| When does one know it's time to upgrade? @ghdprentice has given some good advice. Research, research research Upgrade the weakest link. Another upgrade is TUBED amp & preamp. But you will need different speakers. I have had SS equipment for 50 yrs and tried tube amp just to see what ... | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? Its been a liong time since I've owned a SS amp. But I'm pretty sure they had a break in period. Not that long but maybe a week at the most. AAMOF, burn in is the very reason many a'philes leave their amps powered up 24/7/365. I did. Thats the on... | |
| Major Contradiction, Can you replace foam surrounds with Rubber Surrounds on Speakers ??? Sure you can. They're yours to do as you please. Is it advisable? Probably not. Its part of the cone's suspension with different properties. Kinda like replacing a Ferrari's suspension. That can be done too. Will it be better? Probably not, especi... | |

| VPI Scout upgades? I'd also call VPI and ask them. They have a good upgrade path. If it is a newer Prime Scout, I see they have a platter upgrade and wiring upgrade for the arm. But do yourself a favor and listen to MillerCarbon. He is generally on target. Your phon... | |

| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com @calieng And everyone who thinks it was dumb to buy from China - get off your high horse and stop shopping at Walmart and Amazon then. They have singlehandedly destroyed western manufacturing and are the two great evils of western society. I agr... | |
| Choosing a MC phono preamp for my new cartridge @atmasphere Thanks. I may have asked this before, but do you teach? You have a knack for making things understandable. As One who is not at all knowledgeable about what processes take place in the equipment, I really appreciate your posts | |
| The Absurdity of it All @perkri I live with changes, adjustments, components in my system for a while so as to become numb to the changes. I need to hear the thing for what it is, what I like and what I dislike. That takes some time for my brain to shift to the new norm... | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? Do not listen to talk radio. said the propogandist. I've listened to Rush for yrs. Before that it was other talk radio. Plus I do my own research. If I still debated with libs, I'd gladly debate you on any political topic. But after spending many ... | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? Libs are Sooooooo gullible. Pandemic, Scamdemic. the CPP knows they have their allegiance, especially at the top where BIG $$$ is to be made. Go to 3:55 ’This is clearly more evidence you cannot trust the mainstream media’ - YouTube | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? @rushfan71.Yep. Gotta be true to the narrative or get cancelled. Lemmings just follow without asking. question. Then, their .Dunning Kruger makes them jump anyone who doesn't buy the narrative |
