| Thinking to replace my phono We are getting into preference here but I tried both the Kansui cartridge and the Zesto phono and didn’t love either one. I found them both to be very relaxed sounding, too much imho. | |
| Just another Orange fuse thread George is absolutely right. | |
| Putting speakers next to other speakers Actually it’s the opposite, the more random crap you put into a room the better it sounds. | |
| Novice question Don’t bother spending spending money on cables beyond a properly constructed set. Unless you want to sit there and delude yourself like all these other audiophiles. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Wolf is bang on as usual. Miller is full of .... as usual. | |
| Which is the most important part of a stereo system? I’d say speakers then source then pre then amps | |

| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? How much are they? | |

That’s just the distributors screaming to try to justify their intense markups. Which again begs the question, if everybody supposedly hates these gray market guys where... | |

| SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps Horses for courses. | |
| How Good Can My Vinyl Get? I think your cartridge is decent I would go with the phonostage |
