| Did someone complain about the price of Uptone EtherRegen switch? The gullible are easily fooled! | |
| CD player reliability.... good and bad. My Marantz CD67 (1997) still working fine! Albeit with some years spent in storage.Plus the other old players I have (Denon, JVC, NAD, Sony) are also working well. The Pioneer needs lube on the rails. | |
| Emerald Physics Class D 100.2SE Amp OR...Sherwood 6040 Amp ? I have that Sherwood in my amp collection. Excellent SQ! Plus a switch on front to choose either of two pairs of speakers. The Emerald lacks that feature. Keep the 6040! | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming A new Technics DD plus a lomc cartridge like a Hana SL would get you a good ways there! The cartridge is so important to getting detail out of those rotating spiral grooved disks! That is why some cartridges cost thousands! | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming Try to avoid reissues made from digital sources! Seek out old original pressings! There is magic in those worn grooves! | |

| SQ vs. Music Way too many audiophiles are hung up on "sound quality" to the detriment of enjoying an emotional connection to The Music! Now where did I put that Ozawa/BSO Mahler 1 LP? | |
| SQ vs. Music Without music your mega-buck gear is as useless as a dead vacuum cleaner! About the best analogy I could think of at the moment! | |
| Good reasonably priced phono stage recommendation Schiit Mani ($129) will get the job done - and sound excellent! Why pay more? | |
| What kind of cables do you use on AR9ls speakers? Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy enough two-conductor 14 gauge zip cord to run from amp to each speaker. It will sound the same as any much more costly boutique speaker cable! I speak from long experience! Don't fall for the hype of the "golden e... | |
| What kind of cables do you use on AR9ls speakers? The ARlsi is a large 4-driver speaker which requires a high-current amp to play loudly (impedance falls below 4 ohms in the bass). Do you have an amp capable of this? Do not try to run it off a TV with an anemic built-in amp! |
