| Worth rebuilding Linn troika or fix shelter 501II? Linn really seems to work best with its own, so I would recommend fixing the Troika if you can. Maybe you can swing a good trade in to one of the newer Linn carts if they can't rebuild it for you. You can also ask Soundsmith if they can work on it... | |
| Excellent reference power cord made in Russia Why would I buy that when I can get a Kharma Grand Reference power cord direct from China for $120? | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? I don't think Ear makes the Acute anymore. They do a dac/transport thing for about $13K. I have the previous version without the digital in. It sounds very good. Detailed enough, yet smooth. You can also fool around with tubes if you like to alter... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? Neil Young at Bethel Woods on 7/17/15. That's the site of the 1969 Woodstock concert. Not a big Neil Young fan, but it was a pretty good concert. I just don't think we needed 5 songs about how horrible Monsanto is. We get it Neil, we get it. | |

| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? There's a dealer selling an EAR Acute III for $4300. I would seriously consider buying it. There's also an older Acute, without DAC inputs, up for sale at $2400, I think. They are very, very good for the money. | |
| Anyone moved on from Harbeth C7es3? If you appreciate what your C7s do, I think the SHL5s are a big step up in terms of the size of the soundfield, coherence and low-end fullness. Definitely related to the C7s, but much better, IMO. I've demo'd both side by side and the difference i... | |

| effect of new cartridge I had a MMF 5 and I was amazed at the improvement a Herbie's mat made. I don't usually fool around with changing mats and stuff, but on that tt, the mat made a huge improvement. Much deeper, tuneful bass and general smoothness. Just buy one and tr... |
