| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers I think Fritz’s products are very electronics tolerant. If you have the money and want trouble-free, Luxman, Mac, Accuphase. Really need to know budget and what volume you are expecting. | |

| Crossing Left and Right Speakers Are you talking about extreme toe in, to the point where the right speaker is pointing at your left shoulder and right speaker at left shoulder? Spendor used to suggest this as an option. I’ve tried it and it’s ok, but it really depends on your r... | |
| New cd player Don’t assume a newer player will sound better. Those older Denons sounded very smooth and were well built. A lot of modifiers used them as a base for upgrades. That aside, Rotel makes some nice machines in your price range. I would stay away from... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION If you have the money and like Chord, why not try a Hugo TT? Most dealers offer a 30 day home trial, but be clear on any restocking/return fees that could be a couple hundred on an expensive item. But at least you’ll have a chance to listen at ho... | |
| Linn LP12 & Miyajima Madake or ? Always keep a spare cartridge around. Even a decent cheap one. And never put a fish in your car. Remember that. It will help you in life. | |
| Let the Games Begin Hearing is so weird. When I was working in the studios, I had the chance to work with one of the first Sony digital multitrack machines. I think it was 1” tape. We were all amazed that the playback off the tape was identical to the recording sound... | |
| Let the Games Begin This is nothing new. There were studies years ago showing no difference in audio quality between CD and hi rez. Like many other parts of audio, some agree and some do not. Personally, I had a few good SACD players and never found the sound superio... | |
| Just got back in the vinyl community Congrats. I agree that vinyl can be rewarding, but it tends to bring out the OCD in some. I think you were wise to go with a Rega table/cart combo because you can relax in knowing that it’s set up to Rega spec and you don’t have to fiddle with al... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update A lab diamond is absolutely real. But people pay twice as much for mined diamonds because… they just do. I wouldn’t want to pay for a mined diamond, find out it’s a lab diamond and then get told “it’s just as good.” But in truth, all you can do is... | |
| Re-Discover my Direct to Disks I love the umbrella Toronto Chamber Symphony records and David Montgomery “The Piano” on Direkt to Disk may be the best piano recording I’ve heard. I’m not totally convinced it’s because they’re D to D. I think it’s the fact that they were done us... | |
| Frampton Acoustic Classics Actually, it was given to me in 2017! How time flies. These same people also gave me the Sgt Pepper Reissue with the remastered record and a second with the raw tracks. Also quite excellent. Obviously an audiophile remaster, as the harshness is g... | |
| A B JPS evaluation As you are already a JPS owner and apparently a serious customer, you should contact a dealer or JPS directly to arrange a home demo or at least a store demo. I have no experience with JPS specifically, but I have found cable changes to run the ga... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui And at the dealer, you can compare several dacs side by side. And, believe it or not, some dealers really want you to be satisfied and will help guide you to products that suit your tastes. IMO, we were better off 50 years ago when we walked into ... |
