| Avalon Teseeract $327,000 Speakers with 4.5 Kilowatts per Channel Considering the upper tier offerings from Wilson, Kharma and others, $327k falls into the mid-price category. | |
| Rotary mixer to single ended triode amp Monoprice makes good quality xlr-rca cables | |
| Gustard R26 I believe Goldensound on You Tube has reviewed dacs from both companies and may help you gather some comparisons. I don’t recall which Gustard he reviewed, but I know he thought highly of it. He did say the Holo sounded “better” and the user had t... | |
| what do you call a part of a song where there’s no music and just random audio In the 70’s, we used to call that part of the song the “dump”. Not exactly sure why, but that’s what we did. Listen to “Forget Me Nots” by Patrice Rushin. In the middle it just breaks down(breakdown was another term) into a bass and drum riff that... | |
| RIP Frankie Banali, Quiet Riot drummer, succumbed to stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Frankie had tremendous dedication to his work and the band. I recall seeing a documentary about QR after the singer died and how committed Frankie was to keeping everything together. I wish him peace. | |
| Current Universal Players Keep your 205 and buy a great red book dac. The sound of red book will be so far superior what you have, my guess is you will forget SACD. But you will still have the ability to play any of those discs. There are plenty of threads on Rockna, Holo... | |

| New Rega P10 setup An open box product should come with full dealer support and warranty, so I think you have no more chance of a damaged item then sealed. Maybe less if it’s been inspected. As to footfalls, I don’t think the rega will do much better than the Linn, ... | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded The soundtrack to “Inside Llewelyn Davis” is excellent. Great movie as well, IMO | |
| What speakers are you using with your BAT 75SE amp? The VR4 Jrs are very good speakers. I think they would be difficult to better at your price point, or even somewhat above. If you like female vocals, I would recommend the Harbeth SHL5, which is a large standmount, but I’m not really convinced abo... | |
| Finding a specific cable They’re on the expensive side. | |

| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? Your original post described the bass as on the lighter side and lacking in impact. You can call it anything you like, but it’s still comes down to bottom-end issues. The TZ is one model up from the KC. FYI, Steve Gutenberg reviewed the much more ... | |
| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? I had a TZ Vibe for audition and also found it very quiet, but lean and somewhat steely sounding. Admittedly, I only had it for 10 days or so, but I was just uncomfortable with the sound. Exchanged it for a Heed phono stage and was very pleased. N... | |
| Avantegarde Duo repair. Isn’t Bob @ Rhapsody in NY a dealer? I know he was and should have some info even if he dropped the line. |
