Insurance for system
I have Farm Bureau home insurance and recently spoke to my agent about this.  He said take a good video of all the equipment showing model and serial numbers and email it to yourself so you have that record to be accessed anywhere.  All the stereo... 
Audio Research Pre-Amp advice
@romad I think you are on the right track for an LS27.  I had an LS26 before I got my LS27 and that was a significant improvement in SQ as well as much better aesthetics.   I took quite a journey in the ARC line stage lineup and really liked the ... 
Electric Recording Company?
I have been quite curious about these records so am bumping this thread.  I signed up for their mailing list so have had the opportunity to pre-order a couple.  Over $500 so I have not yet pulled the trigger.  In some ways it seem like a sure thin... 
How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits
A couple years ago I had some Cardas Cygnus speaker cables that I bought from a dealer new.  I wanted my interconnects to match but wasn't ready to shell out the cash so bought them from Ali.  I knew they were fake but thought why not try.  Part o... 
A GOOD dry record cleaning device
The RECORD RESCUE lint roller is a nice size and works well.  I got mine on Amazon.  
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@wlutke  Do you use HiFishark to monitor the market and past sales?  You don't know for sure what things sell for but you see what they were last listed at.  There were two on USAM a couple weeks ago for $4600 & $4000.  Hopefully your discoun... 
The Music Room
TMR is a class A outfit that would offer you a fair price for selling a used car to a used car dealer....don't go in expecting to get anywhere close to what you want for the sale from an ad.  I have gotten quotes from them and Paragon and they wer... 
power cord for pass 250.8
@pinwa good to know...I will check them out as well Another seemingly good option is Shunyata's latest releases.  I spoke to them back in December and they were very excited about the Gamma and Theta lines in that they are their best cost to perf... 
power cord for pass 250.8
I am always intrigued by the small companies that could very well be turning out great products at a fraction of the cost of the big-name products.  I don't see where anyone has acknowledged piebaldpython's post about NRGCustomCables I went to th... 
dCS Bartok vs Aurender A20
@tcbrinkley Did you ever get any more info?  I ended up with an A20 and it is great but still want to try a Bartok APEX.  Let us know if you get the chance to compare or get any intel  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
This sounds like Wilson Audio, which I have.  Do not assume everything you read.  I recently auditioned a pair of Alexia 1 that are supposed to require lots of SS power.  The sounded better and more musical at the same output with an Audio Researc... 
Let the best be your guide
@rvpiano  I just posted to your records and CDs thread This one is connected and so relevant to my day.  I upgraded speakers a few days ago.  My previous were so consistent where most everything sounded good.  My new ones are much more revealing... 
Records and CDs
This is all 100% personal preference and I still much prefer my records over streaming. I should probably go separate DAC/streamer to compete with my analog but the Aurender A20 is so easy to own and use. My analog is a Rega P10/Koetsu Rosewood Si... 
Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent
@marshinski15  I feel your pain on both points!  I don't start posts much anymore as so many people pick up on one aspect and start off on a tangent and the actual question is ignored.  This lead to others responding to their topic and the OP is ... 
Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers
@seadweller  I scanned the posts and don't see what amplification you are using to know your flexibility on efficiency level.  I have been loving my Wilson Sophia 1 for about 5 years.  They do everything right with a very natural, musical and eas...
