| Turntable Upgrade I had a VPI Prime with the 3D Unipivot are and HATED it. I hated it so much that for a year I never used it or played vinyl. I traded it in on a Technics SL 1200G turntable and never looked back. I now play more vinyl than CD’s. The VTA on the ... | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? I love the sound of EL 34 tubes, reminds me most of tube amps from the past. A ripe romantic type sound but without any bass slam. | |
| Should I use Impedance 4 or 8? Try them both for a day or so, whichever one you like best. There is no right or wrong way. | |
| Becoming Led Zeppelin I saw them in 73? Houses of the Holy tour. Amazing but the drum solo went on and on for way too long. As a side note, my GF, now my wife said that Robert Plant had a huge boner throughout most of the show. We were sitting third row center at t... | |

| Presidents Day HiFi sales I used to make the trip to Boston every year for their Washington Birthday sales. I scored a new pair of large Advent speakers back in the mid to later 70’s. | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? My speakers have powered woofers and I use a pair of Shunyata power cords into a Shunyata Hydra 4 plugged into a dedicated Shunyata wall outlet. Not sure if there is that great a difference but I had all of these things hanging around so why not u... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Too bad Chakster is no longer on Audiogon as he was a wealth of information on older direct drive turntables and cartridges. You may want to look through his older posts, a wealth of information there. | |
| Technics 1300G on it's way !! Congrats on the new turntable. You are going to love it. I have had the Technics 1200G for over 6 years and love it. I have started collecting different phono cartridges for my table as it’s easy with the detachable headshell. The PRAT with a... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? I would love the MBL Extreme speakers. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Chrissy Steele. Opening act for Jethro Tull in mid 90’s. Best female rocker I ever saw and what a voice. | |
