| Are you on or off? What say you? Off. Not looking for the latest best thing anymore. Happy with what I have and don’t want to squander what’s left of our retirement money. Since retiring 6+ years ago, our 100 year old house has been nickel and dimeing my wife and I to the tune of... | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? I don’t smoke a pipe but would 420 and slippers count? If so, I’m in! Forgot, a diet A&W Rootbeer too. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? For me it was Shunyata power cords. 75% of both my systems are wired with Shunyata interconnects. | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range I had the Kenwood Kd500 with the Infinity Black widow tonearm back in the mid 70’s. | |
| Match for McIntosh 352 If you like the speakers, they will sound fine with the Mac | |
| A very weird (to me) issue with an Audible Illusions Modulus L2B ... Sounds like cold solder connections on the circuit board behind the front panel controls. I had a similar problem with the original Modulus 3. Lucky for me, it took only a week to get repaired at AI but that was in the 90’s when they were located... | |
| Amazing Record/CD store in RI That is great news! I’m in the northern part of RI so a trip to both stores will be necessary. Thank you both. | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados @curiousjim, you sure got that right. At 80 yo, dementia may be creeping in, or not. Most everyone here know I am a huge Floyd fan, but I have lost all respect for Waters over the past few years. This goes back to when Waters kicked poor Richa... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge @knownothing , Thank you very much for the tip on Elusive Disc. I haven't been to that site in years, forgot about them. Not a big fan of the Ortofon 2M Black but the AT cartridges look promising. | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados @curiousjim, waters did not write all the songs, the lyrics yes but all the music compositions, no it was a joint effort. It is the worst pile of s*** and even worse than his last POS "Is this the life we really want". Waters needs to put his pe... | |
| Anyone with similar equipment @defman66, You are using Triton 1R speakers, I am using the Triton Reference Speakers. I switched from expensive speaker cables to Canare 4S11 cables and I couldn’t be happier. They sound great out of the box and after 400 hours, magnificent.... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Godsmack, Godsmack Candlebox, Candlebox Both CD | |
| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse The Prima Luna Hybrid amp has gotten some rave reviews when it first came out. Looks like a winner. | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge I think I may order the new version of my broken Dynavector. Although I hate to throw $1200.00 into it, it doesn’t seem like the cheaper cartridges will do what I want. I was really hoping to get out of this for $600 to $700 bucks. I will have... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge In my OP I said I wanted little surface noise. That does not imply my records are dirty. I have a VPI 16.5 RCM and all my records have been cleaned and put back in the jackets. I just don’t want a cartridge that emphasizes the surface noise and ... |
