| Turntable feedback rumble problems with new sub Son in law had a similar problem at loud volumes with Def Tech SM55 monitors sitting on the same cabinet as turntable. We put Vibrapads under the speakers—helped a lot. Upgraded to IsoAcoustic Isopucks, helped even more. I have Isopucks under the... | |
| ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ... Come On, Come On. Mary Chapin Carpenter. Been my test CD for many years. Title track and I am a Town tell me all I need to know. | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? Nordost Vishnu’s for SACD player, network streamer and pre, stock cables for bel canto monoblocks. | |
| Any opinions on Morrow USB cable and SP5 Speaker cables? I’m very pleased with my SP5 cables. These replaced Acoustic Zen Sartoris—which also sounded very very good. But the Morrows sounded better, more transparent, more detailed. The Morrows are bi-wired and the AZs were not, so that can also be a fac... | |
| Need speaker cable Another vote for Morrow. I’ve had AQ Bedrock, Nordost Heimdall and Acoustic Zen Sartori speaker cables and to my ears Morrow SP5s bested then both for much less. They were all very good, but value for money goes to Morrow. Second place to Acoustic... | |
| How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup? Had a pretty good vinyl system in the 70s and then nothing til I started up again in 2004. Started small and kept upgrading components. Eventually got to components that felt fairly permanent. Now it sorta feels like I’d have to start over at a mu... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra: Tchaikovsky’s 4th. A beautiful recording on SACD. I’m listening Via Qobuz 24/192. Second movement is so engaging and the piccolo in the 3rd movement is fantastic. Also contains a sublime double concerto for clarinet... | |
| Failed to enqueue. Any ideas? Will do so...next time my son in law is over. Thanks again. | |
| Failed to enqueue. Any ideas? We have a winner! Your suggestion worked. I had reset the router, but when I did so I probably left the 851N either powered up or on standby, the the “handshake” may have been old. Just now I unplugged both the router and the 851n at the same tim... | |

| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? I have a very low tolerance for unreliable equipment, but I have been happy in the whole with Cambridge. I have a BD650 universal disk player that I have had for maybe ten years. Never had an issue. I use it now to play SACD (DSD over HDMI). And ... | |

| The System Percentages Thread I’ve been keeping a percentage table for years. Results have stayed pretty consistent despite fairly constant changes and upgrades. I call my system a mid-go stereo system that is 90% music 10% television. Which translates into a percentage for pr... | |
| Hunt for new floor standers I love my Dali Mentor 6 floorstanders and I’m amazed that you can get them used for well less that $2K. Lots of bass, detailed but not shrill at all. The newer Rubicon 6s are one step closer to the Epicon series that first got me interested in Dal... | |
