Speaker Suggestion for Audio Research VSi75
I have a VSi55 in my office with Harbeth Super HL5 Plus.  Sounds fantastic and doesn't take up too much space.  I use a subwoofer with them.  Until recently I also used it with Focal Electra 1008 BE speakers and that was a nice combination.  They ...

TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
@kren0006 My NT-505 has been perfect since I ran a CAT-8 cable to it.  I did not notice much if any difference adding the CG-10M.  You might be wasting your money.

Jim,  I bought a big pile of them recently,  mostly NM-. 
Integrating a wifi turntable into my existing Chromecast Audio system
The Puffin is a phono preamp. I'm sure it's not the only option. 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
Raul, I use the Technics for used records and have a VPI Classic 2 with a Classic 3 tonearm (no damping). With cartridges that cost about half of what the one on the VPI does, I would say the sound quality is close to 95% of the VPI. I like being ...
