| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? Just a different recommendation, Lavardin C-42. Close to 4keuros. I guess it will get more than 80% there. Really like their integrated ones. | |
| What causes Pops? @erik_squires Nice one. | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges I rather go with the best cartridge i can have, i have only one and keep it till i listen to something better or till it goes to cartridge heaven. Then a new one. In the past i had about five at a time but still i was listening to the one i thoug... | |

| If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like? I bet he would not use any wire for power. And everything would work with resonance control. | |
| Anyone else think that Kid A sounds alot like Mingus? Radiohead and Mingus are unique, Kid A is A all the way and inspired by many styles as kroutrock, jazz, and leftfield electro. It took 15 months to record, pretty long time for a pop/rock band. | |
| Phono Cable, is it necessary? If you connect directly to tonearm, light for not transmitting any feedback and flexible and light if your turntable has a suspension. If connecting to rca on your turntable’s plinth most good interconnects would do. Keep distances reasonably shor... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? Not my favourites of that period, but they were an alternative. I have the feeling though that most stopped after Murmur, especially Stipe’s passion and Buck’s ideas and exquisite guitar playing. Still, Lifes Rich Pageant (the beginning of an end... | |
| How to interpret Japanese cartridge compliance measurements. If not otherwise stated, Japanese measurements are a bit different, they give dynamic compliance at 100hz, to convert this to 10hz which is the European and USA standard multiply with 1,5-2, a bit complicated as this would be a rough estimate. Eur... | |
