| Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade? I’m curious to try the Elac alchemy ppa-2 and see if I notice an improvement to sound. Would I benefit from this upgrade? Yes. A good phono preamp is always a great addition IMO. this one will apparently be good for the TT upgrade as well. | |
| Those that upgraded from Tekton The biggest problem I see with the Salk is their 86db efficiency.. Your 48 wpc amp will have a big load on it. | |

| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley @soix In light of all the things I have mentioned, you have addressed NONE of them, instead putting forth theoretical rhetoric. We live in a real world. in this real world, the gas has either doubled in price or it has not. Hamburger ha... | |

| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? the rate increase has nothing to do with audio equipment! mostly on buying homes!! How do you come up with these ideas? If the rates go UP, the Mfgs,& the home buyer pay more for borrowing $$$. That m... | |
| Better sound on rainy days? @mahgister My 1st car was a 1958 Ford with a 312 T Bird motor. It had a hood scoop which had an emblem which was just a styling cue. However, I knocked out the emblem and installed screen wire in its place. It was then a real hood scoop. On a r... | |

| Are AI Equipment Reviews on the Horizon? The program does not taste the beverage it just writes a review. Isn’t that about what the measurebators on ASR do now? A machine listens for them and then they align their likes and dislikes according to a set or measurements which they believ... | |
