| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge My feeling is that the best bang for the buck is a Denon 303, even if you pay to retip (301, 302, 304 likewise, or new 301 mkii). Bang for the buck, that is. I have two Grado Ref Sonata 1's, one with a micro re-tip...both sound very good, second b... | |

| Let's see your office systems Allison CD8s pushed against the wall, supported by SVS sb2000 sub I don't really need and forget to turn on sometimes, fed by an old Carver CD changer, an old Tascam DAT, an RPi Digione running Volumio, run through a Cyenne DAC and powered by a Cr... | |

| Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers?? I have Avanti IIIs. I got a great deal on a pre owned pair. But they really didn't sound as great as any of what I read. Disappointing. I put them away. Then I actually read AP's set up guide and one day dragged them out and tried that. Huge diffe... | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma Restored pair of Allison CD8s on either side of the cabinet. Or as mentioned an active pair of Dynaudio (not heard the PW600 but may even be better) or even a used Ascend Acoustics Sierra (RAAL) on top of cabinet. | |
| Low buzzing through speaks LED light somewhere in the room, either a 5v or an LED of certain type bulb in traditional socket. Unplug it. See if that is it. | |
| Direct Drive I listen to a lot of records and have only vintage DD. Three of them. All Denon. 55F with Unitrac and DL301; DP47 with Grado Sonata and Stanton 881s; and DP59 with DL301 mkii. I doubt I will change although I did think a VPI was equal or a tad bet... | |
| John Hurlbut & Jorma Kaukonen - "The River Flows" Did Justin Guip engineer these? I think the first 6 months of pandemic I didn't miss one of Jorma's Saturday night live streams from Fur Peace. Got me through. Check out his River of Time record, CD, but one of the best sounding ever. And Jack and... | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 I have very similar space. Relatively live room. I tried some very expensive speakers...and none of them sounded good enough for me, some no better than my old Allison CD8s. Some worse. Until I bought a used set of MB Quart QSL 830s. You can get t... | |

| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Riaa, just to follow-up on source quality, for a moment so as not to hijack thread, for decades like most people I just accepted LP and CD differences, sometimes one better than the other. But it took hearing various pressings of the same LP to un... |
