| Go Ahead and Laugh at Me GREAT QUESTION!! Terrible design. | |
| Amazing Cartridge Repairs by Vinyl Audio Science! @pindac , Great story of more positive experiences with this vendor. | |
| Vintage Tuner-Only wonderful because it's the SOUND I grew up with?..... Great responses. It is interesting how using a machine like a tuner or tape deck or turntable changes or influences the process of listening and enjoyment. Listening late last night to the Nikko showed me a few things. While there are some inh... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... Great post. Fritz is awesome. I’ve been tempted to buy a set and integrate them with small musical subs. | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? No, I sold them. | |
| American Made Audio Products @stereo5, no hostility intended. The point was just why drop in to post something negative towards the subject matter selected. Seems easier to add something constructive or just move on. | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? + 1 on the advice to change the tube locations (swap them). Does it make this humming sound regardless of whether you do anything (no music, no volume, etc.)? Is it emanating through the speakers only or do you hear something coming from the u... | |
| American Made Audio Products @stereo5 , Why drop in? Thanks OP. I'm definitely trying a bit harder to buy American made goods. Just bought my first American made car in over 25 years! | |
| peachtree gan 400 is very good Great post OP. I love how much Class D has improved in the last 10 years. | |

McCartney has two Garrard turntables in his listening room per photos. Marvin Gaye was photographed with Mac amp, Thorens turntable, and a Teac reel-to-reel. Magic John... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor @jwallis1 , Yes, I still use the Feickert. Like you I have used the Geodisc. It’s great, IF you can get the pivot lined up. I used a piece of string taped to the ridge line and I’d pull it out to ensure I was in alignment. Not scientific but it go... | |
| Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated! @hedgehog , Sorry I do not know the gain of the phono stage. If I had to guess based on muscle memory (comparing it to my Chinook), I'd bet it's around 50dB or so. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... First off, +1 on what @atmasphere said. Secondly, the folks at ASR display myopic hubris. Many folks there literally would take a $400 Topping amplifier over an Atmasphere, Pass Labs, D’Agostino, etc. amp based on measurements alone--without eve... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? Great subject @skyscraper . I find it hard to get conclusions on the sonic signature of carts, making shopping all the more difficult. | |
| Anyone heard of Creative Sound Solutions? @jmc45 , I know it's been a few years since you bought CSS kit. Any update on how it turned out? Thank you!! |
