Clearaudio Reference Turntable
VPI JMW Memorial Arm
Walker Proscenium Gold Signature
HP loved the Clearaudio Reference
Turntable with the Clearaudio/Souther
arm and Clearaudio Insider phono
cartridge,with special mentions to the much
more affordable Crown Jewel cartridge ($2650
for one of the fifteen per month hand-made in
Japan) and to the VPI JMW Memorial Arm, and
agrees with us that the AHT Non-Signature Phono
Stage is king of the hill.
On the digital front, HP has been as taken by
the Genesis Digital Time Lens as we
are,turned us on to the Vibraplane air isolation
platform in the first place, and is hip to the
ProGold contact treatment, and the
Nordost Eco anti-static spray (great for
CD's and cables!).
PB feels the Walker Proscenium Gold
Signature turntable is the best in the world,
the Morch DP6 uni-pivot arm is underated,
the Benz
any-moving-coil-cartridge-re-tipping-service is
good value at $750, and the Top Hat tube
tuners are a must.
AB thought the Purist Proteus
interconnects and the Synergistic Research
Reference speaker cables to be award-worthy,
while AT was impressed by Cardas's Golden
Cross, and Nordost's Red Dawn cables,
finding the extremely low capacitance Red Dawn an
especially good match for Best of '96... passive
preamp the "Passion", from Audio
Synthesis, and MB especially liked the
power line impact of the ESP "Essence" power
cords, and the Electraclear EAU-1 line
conditioner.
