| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Oh, I didn't pay enough attention, a TD124 you say! It is DEFINITELY the 'liftable' thin lightweight easily distorted cover that is slightly warped as mijostyn said. I LOVED mine, best BASS ever! EXCEPT, it's bearing is very susceptible to verti... | |
| I'm not all in on digital systems because I'm not all in on DACs My CURRENT opinion: we find 'PREFERRED' not 'BETTER'. What we eventually choose is the results of a particular maker's 'BAG-O-TRICKS', their 'MIXED SALAD': this DAC, how many DACS?, then the bag-o-tricks: up..., over ... anti.. filter ..... shap... | |
| Which taps? I looked into this when choosing a new to me integrated tube amp for my vintage 16 ohm speakers. General rule: use the tap closest to the 'nominal' impedance of the speakers, thus use the 8 ohm taps for your 15 ohm speakers. It will be fine, a s... | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) Nothing's important, until it is. Someone explain to me: Balanced makes sense, backstage, long runs, ... to prevent problems. It is not about 'better', it's 'prevention'. And yet, so many say 'balanced SOUNDs better? Why, How, certainly not ... | |
| How many SACD / Blu-ray audio / DVD audio / etc do you own? Better than CD? Are you aware, SACD’s are very often converted to PCM (CD redbook 44.1) prior to being converted to Analog?. It can also vary regarding which output’s are being used it seems. Hard research often does not reveal specific answers. ... | |
| Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance?? Just to say, OP, (having the impediment of resistance to learning) asked about preamps and amps, you Brainiacs leapt in on Speakers. | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? SACD/DSD ... CD/PCM I only have about 25 Hybrid SACD’s out of 4,000 CD’s, and had no plans to buy any more unless used and inexpensive. Mine are Hybrids, so I always have the CD PCM layer and the SACD DSD layer to compare. No one in the ’Better ... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search $40. Integra CDC-3.4 Mark II arrived: 'Mech. Error'. Cover off, revolving tray was resistant to movement, a bit of a forced spin, it freed up, works perfectly. Less than 5 minutes! I think someone dropped it, or carried it upside down or somethi... | |

| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R I have been researching the last few years, and auditioning many brands. I believe in dual or multiple channel dac’s, and after that, it is a particular OEM’s ’mixed salad’ you are listening to rather than just the DAC’s technology, i.e. upscale,... | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? I have heard only one Cayin, my A88T (bought used on eBay with return option). had never heard of Cayin, tried it based on this review. https://6moons.com/audioreviews/cayin/a88t.html I highly recommend them. Newer versions/models have easy bi... | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? christian dragged out while listening, that’s a great memory for sure. If physical issues, drawer movement .. dried lube, new belt, some of Donna’s long hair (no cats here), I can do that myself. I replaced a laser once successfully, just myste... | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? mahler123 $1,500. when introduced, $1,000. was a good deal for you then. It’s surprising what prices people get for them now. I just paid $999. all these years later for what seller says is very lightly used and fully tested, finds/plays many ... |
