| Speaker Cables I am using Nordost with my ProAc D-40r speakers and I like the results. Single run with jumpers. My system is posted if you want to see the other components. | |
| Raven celeste competitors/alternatives This is what all direct sellers hoping to cut out normal retailers hope for with their potential customers. There is no problem returning it and you are not "that guy" if you return it. Returns are built into their business model.Brick and morta... | |
| ProAc Response 2.5 vs Totem Mani 2 I have not heard the Totem, but I did own the ProAc Response 2.5. They do go very low, but are inefficient, so they require a fairly powerful amp to get the best bass from them.You may have read the review (see below link) in Stereophile which sta... | |
| Marten Oscar Duo BIG BARGAIN !... I had a number of stand mount speakers, but in the end I agree with @stereo5 that a floor standing speaker is really the way to go. The footprint on a stand mount is the same so why not have a full range speaker.My end game speaker (I think) is my... | |

| Sellers: When do you drop your price? @big_greg I usually underrate items I sell to avoid discussions about the rating. The Audiogon scale in addition to appearance states 9/10 is “light use”. I would not rate something as light use unless I was the only owner and knew personally that... | |

| VTA-Nervosa a Curse or a Blessing? @sbank I adjust until optimal on a record I know well, that is very sensitive to having the VTA correct. Then I just play records. I do have a tonearm that allows VTA on the fly, but it's just too much for me to adjust for every record. The differ... | |

| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges I have an Ikeda 407, but I don't know the mass. The mass is not stated on their website or in the manual. Below quoted from the website:"The Ikeda IT-407 tone arm is a High Mass design and has been called Big, Rigid and Beautiful."It is a great ma... | |
| What do I need to spend coming from an all-vinyl setup? @dhcod I deleted my prior post as I hadn't read your original post carefully enough.I don't have an exit planned for vinyl at this point, but I was looking for a listenable digital solution for listening to new music, casual listening, etc.The fir... |
