Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!!
To the OP, you knowingly purchased a used product originally sourced from a non-authorized dealer and then tried to modify/dismantle the product in a way the manufacturer did not intend.  Yet, you still want someone else to cover for you.  Take so... 
Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components?
I can understand some of the disappointment and anger directed at ARC.  They are not the same company as they used to be.  The new management has clearly moved the company towards being a more luxury brand and wants to charge higher prices then be... 
Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle
Not every manufacturer agrees with the high mass for driver paradigm.  If you don't like Linkwitz's design philosophy, then don't buy them, or start a company and make better products than he does. 
Question: Need Help with Cover Art Not Being Displayed on the Aurender N10 Music Server
What file format are your music files? 
I've Noticed Lately That There's Threads About Being Noticed Lately
This post was inspired by comments said in the British parliament discussion of banning Donald Trump from entering Great Britain.  One of the members stated, to paraphrase,  that Trump shouldn't be banished, but as a buffon he should be ridiculed.  
How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime?
The reason they used a simply recording techniques is because they didn't have any alternatives.  4 or 8 track recorders weren't in general use, so everything had to fit on two channels.  As a result engineers used a small number of microphones an... 
Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap?
Let's be honest, young thuggish, ghetto blasting, bling bedecked, dope dealing, underage impregnanting, drive-by shooting and civilization threatening rappers don't need big, thick  and inflexible cables to compensate for their physical short-comi... 
Jazz for aficionados
Frogman, why do you even bother?  Do you think after two years a light bulb is suddenly going to turn on above his head?  Look at his user name -- the id doesn't respond to logical arguments and I suspect a rocking id even less so. 
What turntable would be great for techno/ electronic music?
The Rega has a reputation for great rhythmic drive, more so than the Technics direct drive models. 
Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system
Tostadosunidos, I am not accusing you of racial bias.  I am simply pointing out that the line of argument you take is similar to that taken historically by racially bias people.  Black music was always referred to as simple and primitive.  People ... 
Onzow Zero Dust - cleaning the cleaner
This was recently written up in Stereophile -- http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Moongel Substantially cheaper and still reusable. 
Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system
It's a form of white privilege to assert that in a racially biased society, the USA, that something is not about race.  You are using your whiteness to deny non-whites the legitimacy of their experiences.  The issue of race has been one of the def... 
ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ???
I would argue that if you can make a good living on being an audiophile, then you qualify for the T-E-A.  That would mainly be designers, manufacturers, retailers, but also a few reviewers.  But just because they are experts, doesn't mean they wil... 
ARC VT100MK2 substitute
I think the OP is really tired of the retubing and he wants a new amp that won't sound bright with his other components. 
When is your Hifi good enough?
I interpret this question as a variation of "at what point does diminishing returns start to set in?"  I take it as axiomatic that any system, from the intro audiophile to those pushing the SOTA, can be improved upon.  For me it comes down to a ca...
