| integrated amp for Wilson Sabrina X @audphile1 It was. They were like a continuum of discreetness of sounds / detail of the Luxman to more midrange bloom and musicality (really good rhythm and pace for a solid state) and authority (Pass), and finally warm , rich and natural The... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges I only own one cartridge at a time. Investing in the very best I can afford. But, then don’t spin vinyl that much… maybe one a day. I now listen to streaming most of the time. However, since you started streaming. If you dedicate some money an... | |
| Power cord length My dealer recommended 2 meter for more “conditioning”. I had never looked at it that way. I have two AudioQuest Hurricanes, one one meter and one two meter. So I did a comparison with my stereo amp. I use them both when running the mono blocks. I ... | |
| Boxes Yes definitely, they are valuable. Shipping stuff like speakers gets really challenging without them. Many companies actually have new boxes for old equipment… I think Pass does. I tried selling some old ugly black ribbon speakers and the cost... | |
| integrated amp for Wilson Sabrina X @audphile1 Oops, you’re right. I missed the integrated part. The OP should definitely listen to the Pass INT-250. I spent a couple hours with its little brother the INT-60 last week. It is very impressive. Well balanced sound, natural, refined, ... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server OP, My hat is off to you. I am an old guy also and there is no way I would be changing albums on that beautiful turntable in a place that low and recessed. I would be seeing the chiropractor after each record change. As to your question. Each... | |
| Digital Cable Recommendations OP, There is a real advantage to being able to read about products from Main stream media before you buy. While you may choose a new upstart with a great new product, the odds are that companies that have been putting money into R&D for decad... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? I agree with @bdp24 that the article is poorly researched and draws dubious conclusions. However, the vinyl resurgence will peak and start heading down soon. Yes, the boomers passing away will make a big difference. But it is also about techno... | |
| Keeping Track of Vinyl Playback Time I don’t. When I hear a problem with my stylist then I will know it is time for maintenance. My last cartridge boasted of +3,000 of play time. I had it for over fifteen years and never reached it. Sold the turntable. I was working then… I liste... | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? @grislybutter But the momentum of producing great new high end tables had tremendous momentum… and before table companies started cutting back the vinyl resurgence occurred. | |

| Network optimization for serious streamers @charles1dad My Aurenders are connected to my wifi extenders with an Ethernet cable. George | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo @bill_peloquin I would recommend a Aurender N150 or if that is too much then a used Aurender N100… You should be able to get this for less than $2500 allowing you to jump forward a huge step. | |
| integrated amp for Wilson Sabrina X You have to add Pass and Boulder to the list. I would definitely consider Pass. Listen to both the X series and XA. The XA is much warmer and more natural sounding. | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? There are world class turntables based on idler arm, sprung, and unsprung. Personally, unless one is strongly rewarded by nostalgia for a youthful experience or reproducing a “sound” from your history, it makes no sense to buy old tables. The form... |
