No recommending Solid Tech Audio Racks
I strongly recommend Solid Tech Racks of Silence for their sonic and aesthetic value. I’ve used them in my system for almost 20 years. They were originally recommended to me by Richard Hardesty, former high-end audio store owner and founder of the...

Questions re. use of an Innuos unit with a Tambaqui
Hi, thanks everyone for the feedback so far! Maybe I’ve presented my initial inquiry/outlook in a muddled manner, my fault. To be clear, a better way for me to consider and make my choice would be to approach it as- if I were ONLY buying a compo... 
Perfect Vinyl Forever
I’d also add that from a source mentality perspective, optimizing the choice/condition of the musical format/piece of media used in one’s system, in this case one’s LPs, is obviously a good - even a crucial- place to dedicate one’s attention and f... 
Perfect Vinyl Forever
This doesn’t address the original poster’s inquiry as much as it does the rationale for spending the money on a service like PVF rather than buying one’s own machine, cheap, mid-priced, or a high end model. I’m not personally endorsing PVF, howev... 
Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice
This is a followup to an ancient thread, but FWIW, having owned a lot of Ayre gear, including using an Ayre K-3x preamp with first a VX5E and then a VX-5 (over a period of about a decade), I've now had an Aesthetix Janus Signature (linestage/phono... 
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
Just sharing my thoughts here at this late thread date on the overall topic, as owner of an SME 20/2 model with the SME V arm and a Lyra Skala cartridge - I absolutely love it! And yes, I've heard other high-end tables in high-end systems. When I ... 
The Absolute Sound...Luxman D10X review.
Having owned this unit for a couple of months now, I'd agree with what aolmrd1241 said. Re. mqa discs, which the D-10X obviously can natively play, I've bought and listened to two of them- one a recording of works by shostakovich, lutoslawski, and... 
For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like?
I haven’t owned Vandersteens to-date but at this point am planning to get either Quatros or Kentos into my primary system, hopefully in the not-distant future. My primary system has had Vivid B1s for a few years now, and they’re friggin’ amazing ... 
You ended up with Ayre, what are your speakers?
I have had all-Ayre electronics at times (mostly early on in my audiophile journey), and systems mixing components, including an Aesthetix Janus Signature preamp now in my primary system, with an Ayre disc player fronting it (along with an SME tur... 
PS Audio or Ayre?
Re. Exron's comments about Ayre products, I've had excellent experiences with their gear over the years and dealing with their customer service, which is what I've generally heard about from others on various audio boards over the years. Re. Ayre ... 
Vandersteen Quatro CT
I owned Thiel 2.3s for a no. of years and have heard the higher-end Vandersteen models on a no. of occasions (sometime after purchase of my Thiels). My next speakers will be Vandersteen Quatro CT or Treo CT  (although I wish to check out the Golde... 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker
Hi, thanks for your review-Just wanted to know- how do the 1C's and Micro Walsh Talls compare w/ each other? It seems you're comparing a higher-model Walsh with a lower-model Vandersteen. I'm planning on spending 1K or less for speakers in a small... 
Re. available Police reissues on vinyl
Thanks, Srwooten for your response. I think I'm going to go w/ the A & M releases, partly based on your recommendation. 
Ayre K-5xe preamp? How close to K-1xe?
Vinyl IS a pain in the a**, but even so, and w/ potentially limited selection- it can take musical bliss to a whole new level. Even w/ my Linn LP12/Rega RB-600/Benz Micro Ace w/ stock cable set-up ($1500 w/ table being used), I can often enjoy lp'...
