| 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. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference All you really need is the Musical Fidelity v90 dac. It sounds amazing for the price. | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? Lp gear shows that cartridge to be discontinued, how were you able to buy one? I own the 97xe and like it a lot. Sold my extra, regrettably. | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? Some find the m97xe to be better. Those are going for 400 to 500! I have one and love it. I have much more expensive MC cartridges but I find that the shure still sounds darn good for what it is. It was only around 87 bucks back in the day, before... | |
| What's Up? I've had my basic border patrol for several years now...seems to do the job for me. No reason to change it out, as it sounds analog and musical. Built like a tank to boot. | |

| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Because posting on here is prehistoric really...the whole system needs to be revised. I can’t even attach a pic! I tried my best to post my system, but I could honestly care less really. I’m not on here all that much anyhow. I occasionally pop In ... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? A border patrol dac is all you need, if you like your music to sound more warm and natural. Takes the nasty edge off of red book cd playback. Loving mine. | |

| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition That’s a freaking down payment on a house! Who in the he$$ can afford this stuff?? Not me.... You can go to Thomman USA and buy yourself a brand new Thorens TD 1500 for what amounts to $1850 US dollars! ($2999 if bought in US). It is a suspended ... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? I can almost guarantee you that Noone in a blind listening test could determine if your amp is on the floor, a cheap wobbly stand, or an outrageously expensive rack. Additionally, noone will be able to ascertain whether the amp is supported via sp... | |
| Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring I ran 50 feet of 12 awg romex connected of course to a 20 amp dedicated breaker at the panel. The other end terminates at a Audioquest NG Edison receptacle. I use two power strips, a Audioquest Niagara 1200 (connected via AQ Z3) and a Furman PST-8... |
