| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? Im sure most of us are guilty of many of these practices. Marketing and salesmanship are just that whether at the retail level or secondary market. | |
| Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp The Lamm 2.1 deluxe phnostage is considered by many to be the very very best so start there (used) and then get your turntable. | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? @jaytor I think they do that cause the final sales price is usually not asking price so it covers them and takes that expense completely out of the equation. | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? Dealer ads have taken over Audiogon. Most ordinary citizens sell on US Audiomart. | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? I just purchased an LP from 1959 Porgy and Bess ( Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte) as it was recommended to me by my good friend Steve Guttenberg and it’s phenomenal. 62 year old used vinyl in stereophonic sound and it sounds like these two two bri... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I own the podiums. Put them under my Harbeth 40.2 which sit on top of Tontrager stands. So the strands are on top of the podiums. I believe the favorable impact which in my case is not subtle is dependent on the environment they placed in - your r... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for... How do others think about Soundsmith? The Paua mkII or even their Hyperion. | |
| Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio I demoed the 9.5 at someone’s house and wasn’t impressed TBH. Played like a box. But gorgeous construction. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @lowtubes. Well that’s all fine and good. I do have audiophile high end EQ’ed hearing aids (that’s a whole other thread on here) and I think my tubes were pretty good to begin with which may be why. And the other issue is that there was a lot of... | |

| Looking for a new phono preamp If your parameters for a phono preamp are solid state and budget $2500, then I can’t say enough great accolades about Logan “Ron” Sutherland and his designs which at that price point would be the 20/20 with the upgraded separate LPS. No bs, no fa... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @lancelock Those were my exact thoughts - how is this going to work. It may just be the most perfect union of mat and record weight because the favorable impact on the sound was quite noticeable. So the hexmat works as an isolator suspending the... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @audio2design Yeah so I’d say the biggest bang for the buck is clearly around turntables and speakers for sure. The Townshend podium under my harbeths was a revelation albeit an expensive ticket for entry. The fact that vibration control works und... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @rsf507 Very cool! I have not taken it out of the system since I was done experimenting maybe 2-3 months ago. I guess I should!! Btw when I told my dealer I wasn’t sure if I heard a difference or an improvement, he said buy another, but two more... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict OMG I can’t believe I forgot two additional tweaks! Too bad you aren’t allowed to update at least the original post. Anyway for those that are following my (mis)adventures, I bought 12. Cardas audio rca noise cap covers for my preamp. Can not tell... |
