| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @pdn Great comments about digital. The technology has certainly improved over the years. Now, ripping CDs to storage and playing back via DAC has taken redbook audio quality up another notch for me. Of course, as you allude to, the quality of t... | |
| Shopping for Interconnects @will62 Confirm with Morrow, but I'm pretty certain their wire is silver plated copper and not pure silver. | |
| Gumby vs Yggy treynolds - Okay...got it. Your Gungnir does have MB. Any idea how many hours you have on it now? I do recall mine (as originally purchased without MB) took a long time to "open up". Then, since I did the MB upgrade well after first getting the Gu... | |
| Most overrated bands @2psyop Great suggestion! (especially apropos critics of "the Fab 4"). Their O-pinions possibly attributable to a lack of historical perspective.On the other hand, there’s a reason the word "philistine" exists. | |
| Gumby vs Yggy +1 to georgehifi's comments, treynolds...Glad George asked for clarification on which Gungnir you have. Sorry, thought Gumby implied multi bit. Based on that earlier reply gdhal, I think you do but am not completely certain. Having lived with t... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? @lewm ...well, only on the final application above the spindle do I hold the trigger, move the gun away from the TT and then release it while aimed at the carpet or whatever. I do it quickly too...no reason for concern about quick discharge at t... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy Gents - Just fyi...Auralic is NOT discontinuing the Aries Mini. I have this in an Email from Xuanqian Wang of Auralic. They are changing their distribution method for it but it might remain available via direct sales in the US and Canada. I s... | |

| Zerostat: Old is Gold? FWIW - I had an "original" red Zerostat for years and (as was discussed in another earlier A’gon thread) followed the directions supplied with it. Going by memory now, instructions were to slowly pull and release the trigger at (3?) locations arou... | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? @asp307 Check your inbox.See here too:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/no-frills-balanced-ss-integrated-ampThose additions to the system were done one by one over the course of the year and with several months in between each. Wasn’t planned... | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality With all due respect to akg_ca, I’ve had a pair of Totem Forests for over 10 years. The metal dome tweeter CAN be hot and harsh, especially with poorly recorded music. It took quite a bit of experimentation to figure out how to tame it. That won’t... | |

| Jolida sj502a tube advice Get in touch with the folks at Jolida in Maryland (phone or email; Michael Allen does reply to email). Years ago I had a 502B that I sent in to them for mods. The cost was very reasonable and the turn around quick. Their work definitely resulte... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? @elizabeth Welcome back. Very pleased to see you posting again on A'gon. |
