Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
@fair Nicely written.    Gonna have to read more of your stuff!  
Ported speakers and class D amps
What amp are these class d amps going up against? It probably doesn’t matter your ps300 is awesome…maybe just accept that? Mine replaced a Musical reference tube amp!    
Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget.
Although I deeply appreciate the 1500 …I suspect the Japanese would not have left that flimsy tonearm LIFT design leave THEIR factories for fear of shame. Kidding….(sorta )  
Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget.
@stereo5 I’ve returned a Malaysian 1200GR and a 1500C with wobbly platters which I (admittedly anecdotally) attribute to production move cost savings measures. They are actually now trying to justify visible platter wobble as being in spec. That w... 
Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget.
If you go for the 1500…and it is delivered with auto lift location issue…do not panic…it may just need adjustment…unfortunately even from the factory…just google the process and try to adjust before returning. I’ve read a lot about this and suspec...

@rar1 nicely written…and I so agree…especially about the cart…For me…those Ortofons (especially the Red… do not do this table justice) FWIW…my words are from personal experience. Had the 1500 in my system..with some nice carts/pre. IN short, I t... 
12AU7 tubes for a Rouge Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated
+10. RCA clear top….   I actually used in Pharaoh…which to me brought out the best in the unit.  
Jumped the shark. ???
Be interested in any Pharoh 2 thoughts…had the one and was very impressed. The sound was eventually TOO clean for me…but really really liked where it was going. I’m definitely not anti class d as I LOVE my Ps Audio Stellar. the only other gripe…a... 
Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake?
Agree with mwinkc. Also, I’ve personally seen both the aq Columbia packaging and the jacket material change dramaticly between purchases from legit dealers.  
Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake?
@willywonka …respectfully, does each single cable have a unique serial number? The reason I ask…is a serial number may not buy you that much either… only if you can use it to validate with mfg. I think the best, but not perfect answer is to reque... 
MoFi controversy
Be interesting to see if this affects sales of their new tables… Not saying it should…but…to me it tarnishes the entire brand. I don’t own any Mofi pressings anymore…the original pressings always sounded as good or better to me…I did have a Dark... 
The thing about objectivists is...
@theaudiomaniac    no dog in this fight…but man, that’s funny😂.   
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
And let’s not get started on “Hi-Res” downloads….   Be interesting what happens…but this seems prime for a class action lawsuit… (make sure to look for your receipts 😙).  You’ll probably get your settlement check the same day as the Equifax check…  
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
Sad but not surprising if true. However, I’ve never been that impressed by Mofi…they’ve seemed dubious since the”half speed master” days…and their  recent expensive reissues I’ve purchased are inferior to the originals. To me…Mofi is pure hype an... 
Technic’s Malaysian turntables …QC experience/ feedback from actual users/owners?
