| LP12 Hum If you have a separate ground wire from the Linn to the phono preamp, try removing it. The Rega arm has a strapped ground in the left channel and a separate ground causes a ground loop. | |
| Tired of all the gimmicky pricing, i.e. $999.99 or $927 Anything .95 or .99 is pathetic. What would enlightened folks from the future think about pricing something for $3999 in the hopes of fooling the customer's mind that it isn't four big ones? | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? $50000 to them is nothing compared to $3200 for us. So in effect, what you perceive as expensive is actually a bargain. | |
| Looking for a cartridge upgrade I've not heard the Kleos in a Linn, only a in the direct drive VPI. It has a great reputation. The top Dynavectors might also work. Why not try a inexpensive Audio Technica VM760SLC as an experiment to get a benchmark on something different. You m... | |

| Why People Like Tekton @tomic601 Respectfully, I disagree that "hyper detail" is distortion. Low noise floor, responsive electronics, and light diaphragms help. none hyper detailed as that leading edge exaggeration is distortion… | |
| Speaker placement With 23 feet to play with, you’ve got to be able to find another 12-24". Considering that John Atkinson found the Impact Monitor and Enzo to have lower sensitivity, I’d bet the Lore is not 98dB. "My estimate of the Impact’s sensitivity was 87.5d... | |
| OCC cables anyone? My post from 2014: Audiogon Discussion Forum | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? Like acting, gardening, and cooking, you either have it in your soul or you don't. So, tell me, how does one learn soo much about audiophiledom. | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? What's your budget? Do you need more than one phono input? | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? New tube phono and SUT. | |
| when did it all get so complicated? If you have a headphone jack on your computer, you can just use a 2.5mm jack to RCA cable to the Croft. | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Can you leave the preamp switched on and only use the power supply switch to power it up thus avoiding the surge? |
