| Who says cables don't make a difference? Many years ago I had a very modest system with Carver amplification and Platinum Audio's $800 entry floor standing speakers. I bought them from my local Platinum dealer who often let me take used equipment home on a Saturday afternoon to have a w... | |
| Amp Speaker Pairing FWIW -- I have a friend that moved from the Sophia 1 to the Yvette and he said there was minimal improvement. It is understandable as it is simply and upgrade on the same overall size and design. As suggested, maybe the Sasha line would be a bet... | |

| Looking at Focal Good luck and have fun in your search. I too shop exclusively in the used market. Speakers obviously present a greater challenge to buying and reselling, but can still be handled with some effort. Be sure and watch each speaker's respective pre... | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity @mofimadness Did you ever get a chance to go back and listen to Love Over Gold. I got my replacement copy and it has the exact same two issues. @thecommunityDoes anyone else have this MoFi Gain 2 45rpm release of Love Over Gold that can check th... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 I haven't ever been in front of a Magnepan speaker and the closest dealer is several hours from me. I am a big Audio Research fan and the fact that Warren had the 20.7s and has since upgraded to the 30.7s makes me feel that is where I should be. ... | |

| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL I have been really happy with my system for the past couple years and have invested a lot more into my collection. Lately this has included 3 of the UD1S records, Mingus Ah Um, Texas Flood and Monk's Dream. I did not own any copies of these so t... | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity I already boxed it up and am awaiting the return label, but I believe it was around 5000. I don't think that is a concern as here are my other numbers and BIA is just as impressive as the others at its high pressing number. Communique - 6143Brot... | |

I am blown away!My copy of Love Over Gold had 2 flaws and I would love to know your thoughts1) Track 1 has the first 32 seconds with a loud ... | |
| Dire Straits : what is your favorite pressing? I cannot comment on any pressings other than original US vs the MoFi Gain 2 45s. I had really nice copies of all the original pressings so resisted getting Brothers in Arms for a few years. When they recently released the 5 albums on Gain 2 45rp... | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? I live in TN and spent the better part of an afternoon at Emotiva recently. They are a great bunch of folks who are dedicated to offer high quality audio components at budget prices. They would probably earn more respect if they doubled all thei... | |
| What are fuses used for? I second wolf's responseI recently tried some SR Blues in my system. The company I purchased from was out of stock on a couple, my system requires 6. I installed in the preamp and the phono preamp. I REALLY wanted to hear a difference as the sa... | |
| Phono Stage Opinions This is both self-serving and sincere. I began my vinyl era about 10 years ago with the NAD PP2. I had nothing to compare and was happy for years. I upgraded about 1.5 years ago to the Project Tube Box DS and loved the improvement. I have been... | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V I believe you have to assess each BOSE product individually and not make a blanket statement for their product line. I have owned their Roommate II powered speakers for over 20 years. These speakers have been played most days in my home at high vo... |
