Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@mahler123 Obviously, you had a bad power supply/motor with the Rega P5 you once owned. Unless your turntable is automatic (most are not), the most common problem with any turntable is the motor.  I have owned numerous turntables from Pro-Ject, ... 
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
I had the Exact 2 MM cartridge for a couple of years and really enjoyed it on my Rega 6. If you can afford the extra $500 or so it would take to get into a P6 with Exact, you will go well beyond the Technics in sound. But as you know, a turntable... 
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@vandy357  I was on two year contracts for the past 10 years, bee bopping between one or the other because of price. Capitalism was working. Then about two years ago Comcast and Verizon started colluding with one another and the prices were iden... 
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@vandy357 I had a similar experience with Comast/Xfinity. Used my own Arris Surfboard with their service and never got the speeds they promised - that I was paying for. When I upgraded to a better Arris Surfboard (3.1 DOCSIS) the problems remai... 
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
@helomech It doesn’t help that it received a rather scathing review by ASR. That and both ASR and Stereophile measurements reveal the Sphinx falls considerably short of meeting its claimed power spec. Amir at ASR predominately does not listen ... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
@emergingsoul  Thanks! No water issues yet but the doors (threshold) needs to be replaced. Not going to be cheap..  
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
I am not using a bi-amp setup. Simply using two sets of speakers with each pair powered by a different amp. They share the same preamp.  That is unlike most others here.. But like others here, I have a separate 2-channel setup from my AV setup, ... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
Since two-channel means two speakers 😀, very few of those in this forum - er, site - have ever wanted for gain control. So as fuzztone states, few folks on this site have a use case. For those of us who utilize four speakers (because the room is ... 
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
Could be that the Rogue Sphinx debuted in 2014 and then the V2 was introduced in 2016. Followed by the V3 in 2020.  Hence, there are those that will wait for (how much longer?) for the V4 to come out. I mean, the law of averages is that there sho... 
Ken Fritz article
@emergingsoul  The entire youtube video is Ken talking about him and his system. Numerous times during the video you hear grandfather clock chimes going off. And so the audiophile in me went into critical listening mode wondering if I could hear ...

@tcotruvo  Do you know something about my life that I don't? How am I a hypocrite? The WP columnist, Geoff Edgers, is a superb journalist who frequently writes about music and starred in a documentary called "Do It Again", about his attempt to r... 
Ken Fritz article
@emergingsoul  Ken was not a part of Audiogon because he could not have cared less of what others thought of him.  I tend to believe that most who post here have learned something from interaction with others who have similar interests. If there...

@yesiam_a_pirate  The WP writer seems to imply that striving for excellence is a mental illness.  Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for rig...
