| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES The problem is optimization beyond the point of excess, where some consumers are brainwashed into spending hundreds of dollars on power cables with unsubtantiable qualities. If you don’t see anything wrong with that, fine. But I do, and I will spe... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES Dill asked: “Do you think it is your mission to denounce cable upgrades, outlets and the like to save us from ourselves? You do know it is a tired argument at best.”Well since you are asking, it is my mission to educate people so they can be more ... | |

On MM cartridges, the stylus is 95% of the total price of a new cartridge, and in some cases it’s actually cheaper to just buy a whole new cartridge if you shop around. Stylus profile has a ... | |
| CD player just tanked. CD and sound quality are mutually exclusive in my view. Vinyl, while being high maintenance is really much better format at least until DSD becomes more of a mainstream thing. You can get a decent vintage turntable for a few hundred dollars, and a... | |
| Vintage receivers??? XM sound quality is middling with all the compression. Then there’s the program material. XM has a very limited range of material. They tend to keep a very small rotation With less than 50 artists per channel. At least they don’t have commercials. | |
