| Recommended cheaper vintage SS Integrated Amps? Many great choices out there including Sansui as mentioned. I feel of all my SS restored vintage integrated amps (20 or so) the Kenwood 7100 is the peach without breaking the bank.As long as a pre/pwr loop is not needed, it seems to make the best ... | |
| Help with turntable setup? I could understand a VTF (tracking force) discrepancy if your Concept Wood has the Concept/Verify magnetic tonearm as they are far from being dynamically stable. The other non-magnetic versions are much more stable. | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? Lots of great info & history here 👍FWIW, the TK850M would not fit the Technics 1200 but no doubt the 9” TK850S would as long as you could find one. Conical/spherical styli not recommended for shorter tonearms.As noted (& IMO), the Technic... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Sorry if I hijacked! Not meant to take away from Iris Dement!! There is just so much good talent out there. Growing up in Houston as a frequent flyer to https://www.mcgonigels.com/I’ve been forever ruined. I think Steve Earl said it best 😉 | |

| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Anyone run 2, 4s11 or a pair of them, (total 8 conductors)in shot gun form. If so I could order another set tomorrow. If 2 is better than one why not it’s only another $20 and can break them in together and be done with it.I was at a friend’s plac... | |
| New turntable: please help with cartridge selection: Ortofon vs Lyra vs Charisma vs Hana If you like the Benz Z’s sound, but with more frequency extension, I’d suggest sticking with Benz and trying the Gullwing SLR. A fantastic cart, with the fullness, "warmth" and sweetness of Benz, but with ample treble extension. The Benz LPS is li... | |
| Do you care about car audio? Lost interest after CDs took over.Concord & Nakamichi head units made it work for me - started with a Concord HPL 110 & called it quits after a Nakamich TD700. | |

| Top 5 recievers of the 70's and 80's ???? Nakamichi: SR3a👍 although I prefer silver faceplatesRadio Shack’s Realistic STA-2100 should also be a serious contender | |

| Top 5 recievers of the 70's and 80's ???? Fun topic for sure 👍I’m more of an Integrated collector but do enjoy a Marantz 2330 (restored by Many Moons Audio) that should qualify. Beautiful looking single year (1st gen - 1979) production that, I believe, all featured engraved faceplates. Lo... | |
| VPI Scout upgades? The scout is a tough table to beat for the money without question.Couldn’t agree more. As long as the basics were right from VPI (many versions out there!). I can’t help but indulge . . .The best ones featured those big 4-hole flange Hurst motors ... |
