| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. How about RCA cables. Check out Hapa Audio cables, specifically the Quiescence series. Even in my budget setup they made a world of difference in resolution and soundstage. | |
| Budget Phono preAmp +1 for the Project Tube Box S2. Replace the tubes with a set of Gold Lion from Upscale and you have a real decent setup on your hands. I also bought a linear power supply for it and that bumps it even better. | |
| MC cartridges I bought my Benz Micro Zebra through Osage Audio. Dude knew his stuff to help me match to my tonearm and found one on manufacturer demo for a solid deal. Definitely a salesman directing my choice to higher $ than I wanted to spend, but his advice ... | |
| Need your help on SPEAKER CABLE... Are you opposed to DIY? I did a set of 10g wires made up of 4 twisted pairs of 16g in a counter rotating geometry and terminated them with KLE banana plugs and cardas silver solder. Cost was about 200 I believe, and they are fantastic. Another opt... | |
| Help with first cable upgrade. I had a set full of blue jeans a while back which were great for years, then I had the opportunity to demo a set of considerably stupid money by comparison from Hapa Audio. Holy crap what a difference. Like absolutely 2 different tracks entirely. ... | |

| Schiit Sol or Rega Planar 6? If you can get one right now, I would say don't overlook the Sol. I just received my Sol last week. Absolutely amazing. Setup is easy provided you like tinkering (which I do). Really it isn't bad at all to get the basic assembly done, and the adju... | |
| Phono Stage That's not Schiit I picked up a Project Tube Box S2 (not the DS2) a while back. Multiple gain and loading options available so matching to different carts is easy. Replaced the tubes with some Gold Lions, then bought a linear power supply to top it off. Now with th... | |
| Treble harshness - interconnects as culprits? I have to agree that there could be a few different things going on with the system, but that the IC really don't help. I have some Blue Jeans cables and I just did a demo with Hapa Breathe C cables, and holy crap was I impressed. Definitely spend... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tonight we're playing some GoGo Penguin - S/T 2x180g which is awesome, while also catching up on some paperwork from the week which is not so awesome. | |
| Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it! Saw this post yesterday and so naturally I had to go fiddle this evening. It's amazing how a cartridge can wiggle over time and get out of alignment. SO much better after resetting the alignment. Thank you for the reminder to check your s!*รท. |
