| Is Van den Hul Frog Gold a good choice for my rig? Seems a single major upgrade brings longer reward. 😃 Although, I suppose you just upgraded as models were released. Audio Research PH 2, 2SE, 3, 3SE, 5, 8, and finally an ARC Ref 3  | |

| Testing your system Yes, the music is paramount. But it has to sound good. My breakthrough was when I realized that everything sounded great on the system. The days of only seeking out the best recordings on the quietest vinyl were over. Particularly striking are 50s... | |
| Need to increase Zoom sound level issues when streaming to Audio System @hgeifman Tell me about it! It happens us all. Too often the solution is staring us in the face. Best of luck. | |
| Need to increase Zoom sound level issues when streaming to Audio System No one suggested that because we assumed you had tried that already. It's not rocket science! | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G Small room. I’d go with a pair of REL T5x. I have REL S3 and love them. Even though the 5x are small, they work well in a small room. You don’t want to overpower the space. | |
| Tracking down a hum. If it goes away as system warms up, it may be a power supply capacitor issue. | |

| Change of plans! Interesting. I’m happy enough with my 4 lesser Deccas. Judging from the sound of the ascending order of mine, I suspect that the more one goes up the ladder, the more damped they become, to the point where the Reference might be the least exciting... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I Am Kloot – Sky At Night (PIAS 2010) | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby?

So, slightly warm = dull, a little bright = searing, dry sounding = etched and colorless etc. | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Go to AXPONA etc. Buy used if possible. Concrete floor (and walls) if possible. High price doesn't mean it's good. | |
