| Rogue Cronus Magnum III Shrieking. Tubes,Cap are my first look. but I had a similar situation in my new place when the router (Wi-Fi included) for my internet provider was installed just close to my Tube preamp. Moving it away from the preamp solved the issue, but it shows how susc... | |
| Open baffle speakers I moved to OB's last year with zero regret. bass is fast dynamic and deep enough for me. each of my speakers has a 18" sub bass, 15" mid bass, 8" mid, 1.5" tweeters and a tinny supper tweeter. I get bass in room down to 25-30hz, properly set up o... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Few people recommending the Willsenton R8, I think its a good amp but not for Klipsch speakers. The Cornwall’s are too efficient for the R8 IMO. You’ll have very little volume range and the remote is too sensitive and is basically useless for the ... | |
| Vintage acrylic turntable dust cover - (Cost Effective) service to create Exact mold copy? I don't think anyone even the manufacturers actually mold the whole cover as one piece, its generaly put together from parts/sheets of acylic etc. There are companies out there who can and do make copies though. | |
| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new I took a $3000 DAC to top ( and not by much) the internal DAC2 board in my C2700. I ended up settelting on a much more expencive DAC to actualy have a significant improvment so do not underestimate the DAC2 board its better then you may think. Als... | |

| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I’m having way more fun collecting and restoring vintage gear than my main modern system. I think many people hear vintage and think they are all overly warm sounding, but from my experiance thats a good indication there is old caps and componets ... | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis Schiit Audio makes a class A'ish small form factor amp. You could even get two and run them in mono as well. i've owned one and was plesently surprised how good it was for $800. You see them used as well from time to time. | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade what happened to the Clearaudio Concept TT? i'd keep that for now if its still in the house. IMO your speakers are the week piont in your system. So before you spend thousands on a new table i'd look closely at the speakers. Maybe take a trip ... | |

| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC Find a used Chord Dave, you shuold be able to get one in your budget or very close to it, then you will never need another DAC upgrade. I sold mine a few months back for $6500 canadian under your $5000usd budget. Thats a world class DAC ($15000usd... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I found more of a differance due to the hight change then anything else when i installed them. I don't understand how a wobly system like the gia's can increase bass definition, etc,etc. They definelty helped with noise transfer to other rooms sp... | |
