Electra Tube Connectors and GR Research Speaker Update Kits
I have dealt with Danny, he is a nice honest guy that truly cares about helping you improve your sound. I have one of his monitors with sonicaps, mills resistors and foil inductors. I had a pair of towers sitting in a closet I wanted to sell or tr... 
Cost to Rewire a Tonearm?
salectric did you use the $20 a foot 32awg Discovery wire. Hearing the zavfino was only moderate upgrade from Cardas is making me rethink re wiring my arm with Zavfino. I don’t really use the table but I hate see it just sitting there year after y... 
Cost to Rewire a Tonearm?
I’m considering Zavfino tone arm wire for a re wire job on a Well Tempered arm that’s been in the closet for a few years. I don’t know if it’s true but I have a couple friend that have used it and compared it to the Audio Note wire.  
RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
I might add this if you are flipping cables and gear around, in my system nothing sounds good for 24 to 48 hours running system 24/7 till things settle down again. Everything sounds thin and wrong. 
RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
Nick, I don't know how other people run RME but I run everything flat. I would think most people don't use volume on RME going into a preamp, I could be wrong. I set mine to 0.0, anything above doesn't sound as natural in my system. Sometime I wil... 
RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
Nick, you may want to watch the video’s on how to operate the RME, that are produced by RME, there are maybe 5 or 6 of them. I have never looked at the book I learned everything from video’s, watched each one a few times. You may have adjusted som... 
RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
Nicktheknife, this may be a stupid question since you have owned it 6 months but how many hours of music running through the RME do you have. Do you leave it on 24/7. I found it didn’t sound right until it had a month of run time on it. Have you t... 
Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts
I just now found this out running across this post that’s sad. bdp24 sometimes less is more, I been playing since a little kid and have always thought he was unique and awesome. He’s doing more than you think he plays with his wrists and I love ho... 
Anybody own a component that sounds better with the cover off?
If you really want some bizarre reading go to Mapleshade Audio and read his suggestions for good sound. One of them is never run gear with the covers on. Some of his stuff is out there but a lot of it works you have to let your ears decide.  
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
Emailists, I used the elite 15i not the reference 15 series. I demoed a reference 7 in my home, I believe that’s what is was, it had a silver face plate. I thought it was a nice conditioner and improved the music. It was the cheapest in the refere... 
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
 First power conditioner I ever tried was Running Springs Hayley 15 years ago and I’ve used them ever since. I connected 2 McCormack dna rev a mono blocks, pre and sources and I had never heard what air around each instrument in the soundstage was... 
Need more power, Bi-amping does it work or does it just sound wrong
If I did buy a brute amp instead of a matching amp to run the low end and choose horizontal biamping how would you put a passive volume control on the amp, I’ve never seen that done? I did modify the crossover with better caps, inductors and resis... 
HELP- Auralic Aries keeps scanning/skipping from song to song after 30 seconds
Willrobbins you solved my I problem thank you so much. I just replaced my lost debit card a week a ago with new numbers, never crossed my mind to contact quobuz. I went to quobuz and entered my new card and everything is back to normal. I thought ... 
Favorite Platform for Linn LP12
I do not have my lp12 anymore but did use the target wall mount. Before that I used IKEA lack table top on resting on many different footers. I don’t understand all the dislike for the lp12, with a good power supply, bearing and arm it’s a very en... 
Audible wow on Well Tempered TT
Origin live is the only one, I believe it’s a 35.1 if memory serves me, please don’t quote me on that. My WT has been in the closet for a long time, great table very quiet but have to agree with armstrod it’s fussy and silicone depth needs to matc...
