Magico A3 price increases 50%+
I don’t see a problem. No one is forcing you to buy them and there are a lot of audio components that have or are going up in price. As far as the capacitor choice, the A3 are built to a price point, and the margin may not be there to put more exp... 
Opinion on Audio Research DSi200 integrated amp
It’s an early Class D amp. I wonder how it stacks up against the newest Class D offerings? 
Dr Feikert Woodpecker Acrylic cover
Stereo Squares will make you a custom lift off cover.  I paid $300.00 USD for a cover for the VPI Prime.  
Record clamp
I had a Rega Planar 3 back in the early 90’s.  I tried a few clamps and weights which were available at the time.  Didn’t really make a difference and I never felt comfortable with a clamp/weight on the very short record spindle. I believe there w... 
Cullen Cable
Drop them an email, that is a long time for a pair of interconnects.  Did you already get charged for them? 
Gracenote Database - how to add Cover Art manually if not found automaticaly
My Sony HAPZ1ES uses Gracenote.  I manually put the cover art into the proper folder and then re-scan the data base and tada, all the art work shows up.  
Audible illusions Slow customer service
I owned 3 AI preamps from 1992-2016 and although I never had problems, I worried if I did that it would never get resolved. That was one of my reasons for trading it in for a Rogue RP5 preamp. I didn’t keep the rogue for very long as I all of a su... 
Why the cost increase?
I see the forum police are hard at work, deleting posts again.  To think I spent 20 minutes writing my post quite articulatory only to be deleted by the police.  I would love to know the moderator who thinks any negative thing you say to someone e... 
Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers
@ajzepp,I had a similar problem when I wanted to return a pair of Pendragons in 2012. Eric was so rude to me, told me if there was even one fingerprint on the returned speakers, I wouldn’t receive my full refund. When I reminded him that one speak... 
This website has become S-L-O-W
The site is still slow to this day.  I complained 3 times and 3 times I heard from Tammy telling me the usual, clear the browsers cache, yada yada yada.  Same old, same old.  I use Ad Blocker and still the site loads slow. The forums are fine, but... 
Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush
I use the Hunts Record Brush and sometimes the big brush with grounding I bought from MD.  
so, i recorded a type 1, normal bias, on a 70s cassette deck, and it sounds FANTASTIC
I am surprised those old tapes still even work without jamming.  I am also surprised you aren’t getting “print through” on the tapes being that old.   
Why the cost increase?
@nonoise,well, what devilboy said was all the same bologna that our former president has been spewing for the past 10+ months.  Nothing new, same old, same old. It does get tiring though.  
Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush
On my Technics SL1200G, being direct drive I have no such problems.  You can bear down hard on the brush while TT is spinning and the speed never slows down.  
Parasound Preamp
I guess that is why I didn’t like either one.
