TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review
stringreen, how do we know that the test record was recorded at exactly 33.3333 etc?  How do we know that the record hole is perfectly centered?  I have Dr. Feikert's  Adjust+ test record plus two other test records with a 3150hz test tone and the... 
TTWeights closing their doors
Nice, as you leave the audio market due to your inability to compete, you slag a US manufacture that has successfully manufactured turntables for almost 50 years and continues to prosper.  Way to garnish sympathy.    
Increase price for Vandersteens
Their lower end models have always been great value 
Audio - Post Divorce
My priorities have always been family first. Audio is just a hobby consisting of material things that can be replaced at any time. Happily married for 31 years. For those who lost a child, I have no words to express my sympathy - that's a tragedy! 
Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck
He's embarrassing, and he ain't no artist.

Charles1dad, you should know better than most that Israel rarely ever sells his speakers/equipment at full list. Going factory direct and avoiding the 40-50% dealer markup, gives him room to offer discounts, therefore, "motivating" potential buyer...

If you are serious about the Triumphs, I would press Israel for a better price as he rarely sells his product for full MSRP, especially since he is factory direct.The one thing that bothers me about Coincident speakers is the lack of independent t... 
Audio Research Ref 150 Owners...Help Needed
Make sure that you keep the shipping box! You will need it when you ship your amp back to Audio Research for repair. This is not an "if" but a "when" scenario. 
SONIC FRONTIERS LINE 3...TUBES & CAPS upgrade
Test, your comment is not exactly the whole truth and certainly spun to your particular bias on and of Chris.What exactly is not true? Where is the bias? It is well known in the industry that SF contracted out all of their designs. All of the Part... 
SONIC FRONTIERS LINE 3...TUBES & CAPS upgrade
If you think Chris Johnson is an audio designer or a qualified electronics technician, you know nothing about the history of Sonic Frontiers. Chris Johnson is a marketer and a boutique parts supplier who just swaps parts for high cost flavour of t... 
FYI: VPI HW-19 motors
Austinbob, careful when you speak to VPI, they will try and sell you an all aluminum Classic platter. The Classic platter is a toy when compared to the former TNT Mk5 platter and the older TNT platters just "work" with the hw-19. If you don't go t... 
FYI: VPI HW-19 motors
Austinbob, I owned a hw-19 with a TNT MK5 platter but it had an aluminum looking bearing. It was a simple swap out. It was a huge upgrade. I didn't need to worry about the suspension bottoming out as mine had sorbothane suspension. Sorbothane puck...

ayre v-5xe has consistant noise after warm up
Since you don’t want to send the amp back to Ayre, your only option left is open it up, muck around inside until you either electrocute yourself or bugger it up to the point that your ONLY option is to send it back to Ayre. BTW, a lot amps don’t l... 
ayre v-5xe has consistant noise after warm up
If Ayre has no idea as to your problem, I doubt that you will get any responses from Ayre owners with a similar problem. Since you are obviously not looking for advice or suggestions as to what might be causing the problem, send it back to Ayre. Y...
