| First impressions of the Audio Desk Record Cleaner Unfortunately buying this record cleaning machine comes with a longevity life span of 300-1000 records. There’s an almost certainty that after that it will fail on you. Everyone that I know who has bought one has had it fail on them after using it... | |
| Made the move: Focal Maestro 3 to Focal Maestro EVO I would choose the EVOLUTION series over the previous EM. What they have done with the EVOs is significant. Much lower less fatiguing sound. The EM upper frequencies could bite you in the long run if not tamed with the right equipment. | |
| Made the move: Focal Maestro 3 to Focal Maestro EVO I will not discuss how much it cost to upgrade but it was considerable more. What I will say, it was worth it. With the new technologies introduced in the EVO series the noise floor is beyond anything I have heard before. Much easier to drive. The... | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems Audio Research is probably more forward than what you want. Look at your speakers and build around them.

Should a 40k amp sound better than a 20k one: it should, but it’s you that must make that determination not the supposedly know it alls tha... | |
| Wilson tiny tots Seems like you over spent on speakers and didn’t consider what other components you’ll need to complement the Wilsons. Even though they are Wilson’s smallest and least expensive speaker, they need to be used with something of quality to keep them ... | |
| Interconnects - better before preamp or after preamp? First is always the best. If it’s not preserved upstream it’s gone. | |
| Why aren’t there many used cables on the market? I’m sure it depends on what brand and level you looking for. Usually when we are searching for a particular thing we don’t see it until we don’t want it anymore. | |

| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances I have often thought Pass Labs XA series would be a great amp to drive a 2 Ohm load, but they don’t publish any specs into a 2 Ohm load. I was ready to jump on a pr of XA 160.8 but was unsure they would drive my Focal Maestro speakers. The Focal’s... |
