Cabling Recommendations
Focal Grande Utopia...You've got a set of serious speakers there. I've never heard a setup with them sound bad. Just try as many of top-of-line models brands as you can. With that level of speaker, a proper dealer will have demo cables for you to... 
Anyone Still Using Zerodust
Always used Magic Eraser.  Got suckered into buying the Onzow, when it first appeared on the market. I guess mine didn't have enough "stickum" on it because there were times it didn't remove whatever gunk was on the stylus.  Declared it audio ju... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
"Embrace communism?" OH BROTHER.... How does a reminder of reality (as you read it on YOUR MIC computer display) imply supporting communism? fpomposo-Silly rebuttal. It is probably safe to say most Americans would willingly support a 100% Amer... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
These "China not for me" posts are the most comical. The post was made by a MIC computer setup, while sitting on a MIC chair. The poster lives in a home with a MINIMUM of 75% MIC products. Wouldn't be surprised if the Margules amp promoted is at... 
Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
Glue an ARC or whatever logo on the case, and enjoy it. Audiopyles......  
Starting from scratch in a large room
Go in wall. It appears living space/aesthetics are priority. "I’ll be listening from either 13 feet or 25 feet." If you’re that far away, $10-15K floorstanders AND a proper setup. Otherwise, why spend the money? $300 Bestbuy bookshelf speakers ... 
Schiit Mani 2
The Schiit Mani is $150 . I used one as a back up unit as my $2500 unit was being repaired.  While it's fine for it's price point, it won't make your setup sound like what you read about in these threads about great LP playback. Don't expect gro... 
Harmonic distortion inquiry
Whatever the answer is, your setup is at a level NOT to be concerned.     
Primaluna or not Primaluna
"But will it really be enough for my 89dB speakers? At least they claims that." 87-89dB is an average rating for a good chunk of the market. The PL will drive most of them. Other than rock concert levels from the 70's, it should cover "normal" l... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
The PL will sound "quite good" as you heard with the Line Magnetic. The difference may be the overall build quality, features and support if needed. Other than that, the SQ is purely subjective, like EVERYTHING audio. You can hear any brand amp... 
Sublima Chakra tt mat
I couldn’t help it. The OP has what appears to be a fine setup, without the need for "lowering contact charges" Perhaps a 100% pure cork mat can be found somewhere. 100% cork is practically impossible to find. Most mats are blended with rubber. ... 
Sublima Chakra tt mat
From the website: ' It also reduces the wear of the vinyl by lowering the contact charges and allowing the head a much more natural and complete reading." Vuoi migliorare il suono ? Clicca adesso - Sublima (sublimacables.com) More technical bal... 
Ferrari Purosangue with Burmester Audio
I'm sure a fuse upgrade will improve it   
Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room
Firing the length is great-IF it were a dedicated space, and you could push the speakers out 6 feet and your seat is somewhere just off the middle of the room. Reality, you're using a living space. Keep the sub for service. It will still handle t... 
I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp
No groundbreaking news here... Many seem to forget the end result is always subjective ears. My $200 mid 90's Harman Kardon receiver drives my ML's just fine.
