| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Many greats mentioned thus far! I would add the Jazz Crusaders, with later name of The Crusaders. Their evolution has quite an arc of styles, and I highly recommend any album in this mix. Bob James has quite a body of work and is a major collabo... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Bonnie Raitt with Keb’ Mo’ What a great concert here in Seattle, at the Paramont. when I was way younger… Iron Butterfly opened by Guess Who. | |
| Subs? fastfreight +1 I have a nice 10” Rel (T/9i that works so well, I’ve not needed to shop further. when integrated properly they pressurize the room without making their presence known, by directionality nor boominess. | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf Take a listen to PS Audio FR5 listen in your room and be ready to hear what you ask for. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I took a less financially “lossy” route. I found a used Lumin D2, and have been quite happy since. | |
| any ideas? Power supply caps have degraded, or transformer dying. | |
| MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$ In that price class, we often skip over Audio Technica. the ART9 is great. I have the xi version. there is a great FAQ on the 2 models there. And you can ask them which works the best with your arm. | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it In that price range you could get a Lumin D2 used or even the Newer D3. excellent product, balanced performance and good connectivity. | |
| Need to purchase a separate ground cable - from my TT to my Phono Preamp My TT has no separate ground wire and it is dead silent. even with a MC cart. | |

| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric OP, take a look at Marantz. The SACD30n sounds amazing, has excellent DACs and a butt-load of options. $3,500 or so. if you can find a Denon DCD-A110, it’s amazing as well. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? No. not in my experience. | |
| Surge protector Hi, as I read the responses here and your original post, it seems clear you should have a protected outlet at each speaker An inexpensive product with an equipment warranty would be the Pro series fromAPC one for each speaker total of around... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? Awww long-time Rel owner, I would also recommend the T5x or T7x models. plenty of low end extension and very well-controlled drivers. | |
| I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem? I eant thru this issue a few years back. Comcast/Xfinity cable boxes are famous for this issue. My fix was a cable ground isolated - $15. goes between the cable coming in and the box. fixed the issue totally. |
