I dropped by early on Friday and one of the Pass Labs mono's was not working and he was using a different amp. Compromised his sound a bit. Sounds like he got it together but I never got back th... | |

| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! I thought the Devore/Luxman room was underwhelming, I think it had to be the room. The system was displayed in a ballroom.VPI's new statement piece Vanquish was very interesting driven by Krell electronics, wired with Nordost. I think the Kef Mu... | |

| My tonearm must be wired out of phase Thanks for responding, I switched the white and blue leads with the red and green. Out of phase might not be the correct terminology.Perhaps as mijostyn suggested the clips are on the wrong wire inverting phase. Similarly, my CJ preamp inverts p... | |

| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Consumers are not being replaced as they move on.....for me I am doing so many other things since I retired that I do not spend near as much time with the system. And I won't spend the same amount on upgrades or changes like I did while working. ... | |
