| high end standmounts that do not punish poor recordings? Your Hegel pairs very well with Magnepans in the right room. But a bad recording will always be just that. Play those in the car. | |
| Surprised at Low Household EMI Readings EMI is something that I never noticed.... until it wasn't there. Probably my 70 plus year old ears. | |
| Asymmetric Room I tried having both a pool table and stereo in the same room and I ended up selling the pool table, because there was no place in the room for a sweet spot. Also, I use the stereo 10 times more than the pool table. | |
| Why hasnt a turntable manufacturer produced a table with automatic tonearm return/shutoff? I am using a Thorens automatic also. It plays just as well as my previous 'audiophile' TT and is not nearly as fussy to set up. | |
| Is there such thing as a test lab/escrow service for selling/buying audio gear? I just traded in an older piece of equipment on a new purchase at TMR. They actually gave me more than I asked for. I would use them again. | |
| My New System Well done, I'm glad you're happy. Do yourself a favor and try a month of Qobuz. Compare it with your Amazon. Only costs you $10-12. | |

| Qobuz Connect Yes, it seems that some days are better than others. Annoying. I sometimes wonder if the cache for the streamer is too small. Someone please tell me if the Aurender has this problem as I am looking at the new A1000. | |
| Abby Road Live Webcam I actually went there and crossed the street BAREFOOT! IN October '23. London is a great place to visit. | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? Another solution is to add a Stack Audio Smoothlan @ less than $300 [unless tariffs prevail]. It worked out very well for me. Room treatment also. | |
| Another request for Streamer Transport options I must be the only one who didn't have success with the Innuous Pulse. Unless you count the full refund I received. Too many dropouts and simply would not play most of the time. Was it the cache size? I spent more than a few hours with Innuous ... | |
| Electrical question Just put in a new circuit with heavy gauge wire, like 20 amp. And use a hospital grade outlet. Thank me later. | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? If you are going to upgrade, go big or you will want to upgrade again soon. That being said, upgrading speakers makes the biggest difference in any system. |
