| End Game Turntable suggestions Congratulations. Sounds like you made a great upgrade. Pooh, of course now you must now upgrade your streaming to match your vinyl system. I am happily at parody between the two… thinking of an upgrade to my turntable. | |
| Power Cable in White Given the quality of your components I recommend you fish from a better cable / interconnect pond. Your system could sound better with high quality cables. For speaker cables I would recommend trying three different high quality brands… maybe ... | |
| Maybe buying a different amp I have been a Pass fan since the early 80s. When I upgraded after 10 to 15 years, I was shocked at the improved sound from the new amp. I think you will be very happy. However, amp house sounds are very different… like, Mac, Bryson, Pass… etc. yo... | |
| In search of quality mc Phono stage Phono stages are extremely critical in getting the sound your turntable and cartridge are capable of creating. I definitely recommend tubes to get the full musicality. You have a very high quality turntable and cartridge so I recommend a phono... | |
| Does anyone know where this J. Gordon Holt comes from? @clearthinker … “Hey, which of us DOESN’T want our rig to SOUND LIKE THE REAL THING???” Honestly? I think many (most?) try to make it sound better to them…. More detail, more slam… microdetails. That is what I did for the first twenty or twent... | |
| Rumble showed up on NEW record??? Wow, that VTA must be way out of adjustment to have the tonearm touch the record. The TT comes with a tool to adjust it. | |

| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? @sgreg1 +1 Over the last few years I needed to upgrade our tvs. There were realy only three choices: Samsung, LG, and Sony. The most reliable and best looking were always Sony. I bought two: a 77” OLED for our home theater and a 65” regular ... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? I am primarily a two channel audio guy. But my partner is into movies. We have what is probably the best sound bar (Sennheiser) in the bedroom with her 65” tv (she is disabled and more or less lives in there) and in our living room a 77” tv an... | |

| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Congratulations! It is great when you make a move that results in what you desire. McIntosh is known to be very midrange and bass heavy… sounds like the solution to your dilemma. On the other hand, in some other systems room treatments could b... | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? 👍 Joyful anticipation 🎉 definitely! Hard worked for, heavily researched… the greatest things of life. | |
| Elementary Question on Shortening Speaker Wire What you did should work. I will usually solder the ends to prevent misc strands reach over and shorting the amp. So, what to do? Verify both clips on the receiver have clipped down on their perspective wire and no strands are touching th... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? @bill_k @elliottbnewcombjr +1 I remember the spec wars… incredibly low distortion numbers for components that sounded terrible. I remember 70’s and 80’s Pioneer, Marantz, Yamaha, and Sansui… they do not hold a candle to high end equi... | |
| SF Olympica III to Amati Tradition I have moved from planar speakers to Sonus Faber Cremona as an experiment to verify what I thought… Sonus Faber have a really unique and musical sound. Yes, musical was the word. Within days I ordered a set of Sonus Faber Olympica 3. I loved th... |
