What’s your top 5 Christmas albums ?
Then it was digitally remastered. The 1962 original is glorious. 
To amp or preamp?
If I had to choose I would have to say like Eric Alexander when asked what is the most important part of a speaker, "Everything!" Its simply not true that the preamp is more important than the amp, or vice versa. Ditto speaker, speaker cable, powe... 
Reviews on JungSon amp/preamp combo: JA-1/JA-99C
Actually the experience with the dealer was fine. The problem is the dealer had to step up and make good out of his own pocket. Months later he told me they gave him the same treatment and so he never placed another order and completely dropped al...

Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT?
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case I'd say more like ten thousand. 
Separate grounded outlet for audio setup
Am just thinking that if the setup is separately grounded (ie what they do in hospitals for special equipment) that the power would be cleaner & no need for a conditioner.Doesn't work that way. Sorry. I know this is what everyone thinks. Bu... 
Where to go after Anticables Level 3 power cords?
The all-time gold standard in power cords in that price range is the Synergistic Research Master Coupler. Its not the gold standard because its the very best. Its the gold standard because its so doggone good that its been made for 30 years and it... 
Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT?
What's off is your spindle to pivot distance, which you already know is "a few inches outside spec".  So here's the deal. All the alignment we're doing is to get the record to drag the stylus across smoothly without too much error. That's why some...

Haven't heard either one. But if the Avenger Reference isn't astoundingly night and day mesmerizingly impossibly in a whole new league better than a Scout, well then Harry would be out of business. And that sure ain't the case. So yeah, big jump. 
What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless?
Hilarious. This is why a lot of times I post my answer and never come back. Because its a virtual certainty the thread devolves into Lord of the Flies spats.  What a shame. For the record, the OP posed a question that exposed a deeply flawed point... 
To amp or preamp?
Amps make a huge difference. As do cables. As does the fuse inside the amp. As does the interconnect between the pre amp and the amp. As does whatever is or is not supporting the pre amp, amp, cables, and interconnect. As does.... well you get the... 
step up 220 voltage converter for Line Magnetic amp
If you live in the US then you already have 220. The US is on a 220v standard. Most of your house circuits are 110 simply because they draw off of only one leg of the two coming into the panel. To convert your 110 to 220 simply replace the existi... 
Too terminate or not
And here I was all this time thinking its the human condition. When in reality its only the one person and we can immanentize the eschaton.   Meanwhile, in other news, one member has just accused another of being responsible for all human sufferin... 
Audiophile system for Techno and Dance music
Tekton Moabs with 4 or 5 subs will rock your techno like nobody's business. Sorry. Nobody's business was the bees knees 30 years ago. Substitute modern vernacular for whatever is currently in vogue for awesome, which dang that's out of date too.  ...
