| Buying used equipment in Japan I used to live in japan and found it to be an audiophile's paradise. There are many cool shops there. My favorite was Audio Union, which is a chain store with locations all over japan. They have tons of used stuff in great condition. If you google... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please Clear Day Cables double shotguns are $450 delivered with a 30 day free trial. These cables changed my life. So amazing in their clarity and balance, and they allow music to play through them with a holographic sound stage. You cannot go wrong tryi... | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong I've purchased several mofi pressings and have found they are not nearly as good sounding as the HQ-180 pressings from Warner bros. Also, anything by analog productions sounds very good. I am not planning to buy any more mofi pressings until I hea... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? I ordered the F1 Signature edition from Upscale. It has lots of upgrades over stock, but I believe the tubes are not upgraded. Which tubes are the treasure tubes and where can I buy them for a reasonable price? Thanks | |
| Best integrated tube amp for around $2000 Well, I bit the bullet and ordered an SLI-80 F1 version today. Thanks to all who helped me realize what I thought all along was likely a good choice. I will report my experiences once the amp is run in. | |

| Clearaudio Concept or Emotion CMB? I owned a Concept MC for a while but ended up trading it in for a Clearaudio Performance SEP, which is a much more satisfying turntable to my ears. This said, the Concept was a very nice sounding table, I just wasn't too crazy about the Concept MC... | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? I now realize that I should have titled this thread "Do you have good taste in hi-fi but bad taste in music?" because I was trying to make two or three points when I started writing it. I was annoyed by the number of unworthy music titles being re... | |
| Hey Electricians - Please help Tmsorosk, I am surprised to hear you say the Richard Gray stuff did more harm than good. Can you explain your experience a bit more? In my experience the 400 I have in my system has made a big difference in a positive way. What are you using now t... | |
| Hey Electricians - Please help Based on the suggestions given I tried a couple of things and concluded that it is most prominent when my amp is set to the phono stage. The theory of the switch arcing seems to be correct because the phono cartridge acts like a mic and amplifies ... | |
| Richard Gray owners ISO.. As I understand it the RGPC units do not have surge protection because it is unnecessary. The function of the unit is to create a "bucket" of power within the unit to be made available to power hungry components. This bucket is constantly being dr... | |

| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Of all of my addictions my addiction to music is the one that has been a positive influence on myself and my family. Those who are married to a spouse who also loves music might be able to identify with what I am saying here. We listen to music to... | |
| LOOKING FOR A GOOD HDMI CABLE I recently bought one from Signal Cables and am very happy with it. I think it was around $40. I have had problems with ultra cheap HDMI cables. They are not all made the same, but you don't need to spend a bucket load to get great quality. |
