High End Amp Price Collapse musings
 The new will replace the old over time, as it always has. Yes, we are all going to die, we get it.Technological "advances" are nothing new with Class D amps. I'm in my mid 50's, with children in their mid 20's to early 30's. Despite all of the ...

Bi-wires links for speakers ?
@gdnrbob, I'm curious, if you feel that wire is wire, and it all sounds the same, then wire would bi-wiring help?I am not suggesting that Vandersteen's opinion should not be heard or tried. I have bi-wired before myself. I AM saying that Richard V... 
Bi-wires links for speakers ?
So many devided opinions :( Status Quo. You will find no unanimous opinions on almost any question in audio, or life.In the end, we all must form our own opinions. What works for someone else may or may not work for you. 
Bi-wires links for speakers ?
@gdnrbob, I see that you seem to be a big fan of Richard Vandersteen.His speakers have never really moved me personally. I realize that he has many fans though.That said, I think the key 4 words in Richard’s quote are "GIVEN SIMILAR WIRE QUALITY"....

What is the "usual" source of hum between a turntable and phonp-preamp??
Is the U-Turn new? Can you send it back? Perhaps it is a defect.I would contact the dealer and U-Turn to let them know of the issue.It still seems like a grounding issue to me, one of which their design flaw may have created. The answer to your in...

@grannyring , Bill, how is this digital amp revolution different from the digital source revolution of the 80's? I mean it's not like CDP's killed vinyl. Maybe they did for a while, but there has been a resurgence in vinyl in the last 15-20 years....
