| RCA Interconnect recommendations I'm using a Graham Slee CuSat50 between my sacd player and my preamp. It sounds excellent. I bought a second CuSat50 and tried it between my amp and preamp. I didn't like it as well as my Black Cat Silverstar 88. I'm using a Black Cat Silverstar ... | |

| What would you save in a fire? Family stuff that can't be replaced would be first. Then Smith and Wesson revolvers and other handguns. They don't take up much space. Guitars in cases would fill the vehicle quickly. Maybe a couple of them. | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @immatthewj I have installed cartridges on my Music Hall turntable. I bought a little scale to measure tracking force. It wasn't terribly difficult, but I don't know if I had the tracking angle perfect, etc. I eyeballed it. When I bought my Hana c... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? Last night, I swapped out a decent copper cable ($200) for the Black Cat Silverstar 88 cable going between my amp and preamp. It sounded good, but lacking a bit of clarity. Not like listening through a blanket, but maybe a thin sheet. Swapped t... | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? I went from a Goldring 1042 MM cartridge paired with a Sutherland KC Vibe to a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and Sutherland TZ Vibe. Huge difference. Some of the improvement is likely from the phono stage upgrade. The Goldring 1042 is a nice ca... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? Music Direct has the P3 on sale with different options that include a premounted cartridge. I’d get one with a cartridge unless you or a friend can install the cartridge. Your amp has a phono stage for mm or moving coil if I’m not mistaken. I wou... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Blind Ego - Mirror. Another recording not on Qobuz. | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? If you don't already have a fair number of vinyl records, it's not worth it in my opinion. I spent $4500 to get a decent cartridge, TT, and phono preamp. That's a relatively inexpensive setup. It sounds great, but not better than streaming. A f... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @allenf1963 thanks for the additional information. I have the Reality Dream tour and Wasteland tour ordered. I found Reality Dream in the U.S. but Wasteland is coming from Poland. | |
| DDC Cableing This is what I use. I did feel that it added a bit of clarity. I use the 0.5M version. https://wyred4sound.com/products/hdmi-pcocc-premium | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I'm getting that as well on my phone. Started a few days ago. Not getting it on my computer. Also seeing a 404 error code. I don't know how to fix it. | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio I will be interested in your thoughts on the upgraded tubes. What tubes are in it now? I've tried a number of 12AT7 tubes and there are big differences in sound quality between the different tubes. | |
| DDC Cableing Yes, the USB cable matters. What is your dvd-type cable? It should be as short as possible. | |
| Let's talk about Silver... @lak Analogue Seduction on eBay. They didn’t have the length that I needed listed (1.5M), so I messaged them and they sent me a link. It’s in St Louis now en route to Kansas City. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233845761317?ViewItem=&item=2338457... |
