| Sub Decision I agree with @erik_squires. Integration is the key. And this is what Rel in known for. I used one Rel Storm 3 for years before upgrading to 2 S5's. The big consideration is to get the ones with enough power & size to fill the room. this was th... | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system Origin Live recommend a budget of 30% on turntable 30% on tonearm 30% on phone preamp 10% on cartridge I agree with that assessment.

| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? Thanks @stereo5 . It's good to hear that the break in is easy to live with. | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... @erik_squires Nice speakers. I m surprised that they supposedly go lower than the Watkins Gen 4 which I have heard. Watkins is the same man who developed the Watkins dual drive bass. The Gen 4's go down to 41hz. I heard them with no sub and I b... | |

| Origin Live Tonearm Won't Stay Vertical...Help. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish. I think you are trying to mount the arm. The nut goes on hand tight per OL's instructions. If the arm is pulling hard towards either side, then I would check t& make sure the TT is level. If ... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? “You’ll own nothing” — And “you’ll be happy about it.” Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. How many even know his name? Not that many. Yet, the WEF has called for the "Great Reset" Many still won't believe this. Some will. Another man sai... | |
