| Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily? @marshinski15 Tell us more. What is your system? There is a place to put photos and ID your components under your UserID. What experience do you have with which other cables? ‘A couple years ago someone started a thread on fake Nordost Odin ... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer @bluethinker Thunder, yes I think so. | |
| Advice? Luxman C-900u vs. Pass XP22 vs. Ayre kx5-twenty Given your equipment I recommend an Audio Research LS28SE… or as contemporary as you can find. Audio Research makes incredibly good and natural sounding preamps that can really help capture the magic of music. It is what they are known for. Luxma... | |
| Crackle and hiss on some albums So with your cheap turntable you did not hear lots of noise? First, typically the noise goes down the better the turntable with a big drop when you hit high end… let’s arbitrarily say around $5K depending on the type of table. But then, you sa... | |
| Best investment; cartridge or line stage? Great question. in general, the way I look at investing in analog: you must balance the quality of the turntable, tone arm, and cartridge with the phonostage. Typically after an upgrade my investment in tt + tone arm + cartrige = the investment in... | |

| recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim) Every component of a system contributes into conveying or not conveying PRaT. It is not the realm of only one component… although one component can kill it. | |
| Which turntable? Pro-Ject or VPI? VPI. | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I use Transparent Reference on my Streamer (you might try a premium) … nice sonic improvement. Audio Quest Storm series as good as you can afford likely to be excellent on your streamer. But given you are happy, try, don’t just buy. | |
| Power cable Advice... @megabyte A more serious answer. This is a video of an interview with the founder of Shunyata. At about 10 - 11 minutes he starts going over what a power grid is and does. This should help. | |
| Vinyl rips - still worth it? My digital streaming leg of my system sounds as good and sometimes better than my very good vinyl leg. I don’t think recording my vinyl would improve the sound. Since I think it is pretty natural once streaming’s sound quality is equal to or bett... | |
| Advice wanted for small factor office speakers Totem, Mites. I use them in my office. Beautiful woodwork and sound great. They also have a optional small subwoofer if needed. | |
| Power cable Advice... Makes it sound better. | |
| Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200 The way to look at power cord, is that it provides power conditioning, so, it will improve the sound significantly. |
