| Hardware or source materail I spent some time at Excel Audio in Newport Beach and auditioned some gear. Some of the best available and it was very impressive. Your TT/cart is where I started just 4 years ago. It is entry level and not worthy of some of the high quality vi... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? What about Tannoy? | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables or reach out to this guy and ask for 15ft AZ Holograms, assuming you are OK with a pretty fat minimally flexible cable that sounds awesome No affiliation - bought mine from him and super happy with price, authenticity and service. https://www.... | |

| seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers? you're welcome just make sure you get the correct model so as not to overload them | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records Based on the specs it sounds like a Humminguru which is touchless. I bought one after my Audio Desk died. I’ve cleaned maybe 30 records with it, does a good job, no issues. The only thing I can think of is maybe very old vinyl gets brittle and c... | |
| seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers? I use Isoacoustics pucks under Harbeth 40.3XDs, just checked...no marks after almost 1 year. Stay away from sorbothane/rubber feet/pods. | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? This week I will get my new (to me) Denon 697ci to drive my Polk 8-T monitors. I have been using heavy gauge (12) speaker wire, but have a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cables coming. Will these cables sound any better than heavy speaker wi... | |
| Help me understand the current amp market @josephp732 thanks for the link and good luck with your new system! | |
| Help me understand the current amp market @josephp732 I just acquired a T+A PA 3100 HV after plowing through 4 INT amps in 2 years (3 tube, last one was a BAT VK3500 hybrid). I no longer yearn for anything sonically. It is warm like a tube amp but also very detailed with superb channel s... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @immatthewj To the best of my knowledge, we have not, nor whether the $500 pc was much of an improvement over OEM. Thanks, that's what I thought. @roxy1927 Was this just click bait? | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? He just set a new land speed record for getting banned, two whole days. Ha! And that is no mean feat! Did we learn which "expensive cable" the OP stated didn't sound any better than the "$500 cable", or what the $500 cable is? IMO without tha... | |
| Record player sounds out of tune and "wavy" OP, even if your record collection is significant, given your budget, maybe invest in streaming until you have funds to get a better TT. You could probably get a used Bluesound NODE for $300. Add Quobuz for $11/mth and have access to almost anythi... | |
| Record player sounds out of tune and "wavy" I also had a slipping mat problem. I could stop the record spinning with slight finger pressure on the side of the record. This is how slip mats are supposed to work...hence the name. | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming I'd also suggest looking at Hegel based solely on the fact that the previous owner of my T+A PA 3100 HV settled on the Hegel 590 because he wanted to move to a one-box solution. He thought Hegel competed well against the T+A sonically, which is no... |
