Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay
@pindac It seems that you’re taking offense. I’m actually just curious about the competency of ChatGPT. Since you took the trouble to write the OP and others have been trying to parse it, it seemed that this would be an easy thing to do. Sorry I ... 
Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay
I asked Chat GPT to summarize the OP in 150 words. How close did it get? CHAT GPT: "The author, a long-term user of Vinyl LPs, reflects on the diverse budget constraints among enthusiasts for ancillaries (turntables, tonearms, cartridges) in Viny... 
Aurender ap 20
Couple comments, personal and off the cuff. I have not heard this unit. It's a very expensive receiver (of course no tuner, but it's all in one). Priced @$22k, I'd much rather have the components separated out a bit more, at least between source/... 
Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in
Ok, so I better understand, I would run my sub line out from my preamp to the miniDSP, let it do its thing, and run that to the sub. My R11’s would still run full range analog directly from the preamp. The sound processing for the sub only would ... 
Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated
How about Atoll? Here's a review and a link to a slightly less powerful version, used.   Here’s the IN200 for just $1100, used: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650041499-atoll-electronique-in200-se-signature-edition-integrated-amplif... 
Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in
I would prefer to dial in my sub without the use of the minidsp.  I totally sympathize and tried for a very long time -- arduous, even onerous work -- to measure, move, listen, dial in and out, etc. to get the bass right. A good friend of mine ... 
Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade
I get it. It can be a lot easier to dismiss than it is to seek. I’m sure many would scoff about messing with a Wilson Audio product, but here we are. Yeah --it's not scoffing. You don't really understand Fritz. He's a master speaker maker and h... 
Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in
I have two Rythmiks of this make. I have done a lot of work to dial in my subs (I have a third REL). Ultimately, the best thing to do was buy a mini DSP and integrate subs that way. Highly recommended. https://www.minidsp.com/applications/digital... 
Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade
I wouldn't have Danny "fix" a Fritz speaker. That's like asking Thomas Kinkade to touch up a Leonardo.

Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described
When I sell speakers, turntables, amps, dacs, I always have the buyer show up in person with cash. That is an incredible high bar, especially since many people keep original packaging, buy insurance, etc. It would result in many being unable to... 
Power conditioners
@tattooedtrackman  That’s a tough question. How bad is my power ? Is there an actual problem? Or am I seeking a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. I would say that I am seeking a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist OR I don’t know ab... 
Power conditioners
I’ve been reading about this question, too, for years and I share your curiousity. The wisest response I’ve gotten when I’ve asked the question is: "How bad is your power?" In other words, is there an actual problem you would be curing or are you... 
How good is good enough?
I think "good enough" has to have some connection with gear quality and also with gear prices. While there's a good reason to be somewhat skeptical over price tags, I believe there is a correlation between price and performance. Everything matters...

@mahgister Thanks for the clarification.
