albums at yard sales over the last few years and these are the albums I don't want. If no interest, off to Flea-Bay they go... Def Leppard - Pyromania Def Leppard - On Through The Night Def Leppard - Hysteria Van Halen - Self Titled Zebra - Self Titled Krokus - Headhunter Montley Crue - Shout At the Devil Skid Row - Self Titled Poison - Open Up and Say Ahh! Kingdom Come - Self Titled Bon Jovi 7800 Fahrenheit Kick Axe - Vices April Wine - The Nature of the Beast Dokken - Back for the Attack Dokken - Tooth and Nail ACDC - Flick of the Switch ACDC - Flici of the Switch - 2nd copy ACDC - Back in Black Scorpions - Love at First Sting Scorpions - Blackout Quiet Riot - Mental Health Judus Priest - Screaming For Vengeance Def Leppard - High and Dry Ratt - Out of the Cellar Dokken - Under Lock and Key House of Lords - Self Titled Scorpions - Animal Magnetism Guns & Roses - Appetite for Descruction ACDC - For those about To Rock Whitesnake - Self Titled Nazareth - Malace in Wonderland Nazareth -The Fool Circle Tesla - The Great Radio Controversy

You can improve the RB-5 IIs slightly by substituting a good speaker wire in place of those cheap bi-wire jumpers on back. It made a difference on mine. No Disc

The Sovteks are probably the best I'd suggest for rock, so never mind. No Disc

Scott, What do you not like about the 3.5 monos? No Disc ---------------- On 6/29/2005 8:56:23 PM scott0527 wrote: Good advice.

You can't beat the VPI for being able to very quickly clean a LP. Once you have one, you won't want to be without one again. No Disc

One thiing about all Wright products. Ole George Wright is old school and does not use polarized AC plugs. Make sure you have the plugs in correct. If not sure, listen, and compare with the plugs both ways before making final judgement. All my gear is Wright Sound so I've spend some time playing in this area and believe me it makes a difference. There is another way to determine correct polarity and van den hul has a document describing the procedure. You need a multimeter. If anyone wants it, I can email it to them.

I think the Signal Cable is shielded isn't it? The 777es responds well to a very good shielded power cable. I have not tried the Signal so I'm not sure. Checking for polarity. Just use the cheater plug, file off the polarity fins if you have to, and use it to plug your 777es in 180 degrees from normal. The soundstage will be much better one way or the other, it should be obvious when playing music. For me, with polarity incorrect, the soundstange is more forward, the music is dry sounding, and the soundstange is compressed. The correct polarity will yield the instruments and vocals being much further back, a sweeter and more appealing sound, and wide and uncompressed soundstage.

Of course they do. I agree he should post a wanted on Audiogon. ---------------- On 6/29/2005 6:58:50 PM mike stehr wrote: Doesn't Welborne have kits anymore? ----------------

Thanks. The important thing is the wife is totally cool about it. She is a movie freak like me, so it's our way to unwind. I don't care for crowded theaters much so we rarely go to theaters.. and why should we?

If you don't detect any difference with the triplepoints under your COMPONENTS, take 3 triplepoints and put them under each Cornwall. You WILL hear a difference, a big difference, and it should put a smile on your face if it does for yours what it did for mine. What power cord are you using with your 777es? Have you played around with reversing the polarity the the Sony using a cheater plug? It appear that some, if not all SCD-1s and 777es had reverse polarity. Correcting this should make a big difference. Easy way to find out. No Disc ---------------- On 6/29/2005 6:00:43 PM drefrank wrote: Thanks for the comments on my system. A few questions were posed and I'll try to answer all - if I miss something, please ask again. The rack is a Mapleshade Samson. I had to order it in a 'custom' height - 60" as I needed five shelves (didn't have the PS Audio Power Director at the time). I was very pleased with my experience dealing with Mapleshade - spoke to Pierre and Eldon both a couple times. The rack itself is very heavy -about 150 lbs. So when Mapleshade recommends you assemble it where it will reside, they aren't kidding. I had some reluctance about the cones on our new oak floor, but the rack looked so nice, even my wife was happy! I'd like to try the footers under my Cornwalls - maybe down the road. I am using some of Mapleshade's triplepoints, heavyfeet and heavyhats; to tell the truth, I don't really detect any change in the sound as a result. They are, however, interesting conversation pieces. Ditto with the Power Director 3.5. I know it was written up favorably in Stereophile recently, and I may have been over anxious when hooking it up, as I also hooked up 2 Signal Cable power cords at the same time. More a piece of mind thing as I previously had no surge protection. It does have some neat features such as sequencing the turning on of various components. Currently I'm running just the 10B and the Sony SCD-777ES (modified by Tube Research Labs)through the Model 7 preamp. The 9's are running in triode as they sound a bit more open to me. The Cornwalls are great. I just don't have the right room for the khorns but that'll be something to work on. ----------------

Don't exclude the Wright Sound Company amps. There is a pair of Wright 45s on Audiogon right now.... Probably too low output for my Cornwalls, but for Khorns, sweetness. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1123657196 No Disc

Yes, that's them. I give them a strong thumbs up as footers for Klipsch speakers. Danny Brown purchased a set for his Lascalas and loves them. I asked him to post comments. For components I suggest trying the Finite Element Ceraballs and Cerapucs.

That looks like mapleshade or timbenation rack. Both are custom made and fantastic looking. Been thinking of one of those myself, but decided on independant maple platforms. I also tried the brass footers on all my gear but found the finite element cerapucs to be superior on my gear. The brass footers work great under Cornwalls, that's for sure. No Disc

Mmm. Interesting. I'll have to try this with my SVS subwoofer which goes down to 16hz. The last good workout I gave it was the depth charges from watching U-571. Thanks for the link. No Disc

Rick, It might be worth it to check with Van Den Hul and see what it would cost. Based on what I heard last night the Monster was MUCH better than my already good Clearaudio wood, which is a $500-$800 cartridge. If you can get it re-built for $300-$400 range, I'd say it was a bargin. Tim

Oops, double post.

Here is what I dug up on the Monster carts... All of the Monster cartridges were designed by Hiroyasu Nakatsuka. The early designs were built by Namiki, but along the way, Nakatsuka founded his own audio company called ZYX, and the later Monster cartridges were made by ZYX. One AA member commented that his Monster Alpha sounds just like his expensive ZYX R 100. No Disc

Don't get me wrong here. I know how good analog can be. I've purchased more analog in the past years than I have digital. But to just stop on digital, it would seem to me, that AFs analog rig has totally outclassed his digital. At least to the point that the digital no longer does anything sonically for him. It does not have to be that way. I however believe, it won't be cheap to allow him to enjoy his digital again. At least that was the case for me. No Disc
