| Turntable leveling @lewm Haha! “An ‘analog’ bubble level”I laughed aloud at that. Not sure why it was funny to me, because it’s pretty much true. | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? Being talked down to by my local HiFi store and a story to go with it.So, I’ve got my “buddy” who works at my only local HiFi store, who I go and talk with and listen to gear when I can, so that’s what I did. I told him about my recent purchase of... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander Tekton Pendragons or Direct Impacts. I can highly recommend both speakers. You also save a good amount of money because you buy directly from Tekton / Eric Alexander, who is the owner, engineer, and designer of the Tekton line of speakers. | |
| Power conditioning: APS, Eclipse, Velocitor, or ? I know I’m a bit late to this party, but Verastarr makes a really nice power conditioner. VERASTARR AC POWER BLOCK | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? My only audio buddy lives 2 hrs away, so we don’t get to hang out much. We were friends in high school, lost touch until a few yrs ago, but it would seem the audio bug bit us both around the same time. I’d already been collecting records since aro... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR @chakster I was referring to the new GR series of turntable. I’ve also done all the upgrades to my Mk5, and I still really dig it. I have looked a lot into the possibility of a GR also though. I would hope the tonearm wires in the GR wouldn’t need... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR @chakster Right, nothing wrong until you want to upgrade to a new arm, but there’s nothing wrong with the stock tonearm to begin with. I was just providing a few options to upgrade the stock arm. Obviously, the 2 options I thought of are upgrading... | |
| Do I go from a Primaluna HP Integrated to Schiit Freya+ and a pair of Aegir Amps? @pesky_wabbit is on the right track with the different tubes. Have you tried different pwr amp tubes in the Primaluna? Even if you haven’t, my vote is still for the Primaluna nonetheless. It’s hand wired with top notch build quality, where the Sc... | |
| Why are there so many PS Audio BHK-mono or stereo amps for sale? What Gives? I think @jackd has this mystery mostly solved. As audiophiles, we are a fickle bunch who are usually trying to squeeze every last drop out of our systems.The BHK amp(s) have also been around long enough that people may have tried them out and then... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR There’s nothing wrong with the stock tonearm. It’s actually a very well designed arm and was made specifically for that deck. You’d be better off and notice a much larger difference by rewiring the tonearm with a higher grade of wire like Cardas, ... | |
| Recommendations for a Phono Preamp What is your budget? If it’s kind of mid level, I love my EAR 834p. Take into consideration the one with the attenuator / volume knob. I like it so much that I scratch built one with upgraded components and more options like adjustable resistance ... | |
| Your favourite music movie? I checked out “Rolling Thunder Revue” a few nights ago, and would like to add that to the list. Even if you’re not a Dylan fan, any fan of music will dig this movie / documentary. Just ordered the 3xLP soundtrack too! | |

| Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price) @smodtactical I noticed that you placed the Tekton Pendragons in the under $1,000 category, but they’re actually in the $1,000-$5,000 category at just under $2,000 in the US. Thanks for taking the time making this list! It’s both very useful and i... | |
