| 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... | |

| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters @juanmanuelfangioii There are certainly many good reasons for good cable management. Mine isn't perfect and I'll clean it up a bit more when I'm so inclined. What is IA? I was considering Signal cable as well for the Speakon upgrade until I deci... | |

No idea if this makes a difference it just made sen... | |

| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters Very affordable, and certainly less expensive than my wife. But how will they affect room acoustics? | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters I make my wife hold up the cables while I listen to music. I've convinced her that the electromagnetic energy that dissipates through her hands improves memory. | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change My own rant loosely tied to the comments about phones and limited attention spans... I was in a customs line for over an hour recently and some kids were watching TikTok videos non-stop (at least I think that's what they were). 15 second videos o... | |
| Aidas Durawood Rainbow Cartridge "Review" Sounds like a really nice combination! | |
| What are some of the mistakes, failures or bad purchases of your audio history? My one and only sale on AG. A Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon TT. I'm out $2500 and now the proud owner of a crate full of really heavy trash. | |
| Aidas Durawood Rainbow Cartridge "Review" Gain -3 dB (62 dB), 470 ohms. I don't mess with the various curves - standard RIAA. Aidas recommends 100-1000 ohm load so I just set it in the middle. I've dabbled with 100 & 1000 but the difference is minimal to my ears. I ran the Hana at -... | |
