For starters you’re not even getting 50% of what’s on the CD anyway. There are too many serious issues with CD Player performance, after all these years. The CDs themselve... | |
| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? My goodness, what a lot of misinformation!If "auditory memory isn't all that long" then how is it a woman ever remembers what the cry of her baby sounds like?

| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Hey, it just occurred to me, I am the original owner of a 1977 Technics SL-1700. Still with its original Stanton 681EEE cartridge- complete with its original wood box and paperwork! The dust cover is gone, the cantilever is bent, the bearing is dr... | |

Being new you have no way of knowing we have someone here with near zero experience and practical knowledge who nevertheless loves to opine as if he were an expert on every subject imagineable.

Not only is this a waste of time and money, you run the risk of introducing ground loop hum and/or DC offset causing transformer noise. Whole system on one circuit, another circuit for lights and m... | |

| Technics SL 1200 VS Marantz 6300 Is it worth it? In what sense? This is the most important question to answer because more than any other component, even speakers, turntables are about a lot more than just sound. Most of us put a lot of value in how they look and feel as well. Un... | |
