Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade?
@dover   There are a number of car mechanics on the various forums who also fancy themselves as experts at setting up the Linn turntable. All of them complain of the results that they get...I wonder why, hmmm. :0) 
SF vs Raidho
@jafox +1SF do NOT have a house sound, what they do have is a reputation that seems to be consistent from Forum to Forum, and that is they are ’warm’. Problem is that the folks who keep on propagating this reputation typically either a) don’t own ... 
My Sonic Lab Signature Platinum
@sfischer1  Steve hope all is well with you. I am a little surprised that you would go away from your Koetsu Onyx Platinum to the Umami! How would you describe the Umami against a highly resolving cartridge like a Lyra? What ( for you, as I realiz... 
Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300
Interesting thread. I am thinking that since the OP owns the same speakers as I do, that the answer to his question is going to be highly dependent on the rest of his gear-- and his room. While IMO the GH’s can sound warm...they are actually not r... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
@mijostyn   You have brought me back to this thread with your ongoing attacks. Firstly, you have absolutely no clue as to what I do and do not do with my system, nor what it sounds like, secondly your ongoing disbelief in gear that you have never ...

@mijostyn Thank you for TELLING me what i hear and don't hear in my system...I am off this thread now,  nothing to be gained here! 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
So many naysayers on this thread....question is how many of them have actually heard what the Shakti Hallograph’s can do and have had them in their system? My bet...none of them..:0(I dont have any problem with folk who have actual experience with... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
@mijostyn   You were asked if you have heard the Shakti's? I know that you have not. I will ask you a question, is it ok to post an opinion on the value and the SQ of any item that you have NOT heard and yet feel like denigrating? If so, then plea... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
@simao One could ask the same question about what justifies the cost on numerous pieces of gear in this hobby! If you look at how the Shakti’s are made and what goes into the various aspects of the product to get it to market, I can see where they...

I’m not really a fan of ’better records’. I have a number of his ’recommendations’ and they are nothing special. Most of the better D to D LP’s or the likes of Opus 3, smoke them. Problem is, and this is just IMHO, the guy really isn’t listening t... 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
As mentioned above, the Zen Wave pc is superb. Also excellent is the Black Cat pc. I have both and depending on their upstream gear, both have easily beaten out much larger and less flexible designs. ( and also far more costly!). 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
I own and have always been highly impressed by the Shakti’s! One of the best additions I have made to the acoustic treatments in my room. Why the OP has to ’assume’ that these do not work is interesting, perhaps because looking at them they do not... 
Interesting development
 @asvjerry  Not relevant to used, or resale, LP's, which is what we are talking about here. 
Interesting development
@jafant   Maybe. Although does that explain the significant increase in value of the MFSL Milestones LP that I exampled above? Plenty of supply for years...and little demand. Now that it is 'supposedly' out of stock ( and for how long?) the demand...

@builder3  Uhm, not what a "Seller' will pay, what a "Buyer" will pay. Selling it for less makes perfect sense if that 'less' is going to be more than what it can be sold for after said sale, or in the future! That is if one has to sell.
