| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. I think budget components that sound extraordinary fascinate me more than ridiculously over priced hifi. | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k Clearly it would also have to be the Linn Sondek LP-12 majik, if still available under 5k last time I looked it was about 4300 bucks, most likely now more with inflation. | |
| Turntable - The Next Step Go one step further with a moving coil and add a SUT. I’m using a Jensen mc2rr-L with a Hana EL into the moving magnet input of my phono preamp in another set up. Sounds fantastic. Another option for an upgrade to turntable would be to look into ... | |
| Turntable - The Next Step I'll second the Music Hall MMF-7.3. It's a fantastic turntable for the money. To me, the Ortofon 2m Bronze it comes with is one of the best cartridges I've heard at that price point. It does everything right in my book. I have the MMF-7.3 In walnu... | |
| SUGDEN MASTERCLASS FPA-4 Class A amp I think you would be fine getting the Sugden A21se Signature pure Class A integrated amp. It is 30 watts @ 8 ohms, 40 @ 4 ohms. Unless of course you are stuck on seperates. I don’t understand the question about is the Sugden "high end"? Who can sa... | |
| Why do I like Class AB better than Class A? I would trade it in for a Sugden. | |

| Power Conditioning on the Cheap The Furman PST-8, for the money, is very good. You mentioned the PST-8D, be advised that that model is dedicated to digital sources only. I’m not certain if you are aware, Garth Powell is the designer of the Furman PST-8. He used to work at Furman... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality So the often maligned audioquest DBS system may not be bunk after all? I like what my audioquest Thunder power cable does. It seems to increase (slightly) the dynamics of my system. It also seems more quiet. I use it in combination with other audi... | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? No, it does not exist. As someone else said, if not in recording its not going to happen. There are so many recordings and all are different. Some sound terrible, some acceptable, and some sound fantastic. There are some older analog lp's that wil... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier My Sugden A21 is only 30 watts driving speakers rated at 89 db. Plenty loud! Class A is amazing. | |
| Grounding cable gauge size If there was ever a snake oil product, that is it. You are not going to hear a difference in ground cables. It is either grounded or it is not. The reason the ground cable provided with some turntables is super thin gauge is because it prevents a ... | |
| Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift I have the little fwend on my Technics Mk7. It's the dj model of the little fwend made to fit the technics. Super quality and works very smoothly. | |

| Best budget turntable? Why not buy him the Technics MK7 for $999? It’s cheaper that the 1500 and looks better, at least to me. I think it silly that they got rid of the strobe platter on that 1500 model. Put a Shure M97xe on the MK7 and away you go. Although, now you wi... |
