| Suggestions For Analog Upgrade - Tonearm or Phono Stage? @mijostyn,Yeah, the 4Point and the Schroeder CB both would be great if I could find the right deal. I've recently seen offerings for Schroeder Model 2, but I'm not quite as pumped for that model. I'm rarely enthusiastic about newer brands and thos... | |
| Suggestions For Analog Upgrade - Tonearm or Phono Stage? Thanks for the responses. @markusthenaimnut, yeah I'd expect the Shelter 901 to be much better than a 17D3. I've owned a 501mkII in the past which was decent on a Nottingham Space Deck. But the XX2 is at a completely different level.With the depre... | |

| Let's Help Bootstrap Young Audiophiles Great inspiring story. @tinear123!Yes, the world would benefit from Big Brothers for audio. Mensches doing hifi mitzvahs!Part of the equation is education that it doesn't have to be hard to get started in the hobby. Here's a quick fun vid my daugh... | |
| USPS records delivery delays Geez, guys, let's not go political and derail the conversation!Right now, I'm crying in my coffee over my Fedex ground shipment that was supposed to land in Austin yesterday coming from a well known Kansas LP oligarchy. Following Fedex updates, da... | |
| Advice sought on sending a preamp from Canada to the US for repair and return The customs forms definitely let you specify that it's a used item being shipped for repairs. You should not have a problem. I'd suggest taking it to FedexOffice and let them fill out the paperwork for you. Go during the slower part of the workday... | |
| Turntable Decision @gareents, Agree that the Schick arms aren't the best match. I've read many comments implying that the longer versions are much preferred and you'll want a shorter arm with the Sota. The Schicks also tend to be paired with heavier vintage cartridg... | |
| Turntable Decision @gareents , Another Sota endorsement here. I have a Nova VI, like in the linked review above. It's great, and Donna and team provided a great experience. Jelco's are nice arms, but I share the same concerns with them having shutdown. The 850 was o... | |
| Turntable Decision @dennis041992, please start a new separate thread with your question instead of highjacking OP's question. No disrespect intended. All the replies will be pointed towards helping you. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Is it worth it to add a music server just for FLAC files? @zerofox,I'm in agreement with those stating that different servers can dramatically improve your sound quality. Great power supplies and low power dedicated devices have an inherent advantage over devices doing multiple tasks, including most PCs ... | |
| Negative feedback and reviews of bad sellers ebm just a succinct dude | |
| Opinions and choices for a small speaker for mid sized room. Reference 3A , easy to drive, sublime sound especially mids and highs, total disappearing act from a long time established co. with good rep and review history. IMHO many of the better choices in this price range are Canadian, not by chance. Read ... | |
| I need quiet as much as music sometimes so help me please Since eBay now hits your bank and you can't use Paypal, I would think twice. Other backwaters, Amazon Warehouse, Woot, and dealer closeouts are potential options for similar deals. I have deals at musician suppliers like Sweetwater, Musician's Fri... | |
| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard A friend home demoed the Tambamqui. He mentioned playing Roger Waters' Amused to Death recorded with "Q Sound" and the renowned spatial fireworks were completely absent. That's never happened with any other DAC he's tried. I know nothing about how... |
