| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable Curious why you want to upgrade a USB cable? They either work, or they don't. Better aesthetics I can definitely understand, but there is no way a more expensive USB, ethernet, or HDMI cable can change the sound (or the video quality), assuming t... | |
| Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation There are 2 main issues that isolation devices may solve. #1 is external vibration to the component (e.g., footfalls causing a record to skip) If you have a solid floor and solid rack/stand, and footfalls are a non-issue, this should be easy to ... | |
| Turntable question; Does Audio Technica make any good turntables? I would avoid Pro-Ject. I've owned an entry level Carbon Debut and a higher-end RPM 10 ($6K). The build quality just isn't good enough. I believe the lower-end Music Halls are made by Pro-Ject (feel free to correct me if I am mistaken) I cannot ... | |
| Looking for suggestions on HT Setup I have an older LG OLED - love the picture, but had a screen issue (not burn in) 4.9 years in and was thankful I got a 5 year extended warranty - OLEDs are very susceptible to burn in - be careful. The C2-77 is on sale at LG.com for $2500 - great... | |
| Cartridge burn-in I bought an Aidas Rainbow 3 months ago from @solypsa which sounded great on day one but now sounds truly magical. It seems like it has really opened up recently. Wild guess but maybe 100-150 hours play time. The Hana ML it replaced did not sound ... | |
| Any Near Audiophile Bluetooth Speaker? I have a B&O Beosound A1 that is very impressive for its size but its over your budget new. I also have a "vintage" iPod HiFi (only made by Apple for 1 year) that sounds great but you’d need a BT transceiver as it was designed for the origina... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Jennifer Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat Shelby Lynne, Just a Little Lovin’ Both are stellar recordings. Great list we have here! | |
| First Streamer... +8 for Bluesound Node. It's a no brainer at $600. App works with Android. I use the app on iPhone and it's great. | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? Saw Eric Church and Dave Matthew 2 nights apart this August outdoors in Lake Tahoe, same venue. Eric’s sound was excellent Dave’s was awful other than quieter passages Why? | |
| First table, second cartridge, ... Look at the Goldnote PS-10 + PSU-10. It will run any cart and won't break the bank; and you can adjust everything on the fly from a single control knob. | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room + 1 for a lot of what has been said already. I’d start over. especially the ProJect TT and Ortofon Cart. I recently got rid of an RPM 10 Carbon. Build quality is totally unacceptable. a good MC cart is the way to go. You need to add a good pho... | |
| WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? @willgolf I have a Raven Osprey that I kept after the 45 day trial. I'm now lusting after the Reflection and have until May 23' to trade-in the Osprey for full credit. Given your speakers I get why you went to mono blocks. I have Harbeth 30.2's w... | |
| Its not vinyl @sgreg1 Interesting twist on a common theme I think that if you are using both streaming and vinyl as sources it’s not that one needs to sound better than, or as good as, the other. Both just need to sound good enough so that you listen to t... | |
