| About users with hidden agendas Can't we just end the back and forth pettiness and agree with the OP that posters who own a company selling audio products or are promoting one should make it clear either in their name or their signature? Except cars.....there is a nice correla... | |
| About users with hidden agendas Can't we just have any political posts automatically deleted? This is an audiophile community discussion site. I am sure there are plenty of political ones where people can be as outspoken as they want about that stuff, which gets more than enoug... | |

| About users with hidden agendas @jjss49 - +1 right on the money. I am not going to engage with his haters, a relatively small group that are very vocal. If you don't like him. just don't read his posts. No need to complain about him - of course disagree if you have a problem wi... | |
| About users with hidden agendas MC stated in a previous post before he was asked to take a break from the 'Gon that he works for Townshend. He is also working on a couple other things since he retired from his "normal" work and when he returns he will provide more details in add... | |
| Why People Like Tekton Why wouldn't an audiophile want to hear everything on the record that was created by the artist? You certainly hear them it at a concert. My goal is to get the sounds as close to live music as possible or at least feel like I am in the studio with... | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... If you can find a used Plinius integrated, it will give you great bang for the buck. Mine has a very good phono stage that has a switch for MC to MM, but when I put in a Sutherland phono stage, the improvement was very noticeable. I know their dis... | |
| About users with hidden agendas As far as Townshend podiums go, for me their seismic platform was a remarkable improvement for my turntable. I was lucky to be able to talk to Max Townshend (RIP) who took the time to understand my application and send me the right tension pods in... | |
| The hunt is over @zavato - that was my point- you faced a decision so you weren’t at your endgame. Going up the line of a manufacturer’s products is part of the journey. Settling on a manufacturer of a component by no means is an endgame. It’s certainly a good mil... | |
| The hunt is over @zavato - my point is that when the stylus wears out, it is a decision point to either retip it and perform whatever other service it may need, get a new replacement for the same cartridge (which I did last time), or opt for a different one. Yes c... | |
| Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers This discussion should have had threads in the single digits. I assumed upgrade meant better sounding. | |
| The hunt is over Any vinylista can never be done as styluses wear out and you have to decide whether or not to have it serviced or replaced. Once you start with that you start thinking about other things. Wish I could only think about the music, but it is impossib... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond - you need to make sure the phono stage has lmpedence (load) and gain settings that match what is recommended for the cartridge. Many good ones have several or even continuous settings for these. Some phono stages are made to work with ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond - most important to match the phono stage to the cartridge and your system in general. Turntables should have no sound - improvements are the elimination of distortion caused by vibrations. Of course you need to make sure the arm works wel... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Hey @drbond - the P8 is extremely light and the only thing that worked for me without counterweights was the Townshend Seismic platform that has pods screwed into the base. The very smallest pods are effective against the 10 pound turntable. If t... |
