| ...amazed by 15+ year old interconnect... I have a mix of old and new cables and I've switched and exchanged these at various times. I am using old (and now discontinued Music Metre) interconnects between my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ and my Classe Audio DR-9 power amp. The wiring harness from m... | |
| Possible iOS-13 and Audioquest Dragonfly Red compatibility issue dbtom: I accessed the iOS-13 control center and it does not appear to have an audio output option. There have been some other unusual changes in the new OS, too. These include the inability to display the percentage battery charge alongside the ba... | |
| Favorite cover? Quicksilver Messenger Service, "Who Do You Love?" and "Mona" promptly come to mind, as does Janis Joplin's "Summertime" and (of course), "Ball and Chain". | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Aside from the numerous variables (all of which have already been mentioned and discussed), optimally, Yes, an "arc" with depth that more-or-less resembles an orchestra, a classical chamber group, a jazz ensemble, folk and Delta blues music. As fo... | |
| List your state of art headphones for smart phone use! I agree with mijostyn re: the Etymotic Research ER-4. They are very small, light, portable, relatively inexpensive, durable, noise-isolating, and (most importantly from the audiophile perspective) they sound quite good. I use them with an Audioque... | |

| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Thanks to all! The jargon for this hobby is really comprehensive. I was referring to the horizontal plane of the headshell which I incorrectly called "azimuth". In medical ultrasound (my former area of "expertise"), azimuth referred to the plane o... | |
| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Thanks to all! Yes, the height of the Mk 2 platter is greater than the acrylic platter on the old turntable. That accounts for the problem. I'm hoping to get together with Eric this week or next (if possible) for final adjustments and listening to... | |

| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Mike,Thanks for the reply! How does one go about adjusting the rear height of the tonearm as you suggested? All I did was insert the tonearm base in the Mørch specified 20mm hole I had drilled in the new acrylic arm board so it was flush with the ... | |
| Good CDTransport (player) without DAC? The Rega Apollo got a rave review in Stereophile relatively recently though I’ve not heard it. NAD makes (or made) some good players for not too much money and they’re all over the used market, too. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? I'm no expert and so I'll confine my suggestions to what I own and know. The new Magnepan LRS are only $650 + $70 shipping (a fixed fee). I have a pair and I think they're an extremely nice speaker, especially for the price. I also have a pair of ... | |
| Tidal - why only remastered versions? Since someone mentioned it, why are some Tidal albums no longer available? The Blue Note 75 for instance is gone (but it's still available on Spotify). | |
| Hi-Fi Lo-Fi One way to achieve greater return on your investment is to buy used equipment from fellow Audiogon Forum members. Items are almost always very well cared for and you can get a lot of advice...at least that approach has helped me. I'm not knocking ... |
