| Receiver help Budget? For pretty damn cheap you can get the Yamaha R-S202BL. Sweet little receiver that also has built-in Bluetooth. Found a place on-line that has some for $109.99. | |

| Tune of the Day Taylor Swift-"Hey Stephen"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jDZ3o_zTiUOne of my guiltily pleasure songs. Sounds GREAT on a properly setup high-end system. Try it! | |
| Dual Golden 1 Turntable has low volume even with phone stage?? Make sure that the head-shell locking collar is fully engaged and tight up around the head-shell. Maybe even remove the head-shell and make sure nothing got inside the arm where it attaches. Then reseat the head-shell and make sure it is snug. | |
| What's the best (or is there a "best") DAC input to use? I have tried almost every connection for a DAC. Of course, it depends on what the DAC will accept, but over the course of at least 100 DACs, this is my take on the best:1. I2S2. Firewire3. AES/EBU4. Coax with BNC5. Coax with RCA6. USB7. AT... | |

| Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help @krelldog...these were/are known also as subsonic filters. I'm sure you've owned at least one preamp or phono stage that had one. They used to be pretty prominent on preamps, but not so much now. | |
| Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help Sounds to me like you might be getting acoustic feedback/acoustic breakthrough/intermodulation distortion/rumble through the speakers.This happens if the system is turned up too loud and the speakers are causing the arm/cart to excite. A rumble fi... | |
| Which good CD transports can be found in the used market? Depending on your budget, CEC makes some of the best transports available. Here is a CEC CD player, but it would make a really sweet transport, (has AES/EBU, Coax RCA and toslink outputs).https://www.audiogon.com/listings/cd-sacd-players-c-e-c-cd... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? There is no way that I could come up with a list of the speakers I have owned over the past 22 years. If I could, it would make the OP's list look pretty small :-) | |
| Adding a turntable to my system Your Marantz AV7005 does NOT have a built-n phono stage, so you will need, in addition to the turntable, an external phono stage.BTW, the Debut Carbon is an excellent starter table. It doesn't have a phono stage inboard, but most of these within ... |
