| Tube Preamp - What to buy? CJ ET3se preamps are the newest entry level I can find. You can get a phono card for it from CJ. Then there is the older CT6. Both will serve you well. FWIW I have the CT5. Enjoyhttps://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649744606-conrad-johnson-et3-... | |
| Smaller Audio/Video stores- Free delivery service I suspect that the amount of $$$ spent determines free delivery. I can tell you from experience that the customer's expectations have increased a lot since I first entered business. Reasonable requests are not the norm. Often, the lowest pric... | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! I've been here for twenty years and it's always been similar to what you describe. As @hilde45 has noted, you need to know the players and which ones know what they are talking about. It's that way on every BB I go too. | |
| Just what percentage of digital artifacts removed And THIS is what you get with a Wav files or the original recording. Consider that a large majority of people are listening to mp3 through a phone. I have been surprised at how many in the younger gen didn't understand compression and its effect o... | |
| Question Focal Sopra2 pricing $5k increase yo $19 kin 5 years, vs Wilson Sabrina X, Didn't we just have this discussion? You should see what's happening to gas. That's a needed commodity. Or food...the same. Are you as upset about that? It effects us all? | |

| 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. | |

| 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... |
