Audia flight protection mode
I own the Audia Flight Phono and have never experienced anything like the situation you describe. I would guess that there is either a short of some type on the output or a problem with the protection circuitry. 
Stylus force digital scales

Nordost New LE series speaker cables. Improved??
I find the new Leif BH to be a definite and significant improvement over the original version, but I have no experience with the Audio Art cables to be able to make a meaningful comparison. 
Nordost New LE series speaker cables. Improved??

upgrade advice from Sunfire CRM2 monitors
The System Audio SA2K monitors are a superb speaker that is not as well known as many of its competitors. I have never had the chance to compare them to the CRM2s, but having heard both at different times I would personally choose the SA2Ks over t... 
Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black
I moved into the Cadenza Bronze from an Audioquest 7000 which was an OEM model from Scan Tech, and known as being a bit lean but very detailed. Comparatively the Bronze has better dynamics along with a touch of warmth in the midrange and a sweeter... 
Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black
I find the Cadenza cartridges to be superb performers that are competitive well beyond their price points. I run the Bronze mounted in an Origin Live Enterprise arm on a Nottingham Dais table, and before I purchased it I discussed the differences ... 
Jeff Rowland Aeris or Bricasti M1?
The Rowland DAC reportedly offers excellent sound, however in its current release it has a couple of limitations that potential buyers should be aware of. First is that the USB input has a limit of 96KHz, so if you're planning on using it with a P... 
Anti-Static Brush
It's another OEM version of a Kinetronics brush commonly available in photographic stores like B&H. A slightly larger model with an extended handle with an optional ground wire is also available and sold as the Big Record Brush by Acoustic Sou...
