| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? It is very likely it wont be as quiet in tube mode as in S.S. | |
| Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings? The best cartridge for rock will also be the best cartridge for classical. It can be no other way. | |
| What is your favorite cover? Satisfaction by Devo is up there. I saw The Melvins live and they did an incredible cover of Deuce by Kiss. Ella Guru by XTC. | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? Well I cant say that there were no others failures just not immediate requests for returns for noise problems. After this rather unusual event I did a search to see if this seemed to be a trend and other customers had reported the same problems. D... | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing Well the worst reviews I have ever read came from both Reichert and Serenius of Stereophile. The absolute worst reviewer whose work I have ever read writes for DaGogo. I think mirolab is correct in that many reviewers really have no clue about wh... | |
| Paper Based Speaker Cone Question I dont agree. Some of the best dynamic midrange drivers I have heard had base material of paper. As others have mentioned it is all about the design and implementation. Rarely is one design always better than another is this hobby. With Ohms ... | |

| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? Exactly my point. Thanks! Because of course anyone who spend (insert amount) is gullible and thus an audiophile. Dont get you started on tweeks and cables right? | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? Why do we even need to separate the gear from the experience? One would need to get into the mind of another enthusiast to really know their motivations. This is all just a huge spankfest and it is a total waste of time. Such conversations are pro... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? Who cares is absolutely correct. If you dont spend enough, according to some, you are not an audiophile. If you spend too much you are not an audiophile. I like music and I like the way a better system brings me closer to my music. Call me what yo... | |
