| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... I’ve gotten a discount maybe 50% of the time....usually only 5 to 10% max.....some products prevent the dealer from discounting....the price is the price. | |
| Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020 I must be rich..one of my amps cost more that 3k...and that's considered budget in some minds...all relative I guess. Not much out there for 300 bucks, except a used something or other, and being old, potentially a headache. | |
| SUT for EAR 834p? Jensen makes the mc 2rr L 1/10 ratio for $715, can be had for $649 @ Cable Solutions. I own it and think it sounds nice. Here is a review... https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/jensen-mc-2rr-iso-max-moving-coil-phono-cartridge-... | |
| Why do hipsters prefer analog? Um, most listening to those formats, myself included, are old...so called hipsters just jumped on board cause its something new to them....I actively hunt down and buy vinyl, pre-recorded cassettes, 8 tracks, and even mini discs to this day. I fin... | |
| cheapest cable upgrade ever I don't care whether AQ's dbs works or not...I just like that it exists, lol...I'm not going to fret about it as I already bought a Thunder cable years ago and still in use...however, I must say that I think it made my system quieter....or maybe i... | |
| New Klipsch Forte IV Some of these horn speakers are not kind to older or poorer recordings. I have lots in my collection, and prefer more forgiving speakers. However, for the right kind of music, I bet they sound great. They look nice too. The loose binding posts is ... | |

| Looking for new/sealed blank high bias type II cassette tapes Yes, good luck finding them for 2 bucks! I've seen some on ebay in the 25-40 range! I bought many sealed cassettes of various brands, tdk, maxell, basf, realistic, etc....however, I'm hanging on to them. I don't have anywhere near 100 of them, bu... | |

| Speaker cable recommendations Can't go far wrong with audioquest type 4....audio advisor will make you a pair however you like. Balanced/neutral cable for not a lot of money | |
| DAC diminishing returns Love my border patrol r2r dac with tubed power section, all the dac I’ll ever need. Although, still have and use my Musical fidelity v90 dac to connect my topping bc3, my kenwood md1050 mini disc recorder, and my grace digital link streamer....all... | |
| What is your record cleaning regimen? Can't go to far wrong with a record Dr V and audiointelligence #6. Dry cleaning involves use of the audioquest carbon fiber brush. Light wet clean done with original dishwasher d4, red bottles, not the black! Another option for a quick wet clean... | |
| Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System I’m shocked at how good the Grace Digital Link sounds through my system. It not only provides internet radio, but also offers built in pandora, Iheart, Amazon music apps, and a few more...has a digital coax out which I connect to a v90 dac. For wh... | |

| How many speakers and AMPS do you own, and why? Great replies thus far! Most get the drift....an accumulation of stuff not being used, for say, in a second or third system some place else in the house. Just stuff for whatever reason you cannot part with.... For instance, I have 5 turntables, a... |
