| Cartridge Advice Please dhite71 If interested, talk to Erik @ Solypsa. He is the US distributor for Aidas - they start at around $4K so maybe a bit more than your budget though. (I went from a Hana ML to Aidas so a big jump in $$$$) - fully detailed in my virtual system.... | |
| Cartridge Advice Please Maybe look at Aidas (which I own and love). Not well known but a beautiful, bespoke instrument IMHO, warm, detailed, great bass. 0.4mv output. My GN PS is set to 62dB gain, 65 was tad too much. | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems $7K DACs and $6K min on cables... If you got it, spend it - but I'm sorry but this is not good advice. You can achieve system synergy that works for you in your environment for a lot less but more importantly, just throwing big bucks at it won't... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? I also find that they are very sensitive to toe in. @arafiq Me too. Jdougs - while mine sound best at higher volumes 10-12ft away, at lower listing levels they also sound great at 6-8ft. A good place to start is point them 2-3 ft behind your ... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems There are a lot of great answers here. But for me, in a nutshell, it's a balance of detail and warmth. @vonhelmholtz I get what you are saying. I don’t know the answer, but the first thing I thought of when reading your post was the album Frid... | |
| Recommendation for sub with high level inputs +1 for REL X 2. I own 2 T9x with a hybrid Yamaha 5.1 / Raven 2 channel system in a relatively large room and they kick. | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? I think you'll be surprised by the bass response especially in a small room. I brought in a few records to play when I auditioned my 30.2 XDs. One of them was an older MOFI Dark Side of the Moon. Even the shop owner was somewhat surprised at how ... | |
| Budget re-cabling +1 @lak A lot of bang for the buck with the Raven brand of cables: https://ravenaudio.com/shop/ | |
| isonic CS6.1-PRO ultrasonic record cleaner Very interesting, thanks for posting. I just acquired a used Audio Desk and so far I am very impressed with the sonic results. Cleaning 10 at a time seems like a great feature, but I like the roller-brush feature of the Audio Desk - it has to hel... | |
| The problem with PLC @bigtwin Ha! I was just messin' around:) Private message may have had a worse outcome... 3 at at least...but it is amusing...sometimes.... | |
| The problem with PLC @bigtwin unfortunately you just fell into the KJ trap and contradicted yourself, as I have also just done... | |

| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? First CD player in our family was a $1300 Hitachi, 1985-ish. ~$3800 in todays money. Lasted over 10 years, then we lost track of it after gifting it to a friend. | |
| Bose 901 VI flat? jonicurn - glad you found a way to connect the EQ. Ours we suspended on shelves hanging from the ceiling - they need to be ear-height if I recall and a certain/ideal distance from the rear wall given most of the energy comes from the rear speakers... | |
