Audio equipment reviews
They also go out of their way (at other times, other reviewers, etc) to mention that not all good gear can get a review as there is so much of it out there, and only so many reviewers... and only so much capacity to do the work, and only so much f... 
Upgrade cartridge or something else?
Teo audio CBP. As for expected qualities, that is up to the person trying it out to discern. They have a 30 day trial, where you return it if you don’t like it. Monies refunded. A first for phono cartridges. I’m happy to be able to say...Not a si... 
Interconnect RCA Cables between Preamp to Poweramp
I had Chris @VH Audio make me a 1.5meter pair of cables to go from my preamp to power amp. Nothing I heard came close to what I bought from Chris. I believe it was a CU Twist cable with KLI RCA plugs on both ends. My cost shipped was $399 Chris, ...

Springsteen mighta said it better, though: "You end up like a dog that's been beat too much, Until you spend half your life just covering up" 
Electro-Voice E-V SIX
Buy a pair of these, to use as subwoofers (no connection to seller): (https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Electrovoice-30W-sub-woofer-speakers-for-tube-amplifier-audio-western-ele...) Same cone material as their 18". EV probably still offers OEM reconing ... 
The Weekend
I bet you can drive the heck out of a horse and buggy...! Involves animal husbandry. A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall... 
Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
If they can do that they can easily clone and Amp I agree that they could and sometimes do,but they rarely (if at all) clone an amp perfectly. As there is nowhere near as much reward in copying an amplifier ....as there is in copying even the mos... 
Harley quote
High end audio is the pursuit of perfection in a world of individuals that each have different inherent tools, in their ears, their minds and the connectivity of the ear and mind. Exploration into known aspects and ...critically... unknown aspects... 
Cable House Sound?
Teo:-life like transient edges (insanely sharp and fast like the real thing) -simultaneously, not bright, which is unexpected in cables (more like real live instruments) -rich harmonic structure akin to the actual instruments -dynamically correct,...

What exactly is textural density??
How can that be so hard to understand Only 13 paragraphs of explanation - followed by a sales pitch, smooth.... Everything’s a sales pitch. Even our bladder’s push to get us to the washroom is a sales pitch.. A pretty darned convincing one, too. ... 
What exactly is textural density??
A rich harmonic structure to the presented signal. as in the depth of the harmonics and micro harmonics. rich meaning not light and peaky, but lots of harmonic and sub harmonic layering of signal. the richness of resonance that real instruments ca...

Professional Identification help needed!
It’s an early 70’s mystery meat amplifier. Kinda looks like a bogen, but it’s stereo... with more caps than any super tight bogen engineer would ever unwillingly squeeze out of their reluctant backside. anyway, the lack of a face-plate or even scr...
