| Do you spend more on your cartridge or tone arm? I am using the phono stage in a Bel Canto Black EX Controller/Preamp. Retails around $13K. | |
| Sold Sold Sold Did you go to some part of the world without WiFi? | |
| New Rogue RP-7 Preamp Try GE or RCA tubes in the RP-7. I liked them better than the much more expensive Millard’s. The RP-7 is a wonderful match with solid state power amp. | |

| For Swiss digital fuse box owners I have the Graphene in both my DAC and BAT VK-80. My system sounds wonderful but I am too lazy to AB them because the equipment is very difficult to access. I have eight SAFBs. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both but prefer Qobuz | |

| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? Joseph Audio Pulsar 2. | |
| Dusting gear and turntable My former house cleaner was so thorough she cleaned the cantilevers off two cartridges. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Loggins & Messina opening for Rare Earth in 1976. Big mistake for Rare Earth. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @prof -1. Ask the man who designed your speakers. | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? Why would anyone suggest how I should spend my money? | |

| Is D for Dry? Class D... The “D” in class D does not stand for digital. | |
| bel canto dac3.7 power cable replacement? I have a DAC 3.7. I would recommend mid-level Cardas or Kimber. I also connect that power cord to a PS Audio power regenerator. I have other DACs, including a Bel Canto Black EX. The DAC 3.7, IMHO, is a wonderful DAC but does not have MQA. |
