| Rogue RP-1 Amp recommendations Yeah, need more info to go on here — “a good match” could mean anything. At the very least what amp and speakers you’re using now and what specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? Also, are you looking for new or used? | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots @aricaudio Wow. Getting fully-balanced architecture and several upgraded parts for only $1100 more for the XL seems like quite a bargain. What specific performance differences do you hear in going from the Mk.II to the XL? | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots Thanks for the mention, and I just wanted to clarify The Motherlode XL is fully balanced differential I/Os. @aricaudio Sorry, my bad and thanks for the correction. Got the XL mixed up with the Mk. ll from Terry’s review. I wasn’t aware there ... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots Obviously I should be able to figure this out on my own, but if any of you are already aware as to whether any of the suggested preamps are fully balanced that would be helpful info. Of the ones I recommended the Atmasphere, Backert, ARC, and V... | |
| Suggestions for power amps wider soundstage maybe more lifelike energy, little more low end kick If you can accommodate them, adding a couple subs may be the most cost effective and effective way to achieve what you’re looking for. A pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs only cos... | |

| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie @danmar123 Yeah, at this point I’d highly recommend getting a streamer rather than tying yourself in knots trying to get your phone to work. It needn’t be a very expensive streamer, and your sound quality will improve significantly. | |
| Turntable Isolation Sorry the Townshend didn’t work for footfalls, but did you notice any improvement in sound otherwise? | |
| Records not stored vertically for decades Well, I got to look at some of my records today and they look to be in surprisingly good shape. There may be some warping but tough to really tell just by looking (unfortunately didn’t get to view them on a flat surface) , there was no visible mo... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots I see a lot of music live, and having real instruments sound as real as possible and breadth and three dimensionality of soundstage are the goals I would like to maximize. Given your stated objectives I’d skew toward a tube preamp. The aforeme... | |
| Suggestions for power amps It would be most helpful in making more meaningful recommendations if you could share what specific improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| I need a extension cord with Given some recent recommendations I’d reiterate the OP’s requirements that include no power conditioning and 20 amp compatibility just to avoid future wasted effort/time. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @benanders Your post is as slanted as it is ineffective in its stated upfront point that differences between objective/measurement and subjective/trust your ears types are avoidable. You give several examples of “experts” who hear no difference be... | |

| Records not stored vertically for decades Thanks to all those recommending record cleaning methods/equipment cause I’m gonna really need them and am looking into each and every one. Back in the day I just used the ol’ Discwasher brush/liquid so I’m sure there’s a ton o’ crap lurking in t... |
