| Building System with Record Player / Need Preamp? Pioneer PLX1000 ($699) + a Grado Prestige cartridge ($89 - $189). The C328 phono stage should be adequate. An upgrade would be the Schiit Mani ($150). I have the PLX1000 with a Denon 103R mc cartridge. Read Herb Reichert's review from several yea... | |

| Can/Is AI Used To Post Threads on Audigon? Read the science fiction novel Colossus by D.F.Jones. I did when I was a teenager! It left a strong impression! | |
| Alfred Bokrand cartridge choices This Borkrand arm is new to me. Can you provide details and a picture? I recall the SAEC arms were exceptionally heavy and only worked well with the heaviest low-compliance cartridges. Plus they had insufficient offset angle. | |
| Can/Is AI Used To Post Threads on Audigon? Malicious AI will make total control of humans possible - a permanent surveillance state as foretold by George Orwell! The Chinese are getting closer to that by planning to use advanced facial recognition of all Chinese citizens! Big Brother is wa... | |

| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? I bought a Marantz 2235 from an eBay seller. $130 with free shipping!

| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @deadhead1000 : can you provide examples of old gear that you consider overpriced? | |
| Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences Cable burn-in indeed! Might as well claim those led lightbulbs give a "purer" light after being in use for a few hundred hours! | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard : thank you for your reply to my question! I have been suspicious of the claims by LAST since their appearance decades back. I will stick to cleaning my styli using Magic Erasure. Also A.J.van den Hul recommended using some vodka on a fi... | |
| Why are there no newer clip-on headphones? Monoprice had a pair of clip-ons that got very good reviews. They cost $200-$300. | |
| Just joined 😁 A study of the tracing geometry shows that this type of pivoted arm will have much higher tracking distortion. No thanks! | |
| Some new E-bay scams Will Vincent is a good and decent person who does not deserve this treatment from corporate bureaucracies. Six years ago I lost $850 sent to an eBay seller for a pair of JBL 65 speakers. They were not sent and I never received a refund. Neither eB... | |
| Hybrid amplifiers Ss/tube, any good? George Kaye's New York Audio Labs made excellent hybrid amps! Tube front ends with MOSFET output stages. I have the 75wpc Moscode 150 in my amp collection. Check the Stereophile archives for a review of the Moscode 300. |
