| Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations Awesome thanks for all the info - so it seems all things considered the fact that I have an older house plus the cost / benefit realities would make power conditioning the priority for sound quality and equipment protection - then budget for power... | |

| Please Help Me Build A System Under 6k!! Thanks for all the input on the system. In the end I decided to hold off on speakers for now and put the money into the rest of the system. So right on budget all in I ended up getting a Naim Uniti Star Integrated Amp with DAC/Streamer, a Rega Pla... | |

| Please Help Me Build A System Under 6k!! Great thank you for the responses. I was actually looking at the Schiit Audio Ragnarok 2 integrated amplifier so it's good to hear some confirmations regarding the brand. I was looking at Music Direct's closeouts as well and saw Quad, Elac, JBL an... | |

| What's the weak link in my system? Thank you loomisjohnson - I've been reading up on DACs - so many brands and reviews and opinions out there though it's a lot to sort through. Thank you cd318 - that was an interesting read particularly in relation to recommended proper speaker p... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? That kind of gets to the heart of the question I guess. Is the turntable the weakest link and if so is my other gear good enough to warrant buying a significantly better turntable because I can't afford to replace the turntable and the preamp, etc... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Thank you inna. I do use a Furman power conditioner. Your suggestions make sense though I'm wondering if it would make sense to just purchase a better turntable before putting money into a new cartridge and / or phono stage? | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Thank you willemj interesting observations re: expectations. There could be something to that but I have to say when the vinyl playback is good - for ex. Hugh Masekela Hope 45 RPM - I think THIS is what music is supposed to sound like! I prefer th... |
