| Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable An honest and authentic and patient soul. Took much time from his days to talk with me about cables and sound and never, ever, tried to up-sell me on anything. I've used his Shotguns for years and love them dearly. He always struck me as simply a ... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime I suspect once you upgrade your amplifier, you'll get more out of the Soundsmith. | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers I remember an ad here on Audiogon several years ago for a pair Avantegarde Trios - with the copy saying something like: "These are big toys for the big boys". That reminds me of what michaelgreenaudio said above about "listeners today not being th... | |
| Sophia Electric Magik Box Idk, @roberjerman. Sophia has a pretty solid reputation. I can't see them peddling gimmicks. I assume what they build and advertise will perform as described. | |
| The music’s the thing but.... That's the ultimate trap of this hobby: using your music to listen to your system. | |
| Audio racks Check out Mapleshade's line of racks. | |
| Smartphone audio sadness I'll try for clarity in this response so EVERYONE can comprehend it.I went with the Samsung Galaxy S9+ and so far quite like it. Now, considering my last phone was the iPhone 4s, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch. But the sound is wide and d... | |

| The "1st Pressing" LP Hysteria- Is the terminology wrong? Interesting thread. But I was all excited thinking it was about the Def Leppard 1st pressing of "Hysteria"! Oh well. | |
| Vindication at Last! 1001001 SOSLooking for light-hearted, humorous audiophiles who aren't quick to judge, quick to anger, but slow to understand. | |
| Smartphone audio sadness I don't know, @millercarbon. I guess I'm just an uneducated rube who needs your sage advice when it comes to things like this. See how different things can go when confronted with a pompous ijit? | |
| Smartphone audio sadness @thecarpathian -- I'm sorry you feel that way. You also missed my point - or perhaps I didn't make it clear enough: many threads on this forum question why there aren't more audiophiles, or why the demographic for this hobby is aging. And what i w... | |
| TIDAL Master Quality It all depends on your system! Seriously. Tidal lossless sounds superb, albeit different from vinyl in my system. Pure CD is about equal. | |
| Hana ML compared to other high end cartridges The ML is relatively new, but I recently replaced my Benz Micro Ace SH with a Hana SL and loved the change. It's sound is larger than the Benz and I feel more of a presence of the music. However, my Benz had close to 1500 hours on it, so that migh... |
