| 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... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @charles1dad …”Of course this represents heresy to the D.I.Y. streaming inclined.” Yes, of course. I am sure it is great fun. For fun, I did a bunch of DIY cables. For me, I quickly realized I had other things of greater priority. Yes, the... | |
| "Tuning" CD's Yep, they were a thing. Audio Prisim StopLight pens. I still have a couple. https://store.acousticsounds.com/includes/image_browser.cfm?title_id=12484 | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Wow. After a quick review of this thread, I’d like to make something clear to folks not familiar with streaming: This thread is a DYI… techno-nerd thread. For folks fascinated with playing with technology. There is absolutely nothing wrong wit... | |
| Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3 OP, It is very likely if you like the sound of your speakers now , then a high quality tube amp will really make them sound even better. At least to me Mark Levinson is accurate and very polite… but doesn’t communicate the emotion of the music. I... | |
| Where to spend my money... OP, Wow. Sorry to hear so many useless replies. There is no end to the improvements you can make. The big question, which one first? Which is what I think you asked. It would be tremendously helpful to see your system and venue. There is a pl... | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? OP, You are trying to reduce a multi-variable question into a single question. The answer can easily be yes or no… depending. If you have to reduce this to the grade school level… yes, you should have a 10 gauge. But the question is far more comp... |
