Technics or Thorens, need suggestions
Many years ago I owned an SP 10 and never thought much of it sound wise but to be fair, I was using an early 1980's Sony receiver and an entry level Grado cartridge. Currently, I have a very good phono stage and I'm using a Thorens TD 160 MK1 that... 
A philosophical question.
Students attending the music conservatory don’t realize how good they’ve got it. Where I am, the training at CCM is extremely conservatory but excellent nonetheless. There used to be a composers festival during the summer and people like Moritz Eg... 
Vinyl cleaning and alcohol
Alcohol is recommended on Shellac's! 
Help!! Bought Rega TT in the UK and now cant use it in the U.S.
Can you contact the US Rega distributor in Texas and ask them if they'd exchange yours for the one you need, or simply ask them what you should do. 
Playing mono records properly without breaking the bank - a phono pre-amp question.
My record collection is mono only so I'm not burdened with the need to switch between stereo and mono. hrebieh, if I were in your situation, I'd buy a second turntable (used and possibly vintage) as a dedicated mono table with a mono cartridge.  
Synergistic Research Orange Fuses
Al, a friend of mine suggested connecting a stand alone multiplex to my 350A, any ideas behind this? Sorry folks about dissenting from the topic.

Synergistic Research Orange Fuses
geoffkait, I did notice an improvement between the Black fuse and the Blue fuse. I have a very revealing system and can hear everything from my digital sources. I'm not so sure the differences would be as noticeable in my Scott FM  tube tuner or m...

georgehifi, sorry but I'm completely disinterested in blanket proclamations of disdain towards any tweak: fuse, outlets, or otherwise.If you've tried the Orange fuse then please feel free to comment on, otherwise it's off topic. Thanks

Any thoughts of the possibility of a SR Orange AC outlet?

Good news, I'll spring for the Orange hopefully next payday. I'll replace the Blue which is currently in my Ayre DAC. I'm wondering though if I would hear a difference by adding an Orange to my ASR phono amp or my HH Scott 350 A tuner? Thanks so f... 
Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade
beetlemania, that's interesting. Is this universal in the sense that recording engineers and others have the same ability? 
Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade
beetlemania, then Ayre was able to adapt the new circuit board and whatever else to the present filters which surprises me. 
Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade
tomic601, I believe which ever is recommended by Ayre for general play. There is an A or B switch on the back and I believe it's on A. I do know that the upgrade guts the entire insides of the QB9 and that upgraded filters are part of that. Unfort...
