| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ jetter For a $5K unit some persons would want a bit of an explanation of what’s going on to make it work. Mildly surprised Tim hasn't. Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to know? Right down to the parts list, cheapest/best places to buy them- oh, and as... | |
| Where to Buy Fuses for my OTL power blocks? Here's the problem with your plan: you're used to the way your amp sounds with the Black fuse. So when you stick the crap one in you are gonna think your PSU is broken. So you send it out for repair. And $500 later it comes back with a note, "Test... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? Yeah sure, why not? Sounds like a really nice vintage combo to me. Clean it up, lube it up, slap a nice new belt on and enjoy! | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Ghost of Tom Joad, the exception to the Springsteen Rule (Great music, bad recording).Michael Ruff Speaking in Melodies, the Sheffield LP, 1299 of 5000. Always forget the name of the Swedish guy on trombone which is a crime, as he delivers two... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 My Technics SL-1700 was bought new in 1973. I still have it. It still runs. I prefer my Teres. But forever turntable? The Technics certainly qualifies. | |
| Puzzled about reasons why there seems to be no shortage of used planner speakers It was the Magnolia HiFi in the university district. We also went over to Hawthorn after Magnolia so she could get a feel for how different used gear was selling for. It just happened that we went there directly after listening a $ 100K system. Wi... | |
| Nice MM Phone Preamp to use while main unit is getting repaired? Oh, the humanity! You had a Herron, in a few weeks you're gonna have an even better Herron, which means it cannot possibly matter what you use in the meantime. When my 911 is in the shop do I care what other car I drive? There's two kinds of cars:... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers "Downsizing"? To speakers that are "under 20k/pair"?I would get the one that does the best job of reproducing the sound of the world's tiniest violin. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Not Signals? https://www.better-records.com/product.aspx?pf_id=rush_signa_1901Subdivisions and New World Man are two of my favorites! | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? Synergistic Research Master Coupler. Hands down. One and done. Not that I would ever recommend buying anything like this without comparing several contenders, preferably in your own system. But look. SR has been making this same power cord for ove... | |
| Old tubes vs New tubes tuberistI used to spend money on NOS tubes and have discovered some new production sounds superior IMO. I’m off the NOS carousel now.The only one I am curious and might actually try is the EAT KT88 Diamond. At about $400 each a set is about what I... | |
| best under $1000 digital front end new or used? Well since your priority is sound quality only: Go on CraigsList, search under FREE until you find one. This will leave you with $1000 to spend on analog. And you can't do better than that. | |
| Puzzled about reasons why there seems to be no shortage of used planner speakers Its hard enough building a really satisfying music system without making things even harder by choosing components that narrow your choices and flexibility. You don't have to have owned a pair to understand this. I even get the impression from you... | |
| Old tubes vs New tubes In KT88’s I’ve run Svetlana, JJ, Tung-Sol, and Melody. At least they say Melody. But its a Melody amp, probably they screen it on, who knows who made the tube.Before the Melody, in my Aronov we ran all those same brands of tubes, except that amp w... |
