| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. If you can find a Technics 1200G at a good price, that might be worthwhile for you; it was for me.... Plenty of good carts for around $1000.... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's Unless the laser was writing to the disc, I don't see how it would adversely impact it. Don't know for sure, though. | |
| Phil Lesh This is the first I've heard of this, though I've gotten a number of calls and emails since. Dang. Phil was one of the great ones, and the first of the band to revive Grateful Dead music after Jerry died. RIP Phil... | |

| The Great DAC Mystery How can measurements be so incredible, yet many continue to prefer DACs that don’t measure so well. I'd guess it's because ears, rooms, brains, and gear are not the same as mics and measuring equipment, and isolated chambers. Unless you live w... | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? I like my current standmounts, Marten Parker Duos. I first compared the Marten Oscar Duos against the YG Tor and the Dynaudio Heritage Special, and preferred the Martens for rock music, which is what I listen to. Then I compared the Oscar Duos wit... | |

| Looking for my End Game Speaker @calgarian5355 - I have the model with the ceramic tweeter; that about topped my budget out right there. I was first going to get the Oscar Duos but then auditioned these Parker Duos along side of them and thought they were worth the extra $$; lov... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker I've got a pair of Marten Parker Duos in a room about the same size as your's. They are excellent speakers; do give the Parker Trios a try if you're able to.... | |
| Physically Comfortable Headphones While I no longer have them, I've tried a lot of different headphones, and the Meze Empyreans are for me the most comfortable.... | |
| Ohm owners: What headphones do you use? I'd suggest you also ask this question in the Headphones threads; many people with 2-channel systems don't use headphones at all, and they are not a very popular topic on these forums. I could give you suggestions for good headphones, but I've nev... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? One person's 'too much' can be another person's 'not enough'..... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? Just recently got the Modhouse Tungsten DS with the Enleum XPA-23RMH amp, and that is a superb pairing. They sound much better through that amp than my Susvaras do, and like the Susvaras, they sound excellent on my DNA Stratus tube headphone amp. ... |
