| Anyone have experience with Soundsmith’s strain gauge? "(Incidentally, I was absolutely amazed by the sound of his monitors especially the bass response considering that they don't have a large woofer like a floor stranding .)"This post reinforces my experience. I didn't include in my post that the am... | |
| Anyone have experience with Soundsmith’s strain gauge? Ever since hearing the Straingauge years ago, I heard it as one of the "best" ever heard. The fact it wasn't on an uber setup(VPI HRX) made it even more attractive.I heard it along with a couple other top SS models demoed by Peter. The cactus ... | |
| Upcoming Neil Young album, Homegrown Vinyl. A must have? I will likely give in and get this, since it is period music with Neil at the top of his game.Being the period press snob that I am, it's breaking protocol. At least the price is reasonable.This will probably my only "new" purchase this year. I wi... | |
| New PrimaLuna Evo's "IN CHINA. I returned my demo model once I found that out."You won't be demoing much equipment, if you REALLY want to dissect the way things work. SMH | |
| Upgrade Room, speaker positioning and consider subs. The gear looks competent to me.After those two factors, the tweaky cable/doodads. You could go beyond that with a PC and the latest software too, if you don’t trust your ears.Maybe before the other stuf... | |

| Tube Tester You really don't need a tube tester to enjoy your amp. Just buy from a reputable vendor. Matched pair power tubes in your case. Keep a spare of both power/preamp tubes. Tubes, especially the preamp tubes, generally are reliable, They futz out afte... | |
| Tubes Everywhere! Great amps. "classic tube sound"I've heard them with many nice speakers. Since it's really subjective, I don't think they project a "tube sound" They're a hybrid, so it's only going to approach "that sound"It just has a pair of 6DJ8's, so I would... | |
| Has anyone successfully put their speakers in storage for an extended period of time? The rubber surround of the speakers will deteriorate in a couple of decades. By then, there will no interest in them anyway. | |
| Rules of getting best audio ? maybe.. I would suggest stay away from "white van guy" but I think Covid 19 has kept him away. He never offers a model with a nice veneer finish.Always seem to be black. | |
| Sharing some of your favorite Music FM stations that are now online?... But does it sound as convincing as on a good ol tube tuner?I'm fortunate to be in an area with great reception for my public stations.The R&R stations, naturally are awful, but they come in nice and strong. | |
| POWER TUBES and Musical genre I hear the old RCA big bottle 6l6G, as a nice compromise. Close enough EL34 mids, and bass punch of a KT88.It's been my choice for years now. Surprisingly, still can be found for reasonable prices. Worth a listen, if your amp can accommodate the ... | |
| My AT150MLX Cartridge has been misaligned for 4 years The stylus just has 4 years of specific stylus wear due to the alignment. It sounds better now, just go with it.If it were aligned according to the jig 4 years ago, it would just now be worn based on that.Try a Rega cart next replacement time. No ... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? I've had tinnitus for years, with intensity varying thru the day My hearing drops after 7khz.Consultation(hearing aids) reading everything about it, and evaluating lifestyle to see if anything affects it seem to be the best you can do at the momen... | |
