| Deals Gone Bad Sorry to hear this Will. I am happy with my purchase of the SET 45 amp from you some years back. Excellent work! | |
| Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement? NO! More malarkey from Harbeth! | |
| Help with tone arm geometry and bass @cleeds : How much? Half a millimeter? Like that much really matters? | |
| Help with tone arm geometry and bass SRA (Stylus Rake Angle) is always a guess. Different LP's are often cut with different rake angles. There is no industry standard. Your cartridge as presently setup may sound heavier for bass on certain LP's and lighter on others. That's why it i... | |
| Help with tone arm geometry and bass Using the mat shouldn't affect the overhang. | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? @dwcda : I’m with you! After decades in this hobby - and wasting money - wire, whether interconnects or speaker wire - has no perceptible affect upon sound quality. A statement that will condemn me to be burnt at the stake by the horde of wire be... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others @yoyoyaya: That Deep Purple/ Orchestra recording is musically awful! I bought it back in 1968 when I was in high school. The worst Deep Purple album hands down! Another awful collaboration is Metallica performing Alban Berg’s opera Lulu. | |

| Need new pre amp I recommend a Bryston .5 preamp to match your Bryston amp. I have the .5 preamp to use with my Bryston 3B amp. No XLR outputs though. XLR for home use is not any better than RCA. | |
| Best choice for small form Amp for desktop Fosi V3 amp with the 48 volt power supply will give you 140 wpc at 4 ohms. $120. Why would you want to spend $1K? Do you really believe that spending a lot of $$$ will get you to Audio Nirvana? | |
| A Great Retailer Story IMHO All well-designed amps of low distortion/noise/output impedance will sound alike, contrary to the claims/beliefs of the golden ears crowd. Congratulations! You have saved yourself a substantial amount of money! | |
| Can an owner's manual and schematic be found for an Electron Kinetics eagle 7a power amp $300 was a bargain price! I saw one for sale awhile ago for $1200. I'd put my 7A up against any of those $100K made-in-Switzerland amps - CH Precision and Soulution. | |
