| Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner. I recently purchased the record doctor V which you were given a link to above and is very inexpensive now that they have a newer model out. I think it does a very good job, I make sure I basically have a flood coat of the solution on the record a... | |

| Overkill for small room I concur on room treatment, I have an even smaller room with decent size dipole speakers, adding sound treatment to various locations made a huge difference. GIKacoustics offers free room treatment advice which I found very helpful. | |
| Records and CDs I only recently upped by vinyl playback game with a nice phono preamp and new cart, that took me to a new level in sound that surpasses what before was best, streaming. I’ve a modest digital system ( NAD C658 streaming preamp), but it sounds very ... | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. I recently went thru the phonostage research and purchase process, it can be a blur! In the end I purchased the black ice audio F159 tube phonostage. Totally transformed my vinyl playback and then I upgraded to an old school Grace F9 cart with R... | |

| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Funny how many responders can’t follow directions! It was ONE album! 😹 but ditto on Aja…. | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I too have tinnitus but listening to my music never seems to bother me even when played loud. I am using Martin Logan electrostatics….you might consider auditioning this type of speaker, there’s no specific driver emitting high frequency sound a... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything I’m a proud owner of ML Classic 9’s setup in a small bedroom, max size speaker for the space but with some properly placed acoustic panels to control reflections the sound is immersive and clear, a B&W sub makes sure the bass is deep and tight... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range So I got really lucky and found a Black Ice Audio Fusion F159 hybrid tube preamp on US Audiomart ($1,875 retail), within my budget. It’ll be delivered tomorrow but it’s a Christmas gift (from the wife to me), so I’ll not get to try her out unti... | |
