| Buying a new TT today Hello,A lot of turntables come with OK carts. I agree with an upgrade on the cart to maybe blue or black Ortofon. But you have to decide can you afford to godownthe rabbit hole or should you buy what you want. First, sell your TT with the original... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Hello,I believe if youlove to listen to music you are an Audiophile. The medium keeps changing and probably will do so in the future. If I kept to analog I would have missed out on a lot of new music and artists that I found streaming. In the end ... | |
| Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection Hello,Maybe the Buchardt S300 if you have to keep the volume low and the s400 if you can rock them out a little more. Also you cannot go wrong with Phil Jones ELAC speakers. Good luck and don’t forget to add atleast two subwoofers down the road. | |
| New Yamaha A-S3200 Integrated Amp ?. Hello,I looked at the integrated amp and the separates. Do these not come with remotes? I am somewhat of a purest but the only time I do not care about a remote is with vynal. When I am streaming I need a remote. Also $20,000 for the separates. I ... | |
| Next upgrade for my analog source Hello,The Rega P6 TT is a great turntable for the money. If your cartridge is in good shape and has life left in it I would go with the PS Audio Stellar option. I believe they let you try it before committing to it. Also you can trade in your old ... | |
| Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced Hello, based on MC’s research and you need a low cost option I agree with djones51. Just grab a good extension cord. I like the idea of the IEC extension cord but I don’t like the guage step down from the factory AWG. REL probably made the 10AWG c... | |

| How many people here generally buy used? Hello,If used is the best deal I say go used. When buying used keep in mind of the age of the capacitors. They can get costly when it’s time to replace them. What am I saying, audiophiles love | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables Hello,You have a really nice system. Sometimes I look for what used gear is sold on the different websites and see which one people are trying to get rid of the most. If the market is flooded with it I would stay away. On the flip side if it is ha... | |
| ... sound batting and/or weighting speakers ... Hello,I like MilerC’s idea of the bluetac. Many times for computer speakers I have done this or added a cut mouse pad and put it under the speaker to clean up the sound. You can take a sandwich bag and fill with sand, shot, or copper BB’s and ... | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains Hilde45,Thank you for the heads up. I appreciate it. | |
| Suggestions for $2k budget Hello,Can you tell us your Preamp and Amp? There is no point suggesting speakers without knowing those two things. | |
| Analogue question Hello,I love Rega TTs, but I heard they have that him issue unless you get the right cartridge. I would still love to get a P6 or P8. Maybe someday. | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains Hello,I thought coax was better than toslink. I have tried it myself and in my system it holds true going into the same DAC from my Oppo 205. I have to try the amp straight into the wall when I get a chance. If I like it I will put a whole house s... |
