| Component contributions to “sound stage” @michaellent +1! You hit the nail on the head! Soundstage is in the source! Pop/Rock recordings made by multi-tracking in a studio are nothing like a well-miked symphony orchestra where the recording engineer attempts to capture the spaciousness a... | |
| Moon 110LP V2 replacement Power Supply. Show us some close up pictures of the back where the plug fits. Also a picture of the plug end on the cable from the power supply. | |
| A listening test of two power amps All amps of low distortion, low output impedance and flat response will sound indistinguishable operated below clipping. Decades ago Peter Walker of Quad did a test using RTR tape copies of classical master tapes between two Quad amps - a transist... | |
| Anti-Skat on the EAT F-Note Tonearm Anti-skate applies an OUTWARD force to counter the inward skating force of pivoted arms. It varies with position and groove modulation. All anti-skate mechanisms are just bandaids. My FR 29 and FR 54 arms have no anti-skate and sound fine! | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? At least Stereophile has John Atkinson's measurements while TAS is just "my golden ears" tell me it is so. I called out Michael Fremer on Facebook for touting a $6K power cord. | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Dynaco ST70 @viridian : You sir are correct! I said 6GH8 because I couldn't pull the correct 7199 out of memory. Either will work on that input/driver board, with some re-wiring for the different pin-outs. | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Dynaco ST70 More fun to be had modding the input/driver board on the ST70! I have one like that with upgraded caps and three dual triodes in place of the two 6GH8's. | |
| Excellent interview with Mark Levinson I'd like to have a C - Wave module that a DAC can plug into! At an affordable price of course! | |
| Excellent interview with Mark Levinson Yeah, like Mark Levinson isn’t responsible for starting high end audio back around 1975! | |

| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? Since you have CD's a new low-cost CD player would be a good addition. | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? @mapman +1! Plenty of used NAD integrated amps available on different sites: Audiogon, EBay, Reverb, USAudiomart ... | |
| Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 or NAD C 275BEE or Rotel RB-1582 MkII for Revel F208 All competently designed amps operated below clipping will sound indistinguishable. This is reality. I think with its 125wpc the Denon will be fine! Doubling the watts to 250 will only give you 3db more headroom. 500 watts will give you 6db headro... | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" Creating standing waves on the wires in the cable. LOL x 2! | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" DC Phase Alignment! LOL! |
