can anyone tell me if they are still in business? I've emailed and phoned and gotten no answer. wanted to buy one to replace mine that sold.

i guess we're not going to get those pictures of the SOTA factory?:-)

yeah, be careful for sure. i twisted the wires inside my amp and had to get it repaired. it ain't a nice feelin'!

ah shucks! i was there, too, and missed the chance to see the hero himself, as well as new amp goodies. next time, we should be notified!!

do all the mit cables have the boxes now? mine didn't, but that was a few years ago.

yeah, i had some mi330 cables that i used quite a long time. i liked them for their warmth. i was talked into some more revealing cables, which were not so romantic, which i missed.

i have used these ics for 220 records, so far. they seem detailed, but not edgy. i'm happy with them. of course, my cartridge, tt ,amps, and speakers are all chosen not to be bright.

i live near vancouver. i have an hd600 and a head otl. now there are three here!

i am honestly trying to figure out why some people keep telling us we don't hear a difference. are they really trying to convince us that what we hear, we don't? or are they trying to tell others not to listen to us, and not to listen to their own ears? it seems to me, that if one doesn't...

why do people want to convince some of us that what we are hearing, we are not hearing!

i hope this is the right place to put this in. i just tried a zcable power cord on my audible illusions m3 preamp, and was amazed to find that the difference was comparable to replacing my ics with analysis plus. so i got two more for my quicksilver monoblocks and it made even more difference...

that's an opinion!!

wow, that would be really fun to see the sota factory!

i have a sota nova, which has a pump to suck the record down for a quieter background. i just had to send it in for fixing and upgrading, which meant a month or two using a used kenwood tt, which was quite nice, considering the difference in price. in my opinion, only vinyl gives music; digital...

many people, including me, like grado cartridges very much. they have a very natural, easy-to-listen-to presentation. i've owned six, and now have the reference sonata. but the cheap ones are also nice -sounding. just my opinion.

obviously, that would make the music upside down!

so now are you telling me i should care about what direction is recommeded? and if so, should i spend the $50 to get new, unbroken-in ones? ( they also have locking ends.)

wow! a happening! how appropriate! god was enjoying himself!:-)

or maybe the music would play backwards. or maybe we'd have to turn the stereo off at the beginning and on at the end! all sorts of horrible possibilities when one tampers with manufacturers' directions! we can't have anarchy in our music! except john cage or darius milhaud.

thanks for the advice. no one wants to be wrong alone!

i just bought analysis plus oval nine speaker wire and copper oval in interconnect. the directions on the interconnect said to point the arrows toward the preamp, because it's all supposed to be grounded there. however, the cable sounded like it was really working to get the sound out,with no...

hi. in anticipation of receiving the six pack to listen to, i ordered the two pair of el84s nick recommended, and today with great anticipation went to try them out. i couldn't figure out why they looked so big as i tried to put them into those tiny sockets, until i looked at the boxes and found...

i used some sorbathane ones once and they melted around the tube.

where one likes to sit in a concert hall affects which cables one likes in his stereo system, too. bright cables for front of the hallers and recessed for balcony. actually, i find that the good sound location can vary from hall to hall. i like a seat further back to let the sound come together...

stick different thicknesses of cotton in your ears.
