| suggestions for new phono stage The Aesthetix Rhea is a high gain phono stage so, no problem with your cartridge but, it is physically big and uses ten tubes. I have a Rhea Signature that easily beats the Chinook and also has three inputs. A used Rhea fits your budget's upper li... | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's I second the suggestion for a Chinook. I recommend keeping an eye out on all the "sites" for one that has a set of upgrade opamps in it. | |
| What would I gain/lose? This is not exactly on topic but, a parallel situation that I had to address and maybe will be of use for someone else reading this. My very elderly mother had a Salamander cabinet with the space for small speakers above the regular shelves. We tr... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords @acman3 , I've tried that, doesn't help. The more fanatical types see that as a challenge and an open invitation to continue to try to intervene in other people's lives to "save" them from themselves. Yet, I don't see the federal or state governme... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords Well, my fellow audiophiles, we may be doomed. We are again condemned for failing to pray at the alter of the oscilloscope. The wrath of the oscilloscopians is upon us. Are we to be smitten by the gods of the cult of the lead and leather eared for... | |
| Unplated copper spades/banana Re: the tarnishing of bare copper, well, if you have a strong preference for how a bare copper connector sounds, you will likely be willing to have to do some periodic maintenance to clean it. Spade = best chance for better sound, Banana = more co... | |
| Unplated copper spades/banana This same question can be applied to power receptacles and power cord plugs and IEC ends. It's not a matter of one being better than the other, they are just different. I comes down to personal preference and what you perceive as a good or poor ma... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords Ok, I will address the requests for more info. BTW, to those who contend that power cords or even all cables make no difference, I consider you and your wallet to be lucky since you have no need to spend lots of money on wire. The rest of us are ... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR I have a question for everyone on this thread. All of you are far more knowledgeable than me about this subject. I have a V15 type V cart that is not in use at the moment. It has an Ed Saunders stylus. I think that those styli were sort of an "eco... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets My view is that there are two main considerations about receptacles (also includes cord plugs and IEC connectors). First, what is the base metal used for the product. There is basic brass that is the norm for commercial products, Hubbell, etc. Th... | |

| Need Advice Asap - Terrible experience with a seller on Reverb (Iso Acoustics Gaia ii) Same here. I also got stung by a Reverb seller. | |
| Starting Over and I need your help I'm not familiar with your components except for the Node 2i. The sound of the Node can be improved with an aftermarket power supply kit. There are several choices available. I bought the LHY kit from Beatechnik which is in Singapore. I would reco... | |
| Free Tip for Jumpers I would like to see if the consensus here is that the OP's suggested wiring is the preferred choice rather than the reverse, that being red lead to tweeter and black lead to midrange/bass. I could test this out myself but, access to one speaker i... | |
| A day in the life of an audiophile I get what you are saying. You may want to read up about the hearing condition known as hyperacusis. I could be their poster boy. Example: having to wear hearing attenuators or just basic ear plugs just to unload the dishwasher. |
