What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?
Purist Dominus cord on power amp works great, bass sounds right.But before that - real no BS power amps, then power cords.Most recordings suck, by the way, maybe "1% cables" is one of the reasons. Another, clean record head, another - use good ele... 
Any good reasons to use transistor phono stage and line level preamp instead of tube ?
But at the highest level, what can compete with tubes, Gryphon/FM Acoustics and other Swiss ? Who else ? 
What separate tube phono stage do you use ?
I would be using MMs for the foreseeable future, good ones. Croft/ Pear Audio, that's interesting, they make excellent turntables - reincarnation of Nottingham. I have Nottingham, by the way.

So I thought - no good reasons. More funds and effort, that's all.frogman, you are a rare guest outside that music thread. 
Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ?
Many preamps have 10kohm RCA line level input impedance, just like pro reel to reel decks. I haven't heard of many difficulties of matching separate phono's output impedance to that, though not all of them would match, of course. I think, both Al ... 
Power Conditioner for Amp
Yeah, Gryphon amps incorporate some elaborate things in their design. So they should, certainly for the price.But wall current has been getting from bad to worse and going downward. Amp designers have to pay more attention to this. If they do, tha...

28 Hz from single 6.5 " woofer ? What speakers do you have ? But if they are that good - better source and amp and cables and power cords, yeah. Which ones ? I have no idea.Putting them against the wall or in corners would probably be the wrong mo... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
" Troll convention" sounds good to me.ebm hates money so much that he uses every opportunity trying to free himself of it. Doesn't happen and looks almost hopeless.I guess, $10k amp is no longer considered expensive. What makes people think that i... 
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
Who needs MCs, anyway, unless one's got $100k plus system and impeccable hearing ? Then maybe, depending on music and sound preferences. Not my case. Better spend extra cash on diamonds for women, this audiophile stuff is not worth much really. $1... 
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
$400 -$1100, I'd say. But at least $4000 table/arm and $1000 phono, no way around it. Streaming is streaming and analog is analog.Morning. 
Power Conditioner for Amp
Anyone tried Accuphase regenerator/conditioner ? 
Power Conditioner for Amp
I will exaggerate a little to make a point. If you think you need power conditioning for power amps you are wrong - you need different amps with much better power supply.Now, in some areas the wall current is so bad that even best power supplies c... 
Audio Art interconnects
I do some. Bought their $100 pair RCAs last year out of curiosity. I thought they were quite good entry level audiophile cables. No, I don't use them but decided not to return them.Why do you ask ? 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
What the hell are you guys talking about ?   
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
95% have-nots service 5% haves, more so in Russia, some Asian and South American countries. This country is currently moving in the direction of third world countries, somewhere in-between right now.So I will actively participate in this extreme c...
