Best Phono Stage
Pleased to see the recommendations for the Zesto Andros. Before I went with my Atma-Sphere MP-1 full function preamp, I almost bought a Zesto. Ever since I heard one at RMAF, I was sure that it was about the best phono stage ever. Beautiful, lusc... 
Vladimir Lamm RIP
Sad news. His name was actually Shuschurin (sp?). I had spoken with him several times. His creations are truly top notch. He especially favored his tube amps.  
Why Do You Post?
My central experience on this forum has been to learn about ways fellows have advanced their systems. AC, amps, tweaks, etc. When a critical mass of posts rave positively or promote a particular issue, it clearly becomes something that should be c...

AGD are Gan based Class D. However, their Gan “chip” is proprietary.  
Competitive class D amp suggestions
I run AGD Audion mono blocks. They are destination amps for me. For decades, I was a die hard SET guy. Was always turned away from SS because of the SS glare or edge. Not a problem with the AGDs. And the lack of distortion is a game changer. Kno... 
Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm?
My only experience with Klipsch are Heresys. I guess the Khorns now have a different and better tweeter. Surely, Ralph, your Classic Audio Horns are a different world than Khorns? Have you heard the 75th Anniversary ones?  
Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm?
Oh my, forgive the misspelling of Klipschhorn!  
Contact Enhancer Q45T
My wife previously thought my system was great but clearly said that the improvement with NPS Q45T took the SQ to a new level. IME, I always feel that the SQ could not possibly get better… until it does. If describing the effect of Q45T in one w... 
Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind
I used to be a dealer for Audioengine. Certainly cool, useful stuff but WAY low fi. You get what you pay for.  
dust protection for turntables
Mine is covered by a nice silk scarf. Although it sometimes catches on my tonearm. Best when I put it on and take it off very carefully.  
How do you arrange the order of your records?
The records between my mono blocks are only there long enough for a rotation of the 10 or so. About 3 days. And my mono blocks are AGD Audions Class D. They run very cool. Guess I will always prefer random like the shuffle setting on a CD player.... 
Contact Enhancer Q45T
When I say $345 is more like $34,500 it surely is a reflection of my satisfaction. And a direct reference to actual money spent in my $135,000 system. Can an actual amount be quantified.? Not really. Is it a highly subjective, emotional comment?... 
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
+1 Townsend Podiums These produced, perhaps, the greatest improvement in SQ then any component, Worth many times the price.  
Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today
After installing Fideliums in my system, my thoughts were that there would be a flood of high priced speaker cables on the used market. I was using very highly thought of $6K cables that are now relatively junk in comparison.  A main feature of F... 
Contact Enhancer Q45T
Now on for 24 hours, I am even more stunned. In a nutshell, it makes music more beautiful. Have yet to do any AC cords. Only all other contacts-ICs and speaker. $345 is more like $34,500 in improvements.
