Phono preamp make crackling noise
The real culprit behind phono stage noise is the fact there has to be a huge amount of gain. Unlike line stage components (CDP, tuner, DAC) all of which have outputs in the range of single digit volts (why they are all called line stage in the fir... 
I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?
L100s! I could only dream of L100s! Best I could do with my newspaper route money was the L26. When they went on sale. Was always a bit jealous of my friend who somehow managed to save up for the L36.

Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Today’s post is brought to you by the letter "S".The letter "S" has the Super Power of being able to turn singular into plural. But not always! Due to a design flaw it can only do this when used at the end of a word. Luddite Forces in the Audiover... 
A Shockingly Straightforward Query
Since you can't audition either one then the choice is simple: buy the one you can return no questions asked.If neither one can be returned then the choice is even easier: keep looking.

What, he asked of Audiogon's reigning physicist, is a "Quantum well"? 
Why Sinatra???
Frank Sinatra is like Tom Cruise. I'm tired of that guy being in so many movies. Why is that guy in so many movies? Uh, talent. 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
More Audiokinesis gold:The ear simply does not have the time-domain resolution to hear a slight timing mis-match in the subwoofer region. The ear is UNABLE to even detect the presence of bass energy from less than one full wavelength, compared to ...
