| I need help choosing a budget phono stage gift Or maybe someone, or a dealer in your city, would have one available to try? | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 You might want to also consider an older set of Theil too. Plenty of good options used if you are a bit patient. | |
| I need help choosing a budget phono stage gift I had an iFi on my short list for a while. (It was the only one at that price point that seemed like a solid option, but I did not do an exhaustive search.) How would one tell if that the Pioneer already has a decent enough phono stage? And ho... | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 Plenty of used speakers come to mind. (I like my Vandersteen 2C, which can fit your budget used.) She just wants them to look good and not have a lot of wires hanging around. However the “looks good” part means that you may want to pass th... | |
| Balanced versus single ended XLR cables cost more… often a lot more. If I was relatively young I would go with balanced… component design is headed that way. But if I was on a budget you can save money on single ended. But as has been pointed out to be sure with your compone... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I am glad you see a relevance. Let’s agree that I am probably just not smart enough to catch it or appreciate it. | |

| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. What surprize me is that you act like children and propose me "thorazine" or something else not "amazing" at all... You can claim it is an ad hominem attack on you, but it I was referring to the person in the video You confuse the message ... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... @pindac have you tried the Korf headshell? I got one of them and also the top of the line Ortofon (maybe the 10b ??), which does not ring much. They (maybe) made a big difference. Ideally I would have used a multi armed octopus of a table with t... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. How does all ^that crap^ relate to whether we like measurements or subjective methods for choosing gear? If someone says: I listen to how it sounds. I like the measurements to have a nice SNR. Then I can abide either as a basis for choosing... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I smoke a ton of weed and I think @mahgister @holmz do not smoke enough man. @music_is_life none is likely well below “not enough” 😎 | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. By the way do you smoke too much marijuana yourself ? It seems you confuse the messenger, me, with the message, them.... I do not, but I feel like I need to do a Chech-n-Chong skit, with the subject going to clocks inside of clocks inside of cl... | |

Here is a Fields medallist, Alain Connes and a nobel prize Penrose coupled with this Indian scientist who cumulate already many prizes who is 37 years old now, already first author of many books, with ten to come soon, are they look like a qua... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. IT is really an earthquake paradigm change on brain reasearch... It will illuminate even hearing... I am interested by hearing theory. Those fellow appear like quacks not quakes. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade In short: I loved the sound of my modest system, until I upgraded my amp. Now it sounds pretty horrible. It went from a warm sweet embracing easy-to-listen sound to knives and forks trying to escape from a bathtub. So... 1. I can just unp... |
