I did the same as Don, but with CD players and power amps. I figured they were "all the same" and the high priced stuff was just over priced.
Then I did something dangerous. I actually listened to good gear and compared it head to head with the great gear. I found out in a hurry that I was dead wrong. There really is a difference, a difference you can hear. I don't know if Monster Cable is hype or not, but I'm sure not going to write it off or embrace it without an A/B listening test. I've done the same with ham gear. Many say the TS-830s is a great sounding rig. I had one, tried it, compared it to the K2 and promptly sold the 830s. People talk about how great the TenTec stuff sounds. I've had it (Corsair, Omni C, V, Century 22, 21, Argo), used it, loved it. Then I foolishly compared it (Omni V) to the 830s. Boy was that Omni harsh sounding. Omni went bye-bye, 830 took the main position on the desk. Then came the K2 ... Then the K3. - Keith N1AS - - SKCC K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Before the listening tests (many years ago), I could not conceive that a turntable base (all were good heavy solid construction) itself could make a great difference, I thought it would be mostly the tone arm and cartridge, but listening tests proved that to be false. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
