| I woke up to 6" of snow Thankfully I have a propane stove, so I've stayed warm. My power came back on about 45 minutes ago but it's only at 92 volts so none of my equipment works, LOL. I guess I should be thankful for all the power conditioners I have. | |
| I woke up to 6" of snow Six inches of snow in the Northwest is usually not good. Temperatures often get warm enough for some of the snow to melt and then it gets frozen at night and turns to ice. There are also a lot of trees here. The branches get full of snow and break... | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! Some good points. I've had my Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood retipped twice, once by Soundsmith and once by Andy Kim. In both instances it seemed to perform and sound the same, but of course time passed and my audio memory isn't that great. It's true d... | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! @chakster Can you expand on why you would suggest someone should buy a used cartridge over a retipped cartridge? | |
| I woke up to 6" of snow Mine was sounding good until the power went out in the middle of a record. | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! I've used Andy Kim. Very happy with his work. | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? That amp is a beast and your speakers should be able to dig pretty deep. I'm surprised you're not getting the bass response you'd like. | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? Your speakers aren't the problem. What are you using for amplification? Have you considered adding a subwoofer (or better yet two)? | |

| Compare OPPO BDP-105 to Anthem D2 on DAC. My impression. What is yours? The Oppo is a great piece at its price point, but it's designed to be an audio swiss army knife - it's good at a lot of things, but not particularly outstanding at any. | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? Headphones can have bass slam, but it doesn't compare to the sound quality or sensory impact of sound waves interacting with your entire body.My high end headphones and headphone amp don't come close to producing the slam and impact of my Legacy A... | |
| Purchase advice: Old turntable vs. new.... Vintage direct drives can sound really nice. I have a Realistic LAB 440 and just picked up a JVC QL-Y66F, which is a pretty large table. From what I've read, neither are in the same league as the GT-2000, but I can give a comparison of the QL-... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana I'm listening to Mercury Rev's Bobbie Gentry's the Delta Sweete Revisited on Tidal this morning through headphones and it sounds really nice. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Some Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense and Remain In Light. | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I'm not sure if this has been touched on, but there's no reason you can't combine separates with your integrated. I started out with a Peachtree Nova 300 in my computer room which includes a great DAC, phono stage, and headphone amp. You can als... |
