| Cary SLP-98 history and iterations The F1 version was a special run for Upscale audio. I loved mine. I would call Cary and ask what are the best bang-for-the-bucks upgrades and buy that new. It’s a product you’ll keep for a lifetime. | |
| Need a little help with Original Parasound JC-1 amp(s) If you use the high bias setting and are driving your loudspeakers hard, they have a significant thermal load. My brother failed his driving Magnepan 3.6s. I think I would set my bias to low unless I was driving easy loads at normal volume. YMMV. | |
| Need a little help with Original Parasound JC-1 amp(s) Paarasound made some improvements and upgrades over the years. How do they sound? | |
| Please any idea how to plug in Tara Labs RCA connectors very close together? Thanks Have the outside barrels turned down. Maybe call Tara Labs. I quit using oversize connectors because of issues like this. | |
| The goal of audio reproduction @jakleiss "I don't care if it matches the real performance exactly. I care that I like it." Well, Doctor, I think you got it right. We are listening to the art of recorded music and playback, not the real thing. | |

| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? Invested? Is that the same thing as blew money on? | |

| IC cable to address RF coming from nearby FM station Sounds like you need shielded tonearm cables. | |

I am usually more interested in the quality of the buyer so as to avoid the risk of problems after the sale, which is a practice that has served me well here for over 20 years. A very good point. I've always been a value shopper, not a price sh... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? The only time it's a problem is when a seller thinks his stuff is worth 95% of retail and a buyer that thinks 50% of retail is a good starting point. Anybody that starts off with NO LOWBALLS is just wasting my time. If you get a low offer, just sa... | |
| Anyone who owns a Technics SU-R1000, can you answer a quick question I still don't know your cart or phono amp setting. | |
| Anyone who owns a Technics SU-R1000, can you answer a quick question Hard to guess with no information on your cartridge or phono amp setting. What stands out to me is that you have high efficiency horns and that might make the built-in phono amp stand out. That's why most prefer a separate phono pre-amp with gain ... |
