| Question about acoustic panels You are on right track with the thickness, as thin panels only treat high frequencies. 6" panels would be even better. However, you can attain, (to a degree), a better sounding room by just using common furnishings such as pillows, throws and blan... | |
| Looking to replace a CD transport... Yes, the Cyrus CDt....1299.... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. What is wrong with the 2m Bronze? Did you pair it with a tubed phono stage? That is what it likes and needs. I’ve done so and it is superb. Aside from that, maybe you should try an ortofon Cadenza moving coil, wait, you said you don’t like Ortofo... | |

| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants I have big A$$ Tannoys In my medium sized listening area and they sound great. Little to no room treatments to speak of, but room is well balanced with furniture and acutraments. Speakers towed In quite heavily, and they are concentric drivers, so... | |

| Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203? I own an oppo 203, bought years ago when the price was normal. It is used primarily in my modest home theater set up. I’ve often thought about selling it for a crazy inflated price, but I can’t let it go. It just plain works so well, and my hd/4k ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended Very few products even have balanced connections, at least the ones I’m interested in or happen to own. I tend not to stress over it. I’m not about to change out my Amp, dac, turntable, etc...just to gain maybe a 1% difference in sound quality. Ho... | |
| All New Furutech PROJECT V1 Power Cable The New KING Of Power Cables ?! There is a lobotomy available for anyone crazy enough to buy this $8k cable. Although those with deep pockets equate this purchase to buying a pack of M&M's. | |
| Did I ruin my cartridge or my stylus? Or both? You should invest in a 10x jewelers loupe. It enables you to see the stylus much better. I say 10x as it is still relatively bright. The higher magnifications limit the available light. I'd say that upon inspection, and no visible damage seen, I r... | |
| finding the weak link What is the perceived deficiency? You do not say. What is it you are trying to improve upon? Seems like you just want to throw money at something...not a good thing. | |
| Speaker Pairing for Sugden A21SE Well done! Get the marshmallows ready, she runs hot! Now I would highly recommend that you pair your Sugden A21se to some Tannoys. Mine is paired with the Tannoy Legacy Eaton standmounts with sensational results. Using a dual run (bi-wire) of Audi... | |
