| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? OP, …”I gave it some thought and started wondering what defines "new music" in the context of this conversation?”. For me, music I never heard before. I started in the 60’s and 70’s with rock… then discovered Jazz, (stopped listening to rock) th... | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? If you are using a high end power cord, then 2 meters is the preferred length. I had never considered length until recently. I always thought short to avoid clutter. My audio guy had told me 2. Meter was optimal. I happened to have a one meter... | |

| Novice needs opinions for new system I recommend stopping. Time to think and carefully craft a new direction. The way to great sounding systems for most of us is slow deliberate moves… carefully thought out. You selling great equipment and buying budget stuff is not going to g... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I am constantly finding new music. I occasionally play an album from my collection. The amount of new music has escalated exponentially since my streaming / digital side sounds as good as my vinyl. | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl That used to be true with me for many years, until I finally was able to raise the quality of sound in my digital end to that of my vinyl. Now both are completely engaging and I get wrapped up in the music on a CD or streaming. At least for me... | |
| Tube Amp with a Preamp and Headphone Jacks I think I get the gist of your question. Some component preamps have headphone output jacks. They typically have mediocre sound at best. I know a dealer friend of mine had a Cary integrated with a headphone jack. He recommended it as a possibilit... | |

| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? When I got back into red wine a few years ago ( a real passion since college) I read several books on sommelier and what it takes… etc. Then I bought an https://aromaster.com/product/master-wine-aroma-kit/ Kit. With 88 auroras. From lem... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality @mastering92 Thanks. Do you put the krill oil in your ear, or ingest it? I take an omega supplement. The water thing makes sense. No to Qtips… absolutely, if you have ear wax… they just push it in… not a good thing. I bought an ortho... | |
| Phono Preamp Settings You’re right… there are a lot of micro switches. @blisshifi did a great job of answering the qustion. | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality @sgordon1 I use Debrox every month. But what I have learned is, sometimes that is not enough. The last month or so, my allergies have been really bad. I see my doctor ever six months. He knows I am an audiophile… so, pays attention. I thin... | |
| Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp I would recommend a Pass INT 60. I spent some time with one recently (comparing with a Luxman 509x and Audio Research I-50) . It is a really impressive integrated. It is a little above your price range. But I would look for a demo or used, Th... | |

| Tube phono pre amps Congratulations! A seriously cool looking table. Tube phono stage good idea. Spend as much as you can, they really make a huge difference. I don’t know that price range so I can’t make a recommendation for a new one. I would recommend used… Au... |
