| So what's the best system out there? Everything is relative and subjective.... How do some of the rest of you plan and build your systems, are you getting where you want to be and most of all, are you taking time to enjoy the music?.....Jim Two ways- for myself, and for others.For others I take whatever they want to spend... | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. Costco sells this thing you plug into the outlet. Then you plug your lamp into the thing. When you press the remote the light goes out. Speakers, everything, whole system disappears. | |

| Turntable Hum The picture I’m getting is there is no hum until the stylus sets down with enough pressure to move the cantilever and that’s when the hum starts. If so not good, as it probably indicates a fault inside the cartridge itself. Simple test, watch clos... | |

| H.H Scott 460A Integrated Amp Your 80's comment had me worried. The 80's were awful for SS amps as so many chased after high wattage and low distortion instead of good sound. But the Scott seems to be from a bit before that and at any rate the web says good https://audiokarma.... | |

Compliance is another one of those things that seems like it should be a big deal until you actually test it out and discover its not all that important after all. Which if you go on the Origin Live website and read up on their tone arm design phi... | |
| Custom tonearm boards - who makes them to spec? Sorry to say, but if you want something made "to specification" don't you need to specify the, uh, specifications?Pardon the pun, but for the record, the only specification that matters is thickness, which even then only needs to put the tone arm ... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Before the Swarm there was the one Talon Roc subwoofer. That came out, intending to sell, when the DBA went in. But too busy to sell it was just sitting there in another room. One thing I've definitely learned about bass: the more sources the bett... | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? bdp24 reiterates and clarifies lewm: It is not a symmetrical situation; if a difference between two competing components---in this instance power cords---is heard, the system is then ipso facto transparent enough to reveal that difference. On the... | |
| What are important features in a listening chair gtechaudio60 nailed it. At least in the budget category. I had a very similar version of this. Light weight. Space-efficient. Supremely comfortable. Not only comfortable, but supports my head just about perfectly without coming up behind the ears.... | |
