| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Just to let you know we have a group here in the Jacksonville FL area, NEFAS, that has a few members that could be helpful to share ideas and insights. We should talk. Also going to Florida Audio Expo...Rick | |
| Buy Decision Audioquest vs. Audience I suggest considering a used pair of the Audience AU24 speaker cables. “The Music Room” is listing a 1 1/2 meter pair for sale under $500.00 and in my personal experience I enjoyed them more than the Ohno cables that I demoed at the same time. Al... | |
| Best speakers for hi-def music in home office I replaced my small office setup with Vanatoo Transparent Zero. Small enough to easily sit on the desk. Highly recommended. They also have the slightly larger Transparent One Encore. | |
| DAC upgrade, new or used, $1000 I agree with Jazzman7’s recommendation of the Ayre Codex. Used one before moving up the Ayre line to a QX5/20. Connect it to the Classe CP-800 using the balanced (xlr) for best results. | |
| "Cars are Cars" by Paul Simon...are my channels reversed? If we assume the Spotify is correct then your new amp’s core has to be assumed correct also. If we make an initial assumption nothing is flawed this would leave the turntable and cartridge connections to again be reviewed. Do you have any orches... | |

| Origin Live company support I have owned two Origin Live turntables and three Origin Live tonearms over the past 15 years. I have had a few upgrades and any issues were always addressed Mark Baker appropriately. I currently own and enjoy an upgraded Resolution Mk3 with a LS... | |
| New Phono cartridge Closer to your price would be an Ortofon Bronze as another option. What is the Hana not providing currently in your system? This may allow for better focus of the recommendations as each cartridge brings unique attributes. The Bronze is a littl... | |
| Cana anyone recommend a plastic wrench that doesn'e scratch the metal? The Audioquest wrench will allow adequate tightening with little scratching. Used with my VAC power amp for years and the Cardas binding posts continued to look good. | |
| Thiel SS2 subwoofer Coherent Source Service referenced by “unsound” is the best place for the legacy products IMHO. It is still operating outside of Lexington KY where the Thiels were originally manufactured and owned/run by longtime Thiel employee Rob Gillum. High... | |
| Best father daughter dance song for wedding? Not Butterfly Kisses... Just had the privilege and joy of dancing with my daughter at her wedding three weeks ago. I chose “I Wish You Peace” by the Eagles. | |
| Tidal Music @atdavid "Given the 500K titles lost in the MQA fire, your mileage may vary." I think you mean the Universal Music Group (UMG) fire of 2008... long before MQA could have had any involvement | |
| Tidal Music I have Tidal and my computer/server running Roon handles opening the MQA files up to 24/96. Those files are then streamed to my Ayre DAC which is not MQA. They sound very good. | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA Last year at CAF there were two identical VPI HW-40 turntables being demonstrated in the VPI room. One had a SS Hyperion and the other a Lyra Etna if my memory is correct. I listened for quite a while during multiple visits to the room and great... |
