| what is the problem with too much tracking force? If you make any azimuth or other adjustments measure VTF afterwards again, as it has the potential to accidentally get moved a bit with many tonearm designs. FWIW, Walkeraudio.com has an old article on it that explains turntable setup very clearly... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Which Avishai Cohen, the bassist or the saxophonist? Both are great! Darker Nights and Live at the Blue Note both are amazing.Don't see that everyday, LOL. Cheers,Spencer | |
| best integrated amp. With planars like Maggies the more surface area you have the better the ability to reproduce low frequencies. The 3.7s or 3.7i's will be an improvement as expected, especially in a larger room. Mye stands or similar are also worthy of consideratio... | |

| Auralic Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node ll vs Sonos @jond Are you using the built-in DAC? If so, let me spend your money by saying that you have significant upgrade potential with most external DACs.

He works for one of the world's top orchestras and the combo makes him & his guests very happy. I am a JL fan, but haven't... | |

| Do female audiophiles exist @mewsickbuff You would think so, but I've run into a few guys who can't even listen to a whole song. All they want to do is play test tracks for 30 seconds and A/B test until the cows come home. The best way to shut them up is to ask them what new... | |
| Audio Forums, On-line Store Fronts, and the Art-of-Deception watts, it's kinda weak to raise the issue and not name names so that everyone knows. FWIW, I agree with your sentiment and regularly get annoyed here with many dealers & manufacturers posting here without disclosure. If their products are legi... | |

| Best significant upgrade? Dac? Preamp? @c_s Your comments echo my experiences after moving to a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC. I also found that moving from a MacMini as music server to a dedicated audio streamer/renderer (in my case Sonore microRendu) adds another big improvement. Digit... |
