| Returning to Vinyl mijostynGot 300-400 LPs, some duplicates and/or different pressings, virgin vinyl, half-speed mastered, etc.Will definitely check Elusive Disc, which I'd never heard of. Last time I spun vinyl, there was no such thing as a website to find such inf... | |
| Returning to Vinyl armstrodLooks like a nifty device which maybe even I can learn to use. Some DIY will be necessary for me, living far from metro hotbeds and not wanting to haul delicate TTs around on road trips. But where do I find mfr's recommended VTF for any pa... | |
| Returning to Vinyl Most helpful! Having fun and enjoying the music (recordings) is my aim. Can't make it a career myself, but eager to learn from those who can. | |
| Returning to Vinyl Just what I needed, thanks! | |

| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS Ditto the USB advocates. When in doubt, start USB. There's a reason Aurender and Cocktail offer few if any other connections. True, all streamers and all DACs are different, but let the default choice be USB and regard that as the norm from which ... | |

| Rank the tweaks, geeks! terry9++ just wish I had more '05 red Burgsspeaker isolation: Nobsound weight bearing limit is 80lb per quad. What springs for 140 lb. speakers? 8 Nobs under each speaker feels a little fussy. | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! Seems to me the only easy way you could make the amp have the greater effect would be to use a passive pre with all candidates. At least that's what I would do, unless of course I already owned my unconditional, forever pre, in which case the only... | |
| Nicks or McVie..... Why the either/or? Why must we humans insist on rating and ranking incommensurables? Christine is a great writer/vocalist. Stevie is a great writer/vocalist. Neither is the GOAT, but then who is, or should be? Is anything better than Della Reese's... | |
| Clean AC power Doesn't keeping your audio components on a dedicated circuit protect them from noise generated by other household appliances? If not, what purpose does a dedicated circuit achieve? | |
| Clean AC power @nonoise,Thanks. The improvements you report are just what I'm wishing for. Was hesitating on regenerators, with PS Audio's entry-level being double the price of the Audioquest. Believe I will start just where you did and, with luck, maybe need lo... | |
| Clean AC power nonoise, what specific methods and/or gear are you using to clean up the power? Thanks. | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. Some errors that we blame on writers and editors may actually be the fault of "spellcheck" software. "Spellcheck" programs recognize only around 1,500 words, none of them naturalized from languages other than English, and demand that any word havi... | |
| What ever happened to Mark Levenson? Obscure petty criminals named Mark LevEnson aside, there is only one Mark Levinson in audio, and Daniel Hertz SA, based in Neuchatel, is his latest enterprise. (He is also working to upgrade mass-marketer LG's audio. Seems an odd project for him, ... |
