| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? Just to pile on, Linn tables need to be tuned up every 3-5 years so lack of a local dealer would be an ongoing problem. At your $3.5k all-in budget a Rega Planar 8 is well worth a listen. Maybe compare to a Planar 6 at $1.9k. Rega's are also low ... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? Or if this seems like a hassle, get the best Rega table you can afford and have fun with it. Either way, good luck and enjoy! | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? I have 2 LP 12s and have done upgrades on both. One started where you are and has been modestly upgraded. (The other done full-out including Ekos SE arm, Karousel, Radikal ...) You could start with a Karousel bearing at $1,100 and $1k for a new ... | |
| Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ? Hi Clyde2 @clyde2 This is great to know. Thank you! I was wondering whether the job was done or if there's more to be gained. Sounds like a 30 day trial of an Altaira makes good sense. | |
| Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ? I already had a grounding buss sitting around and just bought some spade clips and the wire. This all cost under $25. Cheapest system upgrade ever! | |
| Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ? Thanks HolyDean. That Mike & Rick interview with Caelin is very helpful. So after watching that and reading the Shunyata website I got out the Ohm meter and found screws on each of my components that showed 0 resistance to the ground input pl... | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers My understanding is that people used to think electricity was electrons moving down a wire. More recently people have begun to realize apparently that it's the energy from one electron being transferred down the wire not the electrons themselves. ... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? I like Naim solid state. Love only applies to tubes! | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable Would look at Shunyata Venom’s in your price range. TheCableCo.com has a 30 day trial policy to see how they work in your system. Shunyata has been my go-to for years because they make high-quality cables with different levels of noise filtering. ... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Does your integrated amp have a pre amp out / amp in feature? If so just run the Harrison filters with rca jumpers. I'd suggest the 70hz ones for you. That said, I kind of agree with the folks who say to just carefully dial in your bass array.... | |

| How do you high pass your main speakers? You can insert some Harrison Laboratory fMod hi pass filters into the line (RCA) from your pre amp to the amp(s) driving your main speakers. They have hi-pass cutoffs at a range of frequencies and aren't too expensive so you can get some at 30, ... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server So glad to hear that you got these great results with the Denali v1. It really is a remarkable conditioner. I hope you get lost in lots of performances with it in your system! | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much Well judging from the response, this question really struck a nerve. Whatever the exact conversation was between OP and the dealer (FWIW I believe OP), we’ve all been in this type of situation. I normally make the purchase from the dealer that sp... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl GHD Prentice: That used to be true with me for many years, until I finally was able to raise the quality of sound in my digital end to that of my vinyl. Now both are completely engaging and I get wrapped up in the music on a CD or streaming We... |
