| Audio / Stereo Rack I’d rather just use a piece of furniture that will accommodate what I have or at least most of it. Much cheaper, and the benefit in sound is pretty slight if not negligible to justify an expensive audio rack. I’m just using a sideboard typically u... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players Cyrus makes some nice stuff, I have their transport. Also have a Marantz hdcd-1 which is a good cd player as well as a transport. | |
| How serious are you? I don’t really get the question.....serious about what exactly? its just listening to music... | |
| Class A integrated amp recommendations This goes without saying...SUGDEN A21SE SIGNATURE.... | |
| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. Must be nice to have 25k just laying around to blow... I’ll keep my Thorens TD 1500 I got for just $1859 USD at Thomann USA. Same turntable is selling for $2999 in USA. It’s just one of 6 tables I own, did not need it but could buy 20 or more for... | |
| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? At least the Grace streamer supports pandora, amazon, Iheart and numerous others. Yea, not ultra hi-res, but I don’t really care about that sort of thing. For 179 dollars, the thing works perfectly. | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? Honestly, aside from offers, I don't see anyone buying anything really these days. Not here or ebay. I have brand new stuff listed at reasonable prices, but not much interest. Some watchers or tire kickers, but no one pulls the trigger. Must be th... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red I’ll bet they played football with it too at the warehouse before delivering it...they don't care about anyone's package. | |

| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage I keep it simple...I use both a Denon 103 and a Hana el. These cartridges are pretty close as far as what loading they require or is recommended (400 ohms). I use a USA made Jensen SUT into my tubed Tavish phono's MM section. Sounds Dann good to m... | |
| Cable elevators Unfortunately, most normal rooms do not allow the use of risers, as some of the cable is run or hidden under furniture etc. Plus the wife factor. It's bad enough she does not appreciate the equipment as is, wants her living room back... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? I'm a British audio guy, engineered, designed and made in the UK. Most of what I own is UK made. Yes, some of what I own, the ancillary equipment, is made in China, hard to avoid. | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? Just to add, it's also bull that it needs to be used in some super heavy tonearm. It will sound just fine in a medium mass arm. Have one installed on my thorens td 1500 with 14 gram arm, sounds good to my ears. |
