| Adding a tube amp is a good idea? After many receivers, integrateds, separate solid state amps/preamp, hybrid amp, and a better solid state amp with a tube preamp, then full tubes for many years, I settled on a tube/SS hybrid bi-amp setup with a tube preamp, and tube monoblocks on... | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge @cey VM540ML--cheaper and better Isn't the VM740ML the same cart in a metal body vs plastic of the VM540ML? | |

| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge If they're compatible with your tonearm, Nagoaka MP200, 300, or 500 have a somewhat warmer sound signature, yet retained excellent natural sounding detail and dynamics. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @mclinnguy @knotscott There will be a part II Part II came out yesterday. I found it shortly after seeing your reply. TY! @coltrane1 Who in the world spends $30k on a pair of speakers?! That’s absolutely nuts! You’d be surprised. The... | |

| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I don't recall Danny showing us the crossovers in the Wilsons. Usually he points out the junk parts as part of his video. | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply Incremental steps can certainly add up. I’m not familiar with LHY, but I’ve added DIY linear regulated power supplies to my Hagerman Bugle phono stage, and to my Topping E30 DAC, and both have made a really nice improvement, mostly just a bit of r... | |
| Should I buy a seperate dac? I have a Denon from the early to mid 90s. I added a cheap Topping E30 to about 3 years ago, and was surprised at how much better I like the DAC. There are better ones too. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @thecarpathian I'm glad to see Danny changed his hair style. He used to look like my aunt. Beard and all... ROTFLMAO | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Dealers must love selling them! $28K speaker with a 2.4 ohm impedance, so you have to buy a $15K amp to drive them. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. My room is pretty good size, and I sit quite a ways away, so am not sure a straight on setup would work so well, but ya never know until you try. The ideal setup is unique to every speaker, room, and system, so what works great for one situation ... | |
| What would you save in a fire? Sorry about what you’re dealing with. If facing a similar situation, system wise, I’d try to take my scratch built, original design speakers, and at least the tube amp that my uncle made, and it’s matching twin too, and hopefully the Lazarus tube... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? It’s allways great to be introduced to new music that sparks an interest. I'm a lot different than I was 40 years ago, so I appreciate things for different reasons, but they can still be very impactful. Music should be! My adult children are al... | |
