Thoughts on a new tube amp for high end rig? The last piece!
If the Wilson speakers he owns now (upgraded or not) are typical of most Wilsons of yore then some pretty healthy impedance dips are to be expected. For OTLs, low impedance loads are not a desirable pairing. Having said that, Atma MA-2s were speci... 
Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure
@decibell Your post is a model for why fora like these should exist. Anyone who owns one of these machines should be grateful that someone (you) was ambitious and tenacious enough to tackle such a problem and then "bother" to post about. No snarki... 
Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
@larry5729  I'm not going to bother going to the REL site to check but I would be highly surprised (to put it mildly) if the T9/i puts out 300 "class A" watts.   
Ayre Codex vs. Lampizator Amber II
News flash...NJ isn't the only state where "probabably" is considered to be a new word. Come to think of it, the phrase "half a sissy" is a bit of a head scratcher as well. And, what the hell...what are "SPs"? 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
@bacardi Gee, I guess this means that a bunch of those fantastic CPT cords/filters that were "...never going to come out of your system..." will now be coming out of your system and hitting the GON to find their new homes. 
belt ? or Dental Floss for turntable
When I bought my TT from Lloyd Walker 23 years ago it came with several homebrew dental floss belts and they worked just fine. Then I got wind of belts being made of a silk like ribbon material and I tried that. Sonically, I find them interchangea... 
False Advertising
@mofimadness If the seller had enclosed the missing items and had done nothing untoward, I see no reason why he wouldn't respond to the buyer  and why he would, all of a sudden, disable his email address as used during the transaction. Just sayin'. 
Question for EBTG fans.....
Similar to what I hear when I spin the "The Sopranos" soundtrack CD. The second cut is R L Burnside singing "It's Bad You Know" and it sounds like a scratchy old vinyl LP was purposely sourced for the recording. Here, too, I feel it was an intenti... 
Is ELP turntable dead?
One currently listed for sale here by, I believe, by High end Broker. 
Just wanted to share that I got a new reviewing gig with Six Moons.com website
In light of this development, what is to become of the Jays CD2 MK 2 review? I kept looking for it but never found it. Did it/will it get published? 
Why Sinatra???
Not that Deano was a toad or anything but I think the "Betties" were, simply, more smitten with that oh-so-cute face from Hoboken. 
Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane
I have posted on this general topic before. I started out with the Hex (running SPDIF to transport) and "moved up" to the Pavane II a couple years ago. Subtle improvements in detail extraction and info retrieval were the yield. IMO, the Hex repres... 
Do you listen to equipment or music.
Yes 
Can I use the Walker Audio precision motor controller with the Avid Volvere turntable?
Bought my Walker speed controller "preowned" to pair with the Walker TT and, so far, it's bullet proof. I've had my table since 1996 and have never had a single issue with it other than those of my own stupidity/doing. Like others have mentioned, ... 
How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer
