| Four MC Phono Cartridges @chakster can you explain the difference between the art9xa and art9 xi? They are both the same price, $1290USD? What about these two compared to the Dynavecter DV20X2L? | |
| Speakers recommendations for a Sony Japan golden era Hifi system If you want retro, get a pair of JBL, L100A speakers for 2K or less. They sounded fantastic with Sony back in the 80’s. | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences If you want mid-fi, go with Audio Advisor. After all, their $400 Pangea power cord is always on sale for $169, lol😂. If you want better equipment, Music Direct is your friend. | |
| Why the difference in resale value? I bought an Adcom 555 brand new from Tweeter HiFi in the mid 80’s. I couldn’t wait until I could afford something better and never liked the sound. I do not see why the love for Onkyo. At one time I sold the line and it was real junk, broke down... | |

| System recommendations The Aragon amp you own was made by Mondial which also manufactured Mark Levinson during that time. They are good products. I wouldn’t change the amp or pre and I wouldn’t bother trying different cables. Speakers will make the most difference eit... | |

I tried everything but nothing got rid of the problem. I tried all kinds of footers, maple platform, bubinga platform, I e... | |
| Dedicated power to audio system—how extreme to go? I have 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits for my audio system. One is for the amp and pre, and the other for everything else. The electrician ran 12 two wire from my panel to the outlets, and I do not get any noise at all. I used 2 Shunyata AC Recept... | |
| About Triton 2+ and 3+ I sold a pair of the Triton Ones here for I believe $2200. The guy that bought them had Triton Twos+. He said the Ones are far superior. Between the 2+ and 3+, go with the former. The bass response will be much better. With patience, you can fi... | |
| Esoteric K01X SACD player TRAY! error message When you use the SACD, click CD Layer on remote and cycle through until you get SACD 2 channel. By default, I believe it goes to SACD Multichannel. By playing it in multichannel, you are missing a lot of information, hence the lousy sound. I had t... | |
