| Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? I also think highly of the Sansui Tuners. well I do have a upgraded TU 717. If I could afford any tuner it would be the Sansui TU X1 I've heard one once and have been lusting after one since but they go for stupid money now. Kenwood tuners are wor... | |
| Cary SLI 80 crumped I went from early Cary gear (slp94 and slm 100 mono's) to a Naim system and music died in my life, don't go that way if you like the Cary's you wont be happy with the Naim gear in my experience, totally different sounds. Luxman on the other hand w... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers For your Thiels I would look for a local tech to look at them, really no reason to send them half way across the country for another tech. If you are just trying to repair them any competent tech can change a failed part. I'd imagine there are qui... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Anyone know what the quality of AC coming out of the Yeti is like? all good to have a power generator but if its as dirty as the wall why bother? | |
| WiFi extender needed for residence? Another option to consider is a extender that uses the power lines this will allow you to get wifi in other rooms also allows for a hard wired connection. | |
| WHAT TURNTABLE? Do you have a springy floor? are you wall mounting? do you need more isolation? things to consider with these two different camps in table design. suspended table with some mass (VPI), unsuspended low mass table (rega). both can be great if you ha... | |
| Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase? Probably some. I use reviews, form information and audio friends as a sounding board mostly. When I'm looking to make an upgrade or side step I like to have as much information about the items I'm looking at as possible. I take every comment I rea... | |
| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge One last thing to consider AJ VDH is getting up there in years so best to get it done now IMO. many of the pioneers in Audio Land are getting up there in years like many of us. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i network server/DAC yes you can put one component on one input and the other on another. unless I'm reading your question wrong.cd player to your old dac to your line 1input. your blue sound node 2i to your line 2 input. | |
| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth my temporary footer set up is a steal cone sitting in a brass disc with a dimple with some very thin (1/16") sorbothane pads under each brass disc. this has been good but not the best as it floats and may not be that stable specially if bumped. I'... | |

| Help with phono amp upgrade I would recommend you try IFI's new power supply with your Ifi Iphono. I had the Iphono2 and it is quite a bit better then the original. Really hard to beat for anything less then $1000. The new power supply is not very expensive well under $100 a... | |
| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge As for Stylast, my VDH manual actually says to use it every side. Stylast is a lubricant not cleaner. I also agree with chakster, if you send your VDH cart to lets say sound smith you will not get the VDH stylus cut but something different also ... | |
| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth Thanks guys for the feedback.I had a plinth made by a local man who has made many plinths for both Garrard's and TD124's, good friend has two or three of his plinths all beautiful and effective. Mine is a multi layered Bamboo ply with some insets... | |
