Snowballs
Years ago, I had a cup of soda spill on my major rebuilt modified Stereo 70.  Almost cried.  But I had it all apart before.  Took it down to parade rest again.  
I have an idea for an audio product what should I do?
I had the same thoughts. Contacted an Adam Kunkle. At InventionsHome.  "How do I proceed?" Hi Kingsley I wanted to touch base to make sure you received the link to our inventor information which includes a lot of great info to help with the inve... 
New transport or repair CD player
Did you ask the repair shop "how much would you charge to replace the laser in  my cd player?"  Sometime just cleaning, lubricating and maybe a belt? would fix it. How are you in taking things apart? It doesn’t work as it is. What do you have to ... 
Cartridges
How did I miss this thread? You already have a darn good turntable / audio system that you appreciate and feel the Need to purchase Quality Pressings.  I have a Symphonic All in One with no name cardboard speakers.  Secondhand store vinyl suits m... 
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
If I see an ad and I feel the asking price is out of line, I disregard it. I have "low balled" auctions on ebay, "not tested" "not working" "sold for parts". Even if they do not state "open to offers", I send them a message. I state the possible ... 
Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it!

What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
My vote is the Rogers LS3/5a.  Sounded darn good in the 80's when I first heard them.  Sounds darn good in my system now. Many speakers' great speakers have come and gone but the LS3/5a's have stood the test of time.

Tonearm/Cartridge pairing.
To answer your question, looks like the combination it should be okay.  Even possibly the Technics tonearm a better match for the Goldring. Second thought, cartridge setup.  Something is not adjusted right.  Overhang, azimuth, vertical tracking a... 
McIntosh C52 to C53 Upgrade
I'll play the devil's advocate. Go for it.  Screw the reviews, worthiness of upgrade or sound quality.  This is why you worked so hard to earned and have the money.  Upwards and onwards. The only American way to go.  Gloooory glory halleluuujah  ... 
NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!?
Speaking for myself, it's all about what I hear.  Usually, I already know the price.  But not always.  The "specs" doesn't really matter. A manufacture that prints less than or poor specs is either brutally honest and or lacking marketing savvy.  
Where did you buy your first audio gear?
First New Purchase: 70's?  Lafayette Electronics, Honolulu, HI. Criterion speakers.  Lafayette integrated amp.  Parking lot blow out sale.  New technology called Solid State.  Yup.  Someday it will take off and be the "thing" everyone has. First ... 
15 ohm speakers yea or nay?
I would say Yea.  Because the only speaker that I know that has 15ohm and 83db spl ratings with the Falcon name attached is their Rogers LS 3/5a speakers.  After 40 years and many speakers have come and gone, I still love Rogers. Now that you men... 
Denon DP-100 - User Manual (need to help again)
Does your unit have the Dynamic Servo Tracker arm?  I think this arm has been installed onto other Denon turntables.  Possibly those turntables using the Servo Tracker will do.  May need the service manual.  I have serviced other servo/linear trac...
