Chord Huei Phono
Rob, now that you have had the Huei for time to allow it to break in. Have you changed your opinion on its performance? I have been considering one for a Lyra Kleos and would appreciate your sharing your experience thus far.thank youTheo 
Chord Qutest vs. Benchmark 2 or 3?
I tried both and found the Cutest to be warmer in sound, but the Benchmark has more features and is more analytical and accurate. It really depends on your ears, either is a good solution.The Cutest is a little quirky at first with the colored lig... 
Cat jumped on turntable
I agree with with Cleeds on the stylus being torn off the cantilever. Although that wouldn’t make any non-scientific measurable difference in weight. But if you have any kind of magnifying glass, look close at the end of the cantilever and see if ... 
How are you liking Amazon Music HiFi now that it’s been out a month or so.
That is kind of where I am with the Amazon, Sound is fine but with my Bluesound Node 2 it is a real challenge to use. I do notice that even though as a Prime Member and I signed up for the HD trial, that a lot of the music I am selecting is standa... 
Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.
Well I agree it is good news. And I meant no offense. 
Add 45 RPM to an LP12
I imagine you will need a new power supply. When I had my LP12 it required a longer press on the power button to switch to 45 and a press again to return to 33.Try contacting Rick at audioalternative.com, if any knows everything about LP12s it’s R... 
Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.
He must have had a piece of equipment that polluted the electrical circuit that you shared. I would think if it returns when you get new neighbors, it may be time to look into power conditioning. Meanwhile enjoy the music.also curious if you see a...

Stereo pre-amp with AV processor?
Seif, I am at a loss on Pre-Amps in the price range that you are seeking. It has been a few years since I made a pre-amp purchase and at that point I upgraded within the Audio Research product line and had my mind set on what I was going to buy. I... 
Stereo pre-amp with AV processor?
By using a separate Stereo Pre-Amp vs 2 Channels of a AV PrePro you should notice an improvement and at the very least you will be able to run only the 2 Channel side of your system and not consume power for components not in use. That alone shoul... 
Good Pre-Amps For McIntosh
I have had McIntosh pre/pro’s with Mc amps MC7205, MC352 and now Mc402, and switched to a Audio Research Ls-26 and now a Ref5se and am much happier with the ARC pre-amp sound. Although I have been considering Ayre but haven’t yet.  
Oppo 103D streaming issues
Did you try re-booting the unit, un plug the Oppo and press each button on the front panel to drain any stored capacitance. The see if it works better, sometimes all components with micro processing will need a full capacitance re-boot, or at leas... 
Does your system hate you when you ignore her?
First off, my system is a HIM, I cannot afford a HER! But at time I sit to listen and he, just doesn’t draw me in, but other times is is like an old friend with nothing but good news. But I think it is me and the mood I am in, not realizing that l... 
Dealer Discount
I think 10% is good, it covers the sales tax in most cases. I know some dealers won’t discount, and if they back it up with good service during and after the sale, they earn it. But I usually get at least 10 sometimes 15 or 20, depending on the pr... 
Most annoying song, period.
