| SUT Interconnects My Fidelity Research FRT-4 has a captive cable, with verry common rca connectors and a ground wire. I sometimes think of changing it, but it sounds great, gives me no trouble, doesn't lose contact or give intermittant balance issues like some fle... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts I almost mentioned Lyric and Sound by Singer the other day. Horribly arrogant. | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 I won’t part with my Vintage McIntosh Tube Tuner/Preamp mx110z, I love it’s MM phono, and use a SUT for my MC cartridges to keep using the mx110z’s Phono. If it died, I would get another one without hesitation. You get terrific sounding phono (2 ... | |

| Better CD Sound: The Search Aftermarket Laser. I only paid $28. for this Denon (big dented top) (plus shipping and tax = $52 total). I never checked with Denon. After 2 days, it stopped finding discs, I got the seller to pay for this laser, refunded $28., so he ended up wit... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... jason, chakster when I first joined, when I first asked for advice, I would not have known how darn good both of those TT's I found are, and how rare it is to get one at a great price. You are both right, someone we know ought to jump on either o... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... mijostyn I know exactly what you mean. I had one do that in my prior home. A taller upright. Somehow, luckily, it doesn’t make itself aparent, quiet or my highest listening. Perhaps during In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida it's singing away. I play that long p... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... Chakster mentioned the Luxman PD444, it is a great looking TT, If I had known about it when I bought my JVC Victor, I might have preferred it. One for a decent price, you would need to add one or two tonearms to this price, and a cartridge htt... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... Chakster mentioned the JVC Victor TT81. I agree. They also made wonderful 7 layer wood plinths that fit either TT61, 71, 81. Single arm plinth CL-p1; Double Arm Plinth CL-p2, which I have and highly recommend; and a very rare CL-p3 for 3 tonearms... | |

| Better CD Sound: The Search jafant No proof, seller considered the hints that it read both types at first (probable that other stuff is not bad), then erratic, then stopped reading; then replacement read CD only was enough for the seller to simply be nice and offer a repla... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search As I said, the search is over, this time I mean the the album: FINALLY - Betty Carter. 'The Sun Died' could be renamed 'The Sony Lost'. I have always loved this album, it has never sounded as awesome as played on this Integra CD Player. My ne... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search Douglas HiFi MidFi MyFi Hamlet, sitting beside his mother, asks her what she thinks about it and she replies: ‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks,’ You made a solid case for HiFi, which could be restated as: ONLY high cost gets you h... | |
