Dimond Cantilevers And Tip Mass
I though they had stated up again. wasn't the London Reference the new version? I could be incorrect. My friend is a huge collector of London Decca's he must have a doz or so. very nice sounding cart's, I agree. He has a very interesting system c...

Another place is; Tubes For Hi-Fi.   
Sony or Panasonic 4K Player vs. Magnetar or Reavon Universal Player
seems you have done your research and now are confronted with, how much money should i spend.  This is going to be what your willing to live without. My bet is the more expensive players will give you better picture quality maybe features. What do... 
Be Careful With UPS!
I've been shipping with UPS for decades, never had issue like you guys. But I always get shipping insurance and require a signature. That IMO is the key specially on expensive items, above $500 generally. I think its the insurance (this defaults t... 
Experience purchasing a used high-end cartridge
There are a number of good re-tippers out there,  many original manufacturer have rebuilding services. I would not worry too much specially if the price is reasonable so when you add the rebuilding cost its still a good price.   I recently bought... 
The evolution of Proac Tablette speakers?
the original tablet 50's were my entry into hi end audio as a budding audiophile. Still have found memories of how great they sounded. I also agree they do sound stage like few others. I moved to the original response 2.5's after also great speake... 
I can't remember the name of this Dealer / Company
I was looking for a table cover as well. friend of mine told me about a local plastics company that could make anything. They cut and fabricated a perfectly fitting cover for a fraction of what I could find online.  I'd do a search locally for co... 
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
How do they actually utilize graphene? Graphene is only a single atom in thickness and not really easily utilized as of yet.  I don't see how it will do anything but act as a marketing point.  Powdered Graphene isn't really going to do that much f...

DAC Comparison - Aurender A200 vs McIntosh C2600
I compared the A10 to my C2700 (DAC 2) and the DAC2 is better IMO. not sure if that's a fair comparison but close as i have. Upgrade your DAC1 to the DAC2 maybe the way FWD. The DAC2 also offers HDMI input for a potential TV input.   
sansui 5500
Sansui made some of the best tuners in the world, this is one of their lower tier ones but still an excellent tuner if working properly. The issue is its old and will need restoration and alignment by now. old caps etc will cause issues and out of... 
Shipping foam for Revel Ultima 2 Gem 2 speakers
another option is expanding foam packing materials. basically its expanding foam in a bag that expends around your item and fills all the gaps. makes for a very secure package, better then original in many cases.     
Omega The Seven Bookshelf Speakers
I have not heard the 7's but I did own a set of the SAM's and was very impressed with how well they did much of the sound scape. Best soundstage in any speaker I've ever owned by a good margin. good over all balance with just a hint of typical sin...
