Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!!
@phd  Question is how many users that you were referencing leave their gear on all the time, or listen as often as it takes to actually break the gear in. The ARC preamp I mentioned, would have required a number of months or more...perhaps more th... 
The bass is the place...
Might be useful to define what I consider to be accurate bass. That is the sound of a bass drum or stand up bass that can be heard in the listeners room with the ability to fool the listener into believing that the ’real un-amplified’ instrument i...

@djones51   Your console unit still sounds good to you doesn't it..?  
Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge?
One thing to consider when buying a used cartridge, and I know that the folks trying to sell them will NOT like this! That is, it is fairly well known that just one (1) play of a record with a damaged stylus is going to ruin that record! So, if yo...

G, Now I see what you are getting at with the stereo amps bridged for mono. That would have been an interesting experiment. Meanwhile, do post back in your thread when you have had a chance to AB vs the 925's.

G. Thank you for explaining in detail your reviewing protocol.I think what you stated makes a lot of sense, and I suspect that there are a lot of professional reviewers who do NOT go to such lengths...As to your thought about breaking in a mono bl...

@phill55. I think that a Linn with the spec that you mention, even after the upgrade cost, will be, at least imo, superior to other tables at the same price point. You may get a different flavor at this price point with, for example an SME,but I d... 
How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input
@ieales   Cannot use the high level with a tube amp?...go to my system page and take a look at how this can be done...with no issues. 
audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade
@phill55 Just noticed that the new Karousel bearing probably will not work with your Herc power supply. It certainly won’t work with Valhalla and I strongly suspect that the same issue will apply with your Hercules! Before making a purchase commit...

How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input
@hilde45  I have two (2) REL T5i's in my system. They are more than enough for my small room. I believe that two 8" drivers ( in the two T5i) are more surface area than one 10" driver. IME, the room size is the real factor as to how many subs and ...

@guidocorona   Does what you state in your prior post apply to the piece of gear in question that you started another thread on?

@geoffkait How often are you re-breaking in cables? I have never done that, IME once they are broken in..they seem to stay that way.
