| Turntable Upgrade One of the main things I had found out when searching for an analog rig was that there are many avenues to explore to get great sound. I am not anti direct drive nor am I anti belt drive (as these systems seem to be the main ones) Also I am not li... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. Many here will ask questions similar to these? What do you think you are lacking? Dynamics, bass, soundstage etc, etc? What kind of music do you listen to? Would your speakers be close to a wall or can you have them out in the room? Stands? Are yo... | |
| Dusting gear and turntable Try the California (original)car dash duster for automobiles. It’s red and oval shaped. It’s what I use and it’s great. Around $12. | |

| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" I would add this. “A person’s hearing ability can totally wreck or make their audio system “. My gut feeling tells me that many audiophiles having hearing deficiencies but don’t correct them. | |
| Installed A Kiseki Black Heart Today. Lovely Cartridge There is an old saying. A bit overused and cliche but often true. “They don’t make them like they used to”. Seems like you put together a very nice analogy rig. I bet it sounds exquisite. | |

| Hearing Aids Jabra makes an OTC hearing aid for about $1700 on Amazon. I think the Enhance 300. Apple also makes one now. I have ReSound but they are expensive and the VA pays for them. You are correct, they help immensely. | |
| A little puzzled by my newly acquired Yamaha A-S801 The best integrated powerful amps I have had are Musical Fidelity M6500i and the Rogue Atlas magnum III. The Rogue is a tube amp, but it’s a brute at both ends of the spectrum. | |
| 2025 Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees Football, Rock HOF, UFC, sports of all kinds just does not interest me anymore. They are full of corruption and politics and ridiculous to the core. I would still attend a pee wee football game... that's usually fun. | |
| Has this ever happened to you? When you sit in just the right spot in the middle, that Bosewave radio is perfect. Musical Bliss! | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please From my perspective (which is low-middle income) I would make the drive once or twice to have a listen. Whichever dealer allows you “in home trial” and I think you said one would (and to be fair, at that price it’s not unreasonable to ask) I would... | |
