Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated.......
OMG- this thing was $7k!?!?!?!!!  For that you could buy a Raven and a Decware and be set for life! Beautiful to look at too! Instead of this monster of an ugly box - that doesn't even work! And yet people bought them! Who says advertising doesn't... 
One Cord To Rule Them All
Credentialism is bunk. All a degree means is you know all the same stuff everyone else with the same degree knows. So you can build the same bridge, or the same circuit, everyone else with the same degree can build. Instead of Smurf Level 4 you ar... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
tonywinga- While not always practical or easy to accomplish, the most efficient use of funds would be to insure every link in the stereo chain is equivalent. How right you are.  Behold! https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
Anton, You are new so let me explain. There's only a very small number of productive, thinking, sentient people here. There is a relatively larger number of these who come and read (lurkers) but seldom if ever contribute. The reason they do not co... 
Cable Elevators
Please visit my system page https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Please note the Cable Elevators used throughout. Please read the comments from Deborah: During the middle of one song (I had my eyes closed) ,Chuck took the cables off the Cable... 
Quick Poll on USB Cable: Audioquest Carbon or Shunyata Venom?
Perfeck. 
Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...?
You tried cables and heard what they can do and so you probably have a pretty good idea that it will be worth it if you can just find the right ones. This can be a whole lot easier than you think. Synergistic Research has been making really good r... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk
Raven isn't exactly entry level. Kind of like saying the Cayman is an entry level car. For Porsche? Sure. Compared to other cars? Dream on. Same here. There's tons of reviews and comments comparing these to much more respected and expensive amps. ... 
Is this Cartridge Alignment good?
Yeah well big picture the error he is looking at here is less than the normal tracking error as the arm moves across a record. People fuss over every micron often times forgetting that micron only matters at two infinitely small points per side. 
Magnetic levitation feet
Functionally the same as a progressive spring. Within the tiny range of motion playing music it is probably pretty linear and with freedom of motion in all planes should be about as good as any other spring. The drawback with all springs is they a... 
moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's
Put them on Townshend Podiums. They cut the bass leaving my room dramatically. They also controlled resonances that greatly making for tighter, deeper, but much smoother bass. Also make a great improvement in overall clarity, detail and tone. Inst... 
A strange business model for audio
This happens a lot. Happened to me even. A lot of people make the same mistake, but I am sure you will agree when you see it is really Billy Crystal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gbDgptNlvA 
Is this Cartridge Alignment good?
With correct alignment the stylus will touch perfectly dead center in that circle. I can see dead center in every photo but no stylus in any of them so that tells me your overhang is wrong. Correct it like petg60 said and you should be fine. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Am I crazy? Definitely!
Mighty Moabs will rock your world, jazz you up, and give you the blues like never before. Forget used, buy new, and on Townshend Podiums you will still be under $10k and nothing but nothing will touch that not for anywhere near that amount of money.
