Apologies cagey but given your preferred choice of speakers and the fact you prefer an at95e over a ortofon 2m black . I forgot you existed.  In my humble opinion your speakers are masking the fact the at95e is fine until you hear a better cartridge and then it is garbage. All this from a man who has declared his HiFi is a disaster? Have you ever heard the Cyrus CLS70 speakers? If not, how do you know how they sound? Are you basing this on what someone else has told you to say? I also think that if you read my post correctly, it states I prefer the character of the AT95 and that the 2M Black can be too clinical. The conversation was based around a Shibata stylus upgrade on the generator, which incidentally is the base of some of the Clear Audio cartridges. For someone involved in law, you really seem to have difficulty understanding simple English. |

Remember I said I didn't know enough to take a view. I was just putting another side. I don't see RDs comments as as a million miles away at all. Like Mark Baker, he recognises in the quote that thin flexible cable is necessary for internal wiring but can be bettered as soon as it's practically posiible to change. Unlike your stance, he also recognises that whilst hard wiring is desirable in most circumstances, he is against it for tonearms. That's not the only time he's said it and it's certainly in direct disagreement with you, not only over hard wiring but also over the Desirability of using a different cable externally. Why be so certain there's only one way? I have great respect for J7 at Audio origami who also uses separate wires for the same reasons. Here's one of his rewires www.audioorigami.co.uk/archive/alphason-hr100-rewire/As I said, not everyone can use a very short lead, especially if they have a phono stage in their amp. Your initial claim about what is best was not limited to your circumstances involving very short wires. Many people who have a wealth of experience in tonearm rewiring feel that the thin flexible leads necessary for internal wiring are not ideal and do not protect the tiny signals well as more robust cables. Origin Live make incredibly good arms IMO and transform the stock Regas. Audio Origami (J7) works wonders with anything he's given and he's one of the most genuine guys you will meet. RD tends not to spout about stuff he doesn't understand and he's certainly no fan of marketing gimmicks. I just feel it's wrong not to at least recognise these views, hence my counterbalancing arguments. You seem to be relying upon a few audio myths . You claim is that transfer from thin to thick [ if hard wired ] is more beneficial in respect of sound quality not just logistics and practicality . How ? 1] How does transferring the audio signal from tiny wires to thicker wires protect the tiny signal ? This is intuitively nonsense. 2] I am in agreement that the transfer from thin to thick for want of a better phrase is practically better , we are on about sound quality .My system is entirely hard wired , i dont do practical . Once again, I am not advocating this but you don't seem to want to hear that part. I'm only putting the other side of the argument after your earlier pronouncement. Why so combative? Go argue with RD, J7 and Mark Baker if you want to act taht way. I'm not here for conflict. Again, im putting the alternate view but thicker screened cable is supposed to do a better job of keeping the signal intact. Remember we are talking tiny signals here. The cable inside the arm HAS to be so thin and also very flexible to avoid causing mechanical issues. It's not the best choice for signal transfer according to people whose opinion I'd take over yours any day. RD gives his own reason in the quote I pasted earlier which you seem to have either ignored or conveniently skipped over. You seem to think you can attack but not answer points that challenge your arguments. What about the fact RD says that hard wiring is wrong in this instance. Also his recognition that thicker cables are likely to sound better? He's disagreeing with you on both points. If you want an argument about your pronouncement earlier on in this thread, go tell him he's talking "intuitive nonsense" and good luck with that one! |

DQ can you keep it a bit more civil to other peoples systems Its okay to have a different view point and we value that

Alas I am certain your interpretation of what RD is saying is incorrect. Alas he is unable to confirm due to a rather silly ban. Perhaps mr baker can join.
By the way top quality obfuscation.

Another Yannis cable user here - the 428phono. I guess it's a good match for my tonearm (though I wouldn't really know), since the tonearm wire and the headshell leads are all silver also, and Yannis was a real pleasure to deal with. |

Alas I am certain your interpretation of what RD is saying is incorrect. Alas he is unable to confirm due to a rather silly ban. Perhaps mr baker can join. By the way top quality obfuscation. He has said it more than once. As a member of his forum you can go ask him. Here are his words again: Primarily I believe in hard wiring, but in the case of arm leads I go against that. I believe (especially in the case of suspended or decouple turntables) that the arm lead contributes physical characteristics to the system of arm and suspension, so limits or defines the usable cable. In this case it is my belief that it is far better to take the fine arm leads directly to a pair of phono sockets fitted to the plinth of the TT (because no one takes any notice of my SMA recs) and a earth terminal. Then non flexible and other physically challenged but maybe more musical cables can be used. This for me is one of the reasons the arm system on the PL71 works so well is that it does this. Where am I wrong? 1. Does he not say that he is against hard wiring on arm leads. Yet you are for it. How can he agree with you? 2. Does he not also say physically challenged (thicker and stiffer)but more musica cable can then be used once we are away from the tonearm? FACTS You are in favour of using one run of cable. You are in favour of hard wiring You can't use thick stiff cables in an arm or do you disagree with that too? That means using one run of thinner more flexible cable RD isn't in favour of one run of cable or hard wiring. Mark Baker who builds tonearms disagrees with you too. J7 who restores tonearms doesn't use the same run either. I pointed out that many would disagree with you. I posted links and quotes to back up that these people disagree with you End of. |

I am clueless as to the point you are trying to make .you make verbose posts based on others posts expect your confusing interpretation of what they say to be gospel ams when pressed simply say I know nothing.
If you have an actual point please make it concisely.

It's still too personal. DQ, please keep it on topic and stop with the side attacks.

Agreed. Dan...your better than this? This is a civil place mate, not many left! Arguing pedantics/ semantics is for schoolgirls and Lawyers. oh...  |

Arguing pedantics/ semantics is for schoolgirls and Lawyers. oh... Well I don't get it. I have worked subjectively in the legal system for nearly 35 years. I have had many meetings with lawyers to discuss cases etc, and I have never before found a lawyer who has the time to spout so prolifically on so many audio forums be they specialists in criminal or civil law. On the other hand, a poorly trained solicitors clerk with a very low level of work load and law competence might just have that level of flexibility. I don't know but what I say really does beg the question? I have read so many times DQ offering to represent RD etc in a sue law suit and nothing has ever been realised. So, nothing realistic or serious here. I regard DQ as a joke. I suggest the rest of you do the same. He is a nonsence inclined to disrupt forum continuity and progression. He has no interest in helping the basic enthusiast to achieve a good sound from their system. He just want's to spoil things for so many others. About time he was dispatched! |

It's not helping that you're doing what we've asked DQ to stop doing, Greg.
No more off-topic comments now please.

OK, Martin, appreciate that and apologies. I just feel so frustrated that although this forum is slow, it has so much potential and I want that potential to be realised, and for that to happen, it would be good to get rid of the Gremlins.

I understand your frustration, Greg, however it takes all kinds to build a society and this forum is a microcosm of the bigger world. I have found that I can get good information (and often humour) from every member here although I appreciate that different members rub each other up the wrong way on occasion. We are just sticking with our ethos and enforcing it only when necessary.

All this from a man who has declared his HiFi is a disaster? Have you ever heard the Cyrus CLS70 speakers? Unfortunately yes, and being quite candid they are truly grim and unquestionably dire. One for DQ sense of morals 'Not fit for purpose' |

Never noticed you before , MODERATOR: no more ad hominem please. Ta for the above though , it made me laugh. so he can say the above without moderation and i am censored for saying i found is minuscule contribution to be boring and somewhat incongruous with his advise on how to run the forum ? Go figure . |
