| Help me decide on my next cartridge (<$900) Chakstr I have not owned personally any NOS carts (well i suppose my VDH cart is well over 15 years old now) I'm going off what friends who have owned many have talked about during our weekly Audio club luncheons. So as I said MAY need rebuilding.... | |
| Help ! one last thing to consider is, if you have an internet connection and don't want to bother coping your CD's try a Tidal or Spotify streaming service. I was going to get a Bluesound vault but after I got Tidal I can't be bothered as most CDs I was... | |
| Glue choices for making the Garrard 301 plinth I'm not sure what the builder of my plinth used for glue (I think it was a two part aircraft epoxy) but we went with bamboo ply instead of the birch. I have heard the same plinth design in birch and bamboo and the bamboo has somewhat more impact i... | |
| Help ! Easies would be to buy something like the bluesound vault 2i. It has built in storage, streaming ability and DAC all in one unit. outputs in digital or analogue via RCA. NAS harder but has some advantages in larger potential size and better back... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system I'd sell it separately you'll have better luck IMO. summer time is not the best time to sell either by the way but if you price fair you should get some buyers. I'd look on Hifishark the web site has good pricing information from all over the net,... | |

| Living Voice mods? Interesting, I also Have Living Voice speakers, what mods did you end up doing ad what was the outcome? | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? I am a fan of vintage gear that was done right to start with. The likes of Sansui, Luxman , Accouphase , Marantz in refurbished trim are outstanding integrated amps. I believe the integrated amps of this time are better in some cases and easier... | |
| Help selecting a new preamp +3 for the freya | |
| Affordable Decent Preamp & thoughts on Emotiva XSP-1 vs PS Audio Stellar Gain Stage Schiit Audio Freya + affordable great reviews. gives you a taste of tubes and SS. or just the Freya SS version for even less money. Relay stepped attenuator 128 teps too | |
| oscillation in power supply filter caps also one of the down stream components could be failing causing the circuit to oscillate this could potentially do serious damage so if in doubt take it to a local tech. | |
| Help me decide on my next cartridge (<$900) I'm with three_easy_payments here your table is $500-$600 new, a $900 cart is not going to make that much difference. If your cart is done/wore out then yes by all means buy a new cart and upgrade. when you do think about your next table-arm and m... | |
| System Upgrade How old are the tubes in your amp? Are they New production or NOS? Tubes sound flat and when they are starting to wear out. they also can sound thin and frequency extremes can start to decay. One other thing to consider is the Harbeth's are not th... | |
