| Needle resilience +1 on a tonearm lifter. I too have one on each arm - wouldn't live without it. | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD I'd take the Kuzma Stabi R over the others. I had a Kuzma Stabi R and they are fantastic tables - built like tanks and can accommodate multiple arms. You can also get the Stabi R in a wood frame, which is what I had. The only reason I sold is tha... | |
| Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting New albums prices have now increased to an average of $30 and quite frankly it's becoming ridiculous. I will also be looking into upgrading my digital end as the streaming sound quality/content is getting better and buying less vinyl in 2024. | |
| Soundsmith cartridges Hopefully there is a way to upgrade the latest Mk2 ES to the new MR version. Haven't seen any reviews on the new MR though. | |
| Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises If moving the turntable and/or subwoofer does not work, your cheapest option, as others have pointed out is to install the KAB RF1 subsonic filter. However, this will require that you insert the filter in between the phonostage and the amplifier ... | |
| Pass Labs XP-25 Outputs @alan60 - what cartridge and SUT (ratio) are you using with the XP-25. Thanks. RK | |
| Step Up Transformer Question There are folks on here making blatant statements about diminishing returns of an SUT. Being an owner of some of the finer SUT's (EMIA Ag, Cotter Mk2L, Tango Silver), I can tell you definitely that not all SUT's are equal. The statements being m... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k You should be able to get a Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC option at $15k as the new 333 is out (or coming soon). It is one of the best integrated amp at this price - lotsa power. It will blow away the Naim. What speakers do you have? | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? I have the Soulnote E-2 phonostage. The MC output is mediocre - I'm using the other two inputs as MM with SUT and sounds fantastic. Moved from the ARC Ref 2SE due to subsonic issues and the E-2 has a filter. My only complaint is that MC loadings... | |
| XLR recomendation I would recommend Chen Audio Labs WRT cables. They offer a free trial and are reasonably priced. https://chenaudiolab.com/id103.html | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to All! Happy Turkey Day. Be thankful for being able to enjoy the music. | |

| HT Receivers Compared It's hard to compare 2-channel to multi-channel - different purposes IMO. | |
| Centers - Go big or go home I had the Sonus Faber Cermona a few years ago and sold it when I went full on 2-channel. I've revived my home theater system since I got a new TV and I miss the Cermona. it was almost like they took the floor standing version and chopped it in h... | |
| What Cartridge Manufacturers Will Retip Their Moving Coil Cartridges For A Fee? I think Soundsmith has the best deal for re-tips/rebuilds. Their top cartridges have great reviews and people do like them - you should be able to find something compatible with your Sumiko. The Hyperion ES Mk II, their top MI cartridge retails f... |
