| Fess Up How much have you spent on this Hobby?? If you are talking total money dedicated to the hobby, you are not only talking about money spent on hardware and software, but also room treatments/design, electrical upgrades, magazine subscriptions, trade shows attended, tweaks and everything e... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? You are correct Sabai, there are 2 sides to every conversation, and you eloquently provide 1 side on your website. Actually, many say there are 3 sides to every case, the classic his side, her side, and the truth, which usually lies somewhere in b... | |
| Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? Much easier to find if you post a link.Lucky Don Lindich! I'm guessing he gets paid to write stuff like this? So the best that he knows of is Pass Labs. The best, or the most expensive? He does not sound like he has much experience. I'll bet he's ... | |
| Preamp questions for new vinyl fan A fully balanced preamp with phono stage for $500??? Wow, good luck finding that! You may have a chance if you go a bit higher and look at integrated amps. | |
| Running All Your Cables with The same Brand I agree with Barto. For many years I've struggled to find a full loom that satisfied me. All cables have their own strengths and weaknesses. I have found that the affects to be additive, meaning that the more cables of one line that I added the ea... | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables Serial numbers may have little affect, but at least it shows that the company is making an effort. It can make one more hurdle that may make a counterfeiter hassle an easier target, like Audioquest. Audioquest has more problems with counterfeit th... | |
| What makes a better phono cable ? Instead of asking which conductors is the most revealing, why don't you ask which cables are the most revealing?For most revealing, my recommendation would be the Stealth Audio Hyperphono cable. YMMV. | |
| Electrical Ground to Water Pipe, No Earth Ground Jim (Jea48), hopefully Audiolabyrinth will stop by this thread and tell us how Krell would recommend Foster_9 handle this situation properly. ;^) | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables 03-13-15: Zd542Having a good used market has a huge effect on the new market. I agree with that statement. My curiosity is why then Audioquest does not help their second hand market by putting serial numbers on their cables like Tara Labs, XLO, St... | |
| What makes a better phono cable ? "Better" means many different things to many different people. Get 10 audiophiles in a room with 10 different cables and you will get 11 opinions on which cable is "better".Words like "Better" and "Best" are really meaningless, IMHO. | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables I've also thought AQ's authentication program to not have much value to the consumer. Whether it stimulates the fraud market or not, I can't say. I do agree that it does tend to scare buyers into paying more money to buy from authorized dealers. Y... | |
| What makes a better phono cable ? 03-12-15: AlmargIMO, John's (Jmcgrogan2's) comment, which I know to be based on a great deal of relevant experience, is the bottom line.Regards,-- AlThank you kindly Al. I always value your comments. Though many might say too much experience, and ... | |

| Klyne Preamps You can't go wrong with a Klyne preamp. That said, your 6LX3 is an earlier version of the 6 series units from Klyne. The 7 series is more expensive, the 6 series are more affordable. Just as with any other line, you have to pay a lot more money fo... | |
| Triplanar vii - upgrade tonearm and ic wiring +1 Lewm, some folks just love change for the sake of change. Different, is not necessarily better. Folks do love to recommend their favorite flavor though. |
