| Help an old man out That's the same BS you hear all the time. It is shocking the number of people unable to figure simple things out and seem to think truth is a democracy. 88 is low, impedance is a crock. Look at all the guys with trouble driving speakers. Why they ... | |
| rule of thumb: how long do you leave a tube preamp on versus turning it off then back on? The longer it's on the better it sounds. If you paid what you paid for your amp in order to get good sound, why would you then shoot yourself in the foot trying to save pennies on tubes? | |
| Will Step Up Transformer Improve the Sound Quality? A SUT adds an extra interconnect, and extra connections, into the most sensitive signal path in all of audio. That's not to say it can't be an improvement. Some guys swear by them. Some even go so far as to say all cartridges benefit from a step u... | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Herron, all the way. The VTPH2A is so good, for the money, it must be recommended to anyone with anywhere near the budget. It just seems you have to spend an awful lot more to be even a little better. Yes it uses a FET, so not an all-tube design. ... | |
| Matching SUT for Benz Micro MC Gold Decware makes a couple different ones, with a trade-in program so you can exchange as needed for different cartridges. | |
| My ears are ready to retire! Your ears served you well all these years, and so in retirement you want to reward them with a lifetime sentence of abysmal low rent digital? Man talk about robbing the pension fund! If I was your ears, I would go on strike. Refuse to work. Don't ... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. lewm- MC, Yes, if you can draw a straight line from stylus tip, through the cantilever, that intersects the pivot point, then you have zero skating force.No. Wrong. That is not it. It's overhang. Last chance. Not gonna keep repeating. Explained pe... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? Um, you have terrific speakers, and are looking for something worse. Is that right? And you expect to be able to get worse, yet somehow magically have it sound better. Alas, I only work in reality. Add a couple more subs, forget big you will be en... | |
| Turntable help, please! Your Denon is good enough a lot of the magic will come from the phono stage. Since you want MM or high output MC then the Decware ZP3 will absolutely kill it. Instantly loft your analog front end to top of your system performance. Then clean and l... | |
| Wanting to try a tube amp. Right. I got 92dB but whatever, point is you will be fine with a handful of watts. No need to go used. Raven Nighthawk will do you just fine. https://www.ravenaudio.com/product/nighthawk-mk3-tube-amplifier/ Totally the high value/high sound qualit... | |

Then 6 months goes by and NOTHING! Mine is A+++ across both sides. The one listed now is very close to that. I have some jus... | |
| Help an old man out Your speakers are a very low 88dB, which is a shame, your budget could buy you some incredible fine quality if only you had speakers that don't need 500 watts. All the stuff about bass control, forget it, the problem is low sensitivity speakers. G... | |

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Picasso, Van Gogh, whatever. Wasn't even Starry Night. The Night Cafe. Like it matters. Leave it to an audiophile to go off topic just to show off and get a dig in. Even when they agree, even when it detracts from the point they're trying to make,... |
