| Integrated amplifier search Just a word of warning on going with Naim, you will open up a Pandora's box of specialty cables and accessories that are not transferable to any other brand. Naim uses their own DIN cables FYI. Sound quality aside Naim doesn't play well with othe... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. why is it always about what sounds better, both have their merits both can engage the listener. For those that have no vinyl then yeah digital makes more sense but for those of us who have collected vinyl records for decades then vinyl makes sense... | |
| How to pre clean a very dirty LP before Ultrasound Machine? why are you worried, that’s what a sonic cleaner is for. spin clean is not saving you anything, you’re going to use the same amount of distilled water cleaner and more time. I’ve putt some very dirty industrial parts in sonic cleaners, crusted wit... | |
| Looking for an Integrated Amplifier to match Totem Rainmaker Speakers I think your making a mistake not looking at spending more for used. I find people seem to think it takes rocket science to repair audio equipment. its not hard for a competent tech to fix just about any manufacturers equipment if they can still g... | |

| I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated + mental As someone said Sansui did use glue on the boards but I think he has over stated the issues. Sansui integrated's are going up fast in the vintage market for a reason if you can get one like the 717 i'd jump on it they are only going up in... | |

| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? another good budget audio company is IFI Audio. They have a few DAC's and they aso get great reviews. I've owned one of their IFI Iphono2 phono stages that at $500 was punching well above its price point. Highly recommend IFI products. | |
