| Morrow MA1 or MA2 Cables I'd say there will be no betterment with those cables. I'd also say that the Blue Jean cables have probably taken you as far as you can go. | |
| Considerations prior to your next purchase Public school strikes again! It’s immediately apparent that you are educated beyond your learnin’. You aren’t qualified to judge a set of speakers but you are qualified to judge everyone over 50? You are either a troll or foolYou'd better go play ... | |
| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels I’d like to see the screw after it is applied. Its unclear what is taking place but I suspect @ millercarbon & @ oldhvymec have some good points | |
| Power I have the Equi=Core 1800 MK2. Typical on sale @ $1395. However they make a 1200 & 600. It depends on system size and power needs. https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/equicore | |
| Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster? Point taken @ mijostyn. The high value of the TT and its 90 lb weight direct my choice. The ones I suggest fasten directly to the wall. The longer standards you offer have more adjustment and more bolts to hold it. But they also extend the loa... | |
| Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster? Another idea to go with is similar to @mijostyn has proposed. This is a different bracket system along the same lines. https://www.amazon.com/CUZURLUV-Shelf-Bracket-Max-Load/dp/B07VN219GV/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&gclid=C...I'll note that you MUST ... | |
| Buying used vs new? I agree about buying used being the way to go to get more for the $$. However I would reconsider units less than 1 yr old which do not have a transferrable warranty. I bought a used amp from a gentleman who had good feedback. I thought it was a go... | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? 1979, I bought a Harmon Kardon HK-730 receiver w/ Original large Advents and Technics TT w/ Teac 3 head Cassette deck. I still have the 730 which needs a good cleaning & restoration. It still has a huge sound. I wasn't really an audiophile the... | |
| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line Supply & demand. They were $15k when they came to mkt. Now after they have sold their target #, they understand its popularity and peoples desire to own it. So, they raise the price.Plus consider this. Sell 5 pr @ $15k= $75k. Sell 4 pr @ $19k ... | |
| Best sub for music, Another vote for Real. Excellent and easy setup. I considered the Hsu. Way too big. T series is good but S series is better | |
| Advice for upgrading my system FWIW, I thought your electronic were older than they are. My mistake. I also discovered a SS amp. I'm sold out to tubes, so I would recommend a good tube integrated. And if you get that bug you will see the need for those tube friendly speakers.Th... | |
| Advice for upgrading my system With equipment as old as these pieces, caps and a good cleaning is in order for the electronics. I agree with @pauly about tube friendly speaker with 93db efficiency as a min. Rel subs are the way to go because they also increase the sonic goodne... | |
| Step up transformer or upgrade phono preamp? I am not against SUT's when implemented by designer as part of the system. But that is a far cry from the typical consumer who buys a 3rd party SUT and installs it with their phono preamp because it doesn't have enough gain. I believe that boosti... | |

| Should I switch to a larger room? The measurements more closely align with the magic quotient of 1.6. Yours is 1.39. I'm not sure how much it means. But It may be worth a try. |
