| What country builds the best audio equipment? Transylvania. Be careful though, their stuff is so good it'll suck the life out of you. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? You guys got me to check out Moxy - Moxy S/T and Moxy II on Qobuz. I had never heard of them. Good stuff! | |
| How to upgrade "power cord" on turntable with wall wart? Save your money and get a speed control device. That turntable has the Speed Box SE baked into it. | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Ask big greg what he thinks of his Rythmik’s...his SVS SB 13’s are beasts too. Note that he is using 4 subs. Seems more is more better! I've been super happy with the Rythmiks. I like the servo system and Brian and Enrico have been helpful w... | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers Schiit has a 15 day return period (with a restocking fee). You could just order one and try it. Consider the return shipping and restocking fee a rental fee if you don't like it.Having said that, in general I don't care for tone controls. For h... | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge A Denon DL-301 MK II is a really nice cartridge. From a dealer they are $400. I saw one on an auction site for $300 - https://www.ebay.com/p/2302336364Having said that, why would you spend almost as much on a cartridge as the turntable? An en... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Reuben, back in the day it was so overplayed that I got sick of it, but I appreciate it a lot more now. | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? It's good to have headroom, and with a space that size, having multiple subs will help with that as will using larger more powerful subs. I have two Rythmik F25 subs and two SVS SB13 Ultra subs in my system. I'm really happy with the quality/ quan... | |
| How to upgrade "power cord" on turntable with wall wart? It might be worth looking into whether there's a U.S. voltage version of this - https://www.decoaudio.com/deco_audio_project_unibox_power_supply.html | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Gerry Rafferty - City to City, MFSL. Really quiet and good dynamic range. | |
| Is it all worth it? Uber, I go back and forth. I can't tell you how many times I pick up a record and am really disappointed by the quality of the pressing. Many times I've gone to the streamed version of the same recording and it sounds 1000 times better and there... | |
| Axe to grind know it alls I tend not to agree with the approach of just ignoring trolling or other inconveniences and pettiness we all find ourselves confronted with at various times during our lives.In "real life" I'm not bashful about shining a spotlight on inappropriate... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Yael Naim - nightsongs, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) Tried playing this song on the main system... I'll have to try it earlier in the day. Sorry neighbors! Sounded like my house was trying to tear itself apart. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? MSG was good too. I saw UFO twice, once with Schenker and Way, once without. One show was quite a bit less awesome than the other. On another note (no pun intended), the Pass phono stage is working out really nice. I have one of my least best cart... |
