| Biwiring make any sense? No difference therefore a waste of money. | |
| A Noob Asking About Power Cables Don't fall for the malarkey that power cords affect the sound of an audio component. It has been scientifically proven that they do not. These companies selling "audiophile" power cords just want your money! | |
| another bi wire question please around Rotel RB 1590 power amp Yes, and do the same at the speakers binding posts. It will be like running double speaker wire. | |
| Quieter Amp Replacement for Crown XTi 6002 ? Are your speakers Altec A7 VOTT’s? Those have a 15 inch woofer crossed over at 800 hz to an 811 horn. They are over 95 db sensitivity and can be driven by a 10 watt amp. | |
| Quieter Amp Replacement for Crown XTi 6002 ? Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920wpc @8/4/2 ohms. Can usually be found on eBay for around $900. Excellent amp! I have one. No need to spend a lot! | |
| New Cartridge advice Denon mc cartridges are still the best bang -for- buck mc cartridges. I have several, including a 304. In stock form they sound excellent! The Hana SL (Shibata stylus) sounds excellent too but at $700 is more expensive. | |
| Please help me! Why spend thousands on an integrated amp? For $249 you can buy a pair of Fosi V3 Monos with the 48 volt power supply. Add a $149 Schiit Mani 2 phono stage and you will have a combination sonically better than any Luxman! | |

| Comprehensive installation instructions for cartridge in a tonearm. An arm with a removable headshell makes the installation process easier. Cartridge installation on my two Grace 707 arms with fixed shells is a lot easier with them removed from the turntables. | |
| LAIV Harmony No such thing as resistor drift for ladder-type DAC's. They use metal-film resistors - not the old carbon comps. Another non-issue by the neurotically obsessed! | |
| Word clock A device that can be characterized as "a cure in search of a disease". All current DAC’s use asynchronous input receivers that can lock onto any digital source. Jitter (uncertainty in timing) is not an issue. No need for re-clocking! The gadget-ob... | |
| Recapping old M&K satellites Recordings are the weak link regardless of format. Quality varies from the awful to the sublime, with most in the middle. You would be better off judging the sound quality of these speakers by using a tone generator. Paper caps do dry out but mode... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! My 40- year old Sumo Andromeda amp has been in daily use now for several years. Perfectly quiet - no problems. If your ASR amp is the same I wouldn't worry. The only caps that might become problematic would be the power supply caps. There are typi... | |
| Finding Power Amp for Cabasse Murano Fosi V3 Monos - 225 watts@4 ohms. 330@2 ohms. $249 a pair with the 48 volt power supply. Why spend four-figures? | |
| Perreaux? I have a Perreaux 2150B bought on eBay for $900. It is quite a powerhouse of an amp! 340/680/920wpc@8/4/2 ohms. I turned down an offer to buy a Levinson amp for $3K from a local seller. I think the 2150B is sonically comparable and a much better v... |
