My method is to look at the gear fitting my budget and needs (e.g., 100 watts) and when something catches my eye I immediately googl... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover For me it was noticing the tiny end of her fingertip that made me see the robe. I think the mystery of I think I see her but I’m not sure is the visual point. The song is certainly atmospheric. What an album! It’s been my reference album for audit... | |
| Long hiatus from audio, getting back into it, speaker/room help please Hi there. I just wanted to encourage you to include in your search used Martin Logan electrostatics. Almost every model they’ve offered for years is a hybrid with a traditional woofer enclosure below the flat panel. They’ve offered many models at ... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget I’m surprised no one has mentioned DeVore Fidelity. Their reviews are raves, and several audio journalists have them in their reference systems. | |

I like tiny British sports cars too, so that’s a matter of taste, to me. Objectively, way less money spent on cabinet wo... | |

| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less First, buy a used DAC on Audiogon. That alone will turn your $1500 budget into $2500 to $3000. Second, look for a highly regarded and positively reviewed piece that is one generation old. Prices fall a bit when an upgraded model comes out. But if ... | |

| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I highly recommend you look at SVS brand subs. There aren’t a lot of reviews, they are very positive. I just added an SB1000, their smallest and least expensive model, to my small room, bookshelf speakers system, and I’m thrilled. Good luck! | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts lowrider57, thanks for the link to Swagman. | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Thanks for the comments and recommendations. | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Thanks. Any brand or model recommendations for an LPS to replace a typical wall wart? | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Makes sense. But my turntable is powered by a wall wart. | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Bob, what’s a linear power supply in this context? A plug and play replacement for a wall wart? | |
| No Pro-Ject Reviews in Stereophile Thanks for the comments. I did in fact find a review of the Debut in 2010. (The other google hits were online discussions.) Wasn’t Roy something of Music Hall the guy SAM Tellig sparred with regularly? |
