| Hooking up a NAD 3020 v2 to a PC you can buy a USB to Optical interface. googles your friend. that will also remove much of the noise from the pc. | |
| How old is too old? The largest issue is parts availability. as the drives and optical sensors age they will die and need replacement. If parts are available no issue. but as many have learned parts are not really that available for disk drives, especially older ones... | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 I also used an MC1 (silver body low output) for decades even had it rebuilt twice but eventually it was time to replace it. After a few different carts I ended up on a Sumiko Pear wood celebration 2, Newer version now. It has most of the detail an... | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! looking at your other speakers i would suggest you look closely at ProAc's their small speakers are legendary. Look great as well. | |
| KT88 Tube Recommendation - Mac MC275 If its a gen 6 they have JJ tubes from the factory, not the best sounding tube IMO. Lots of options, maybe not at your budget though. Tube store has Gnelax kt88's for a decent price right now. You can also run 6550's if your inclined. with K-horn... | |
| 🤯 Legacy Audio Calibre XD humming + no low ends & boxy sounding Are the pins for the XLR wired correctly for the speakers? some equipment has a diferent wiring of the pins. | |

| Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps The yamaha, better built, probably hold its value longer, if not increase. Granted i've never been a fan of any halfler's just to dry, unmusical sounding for my tastes. also been years since i heard either. | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? From my experience the woofer pulsing is a feedback issue. have you added a subwoofer or moved the table closer to a corner of the room or the speaker? It could be set up if your cart is a lighter one on a heavy tone arm for example but from a qui... | |
| Kondo vs Audio Note silver aged silver? lol | |
| White cabinet popularity? I personally do not like white or black speakers they just look like bla to me, no style no thought and very plain. Just like 90% of people’s interior decorations these days and like everyone owning a black, white, silver car...boring beyond bori... | |
| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap I'd prefer a properly treated room over some black paint, You could shut off the lights you know. | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? I had the opportunity to buy locally a set of his SAM’s Super Alnico Monitors. I’ve owned dozens of speakers over the years and none of them had a sound stage as big and layered as the SAMS and I’m talking about speakers 10 times more money. Are t... | |
