| Referent point What does this post even mean? What reference? Just buy what sounds good to you....who cares what anyone else thinks is a reference. The only reference that exists is what someone heard with their own ears at a studio....remember, the sound was be... | |
| American Audio I'll stick with my UK stuff...well except my Border Patrol dac.. actually, it is designed by a Brit, but built here.... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable Why don’t you just fix what you have? If its just a terminal, cut back a small amount to fresh wire and solder or crimp it back on. I must have like 3 soldering irons and 5 crimpers laying around...honestly, anything beyond say audioquest type 4 a... | |
| Aged components / service!? If it ain't broke, don't fix it....thats been my motto. | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? Seldom mentioned is the Jensen SUT. The mc-2rr-L @about $600 is a very good one. This version is a 1/10 ratio with an impedance of 430 ohms, which is what the cartridge will see. It is a great SUT for both the Hana el/sl or the denon 103. It is ma... | |
| Is it ever enough? Yup, if the recording sucks, or a particular pressing sucks, I don’t care how much you spend on your system...it will still suck...no truer words were ever spoken...people in this hobby need to eventually come to terms with their income/budget...e... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear No thanks, however beautiful and well built, I'll keep my sorry ass sugden and tannoys...maybe someday I'll buy a Linn Sondek turntable and call it a day. | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 In my honest opinion, beyond a certain point, it is pretty hard to hear a discernable difference between numerous well constructed turntables at a moderate price level. I do not think these uber expensive decks bring as much to the "table" as one ... | |

| APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE Apple sucks, buy a Samsung Android phone....I've owned Apple iPhones, and they all have had issues. They are difficult to use with usb storage media without buying additiinal proprietary Apple gadgets to make it work. The battery life also sucks, ... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Lots saying that Marantz cd players suck! Bull....they make some very nice cd players and have won awards year after year on s few...my marantz hd cd-1 is a very nice player, however I run it into a Border Patrol r2r dac with a tubed power supply.... | |
| Question on Denon DL-103 retipping options and preferences Imo, the Hana el is the new 103...its been mentioned in that light a few times. $449 seems a reasonable price for a very good LOMC. It generally has the same needs as the 103, as it too has a decently high internal impedance of about 30 ohms. It w... | |
| Bi Wiring Speakers from Luxman L-509X That’s how marantz recommends to connect when bi wiring....A for low frequency driver, B for high frequency driver....or vice versa.....there is no detriment...on my sugden, it only has one set of speaker outputs. I use both spades and bananas on ... | |
