| New turntable or new cartridge? I went from a Scout to a Prime and I love it. The bass is deeper and the music seems quite effortless and just flows. I am using the same cartridge (ZU/Denon DL103) and the Prime definitely sounds better. I would go for the new turntable first.... | |
| Tube Preamp W/Phono Stage Suggestions... I have a Rogue Audio RP-5 tube preamp. The phono stage is excellent and has many internal adjustments for various mm and mc cartridges. Previously I had an AI Modulus 3B tube preamp and the phono stage was also excellent. The Audible Illusions ... | |
| Audible illusions m3a The tubes which are best for the 3A and 3B preamp are the 6h23neb tubes. You can get them directly from AI or The Tube Store. They run 40-50.00 each but are worth it. This is the ONLY tube AI recommends as they run their tubes hard. If you try... | |
| Sorbathane under granite slabs for speaker bases? At one time, I had a pair of floor standing speakers on a 1 inch thick slab of black granite.

| Looking at sub $200 power cables. I tried both the Pangea AC-9 and AC-14 SE in my system and they sucked the life out of it. I use all Shunyata power cords and couldn't be happier. | |
| Bad vinyl I waited 3 weeks for the 180 gram remaster of Animals by Pink Floyd. The record is warped. I figured I would treat myself and break in my new Prime with it. Not sure if it's worth contacting Music Direct. Like a dope, I threw away the shipping... | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. Check out Audio Art cables. He advertises here. I have one of his power cords that cost me less than 150.00 and it is better than my 300.00 Shunyata cords. | |
| Class D = Trash? If most class D amps use either the Ice or N Core Modules, can't one assume that amps made with either of those modules will pretty much sound the same? I know that various designers monkey around with the input stage and power supply, but an N ... | |
| Wife trouble Return the wife, keep the speakers. Problem solved. | |
| Tekton Electron has been released Ralph is a great guy!! I also agree with you regarding the looks of the Tekton speakers. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise) @malthuseII have a Rogue RP-5 tube preamp and it is dead quiet with my 92db efficient speakers. With the volume cranked all the way up, not 1 iota of hiss, only dead quiet. |
