| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers Hello, Besides all of the good things to try above I would also check the Phase of the sub. If it’s out of phase it can really mess with the sound if it’s in a bad location. Sometimes there is a switch on the sub itself. If you don’t mind spendin... | |
| Do I need a dac Hello, The T2 is really great and great for the money as long as you use the internal DAC. The only thing I would suggest is a linear power supply. If you are out of warranty you can use a $400 SBooster. If in warranty you would void the warran... | |
| Is this stylus worn out? Hello, Wally mentions groove wear. Does this happen on all records or just one or two. I bought the Hudson ultrasonic stylus cleaner with just distilled water. Works great. I only do this once a month. The rest is done with a dry stylus brush bef... | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air Hello, I like all of the ideas above. I am wondering if you can accomplish your goal with some different speaker wire.

| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Hello, One more thing. Have you put a ball bearing on the top of the platter. Maybe your plinth is level but your platter is not. | |
| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Hello, I would say this is going to be bad for the bearing. take everything off except for the platter and turn on the table. If that platter is moving up or down or side to side you have an issue. It could be something is not devoted underneath... | |

| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? Hello, “These are not the Mono Blocks you are looking for” Maybe not meant to be. I had the same issue with a different amp. Three times! | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music Hello, I use two of the JL Audio F110 subs with the JL Audio CR1 crossover. My speakers are rated down to 25hz at -3db.

| Best CD player from this list Hello, I would say the Ayre CX-7 mp. That is one of the most analog sounding CD players out there. Also, They are still servicing these due to still having plenty of CD Trays. They are coming out with a new CD player called the CX-8 very soon tha... | |

| Adcom GFP-555 II Hello, Fix it first, then sell or trade it in. There is a kind of cult following with Adcom. Plus, it is an inexpensive way to get some good equipment. | |

| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? Hello, I found out that Nordost has this QBase power supply system that powers 4 QPoints and two other selectable pieces like a Roon Core and maybe your DC powered tt. I realized at that point that some of these Roon products are DC based power w... | |
| OK-- I think I get it, now... Hello, What I have learned about Hifi is that the amp can be very important. What is more important is the preamp. It is the heart and soul of your system. I have tried putting really killer amps on home theater prepro’s. It may go louder but it ... |
