| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers Before commenting, I read the 2011 stereophile review of your Linns. The then $2995 MSRP is likely $10,000+ today. Knowing Linns long history of great sound, I would rebuild around them. Technics has just come out with a MkII version of their SU-... | |

| High quality CDs About 6 years ago I bought an Oppo 105 specifically to enjoy the so-called benefits of higher resolution SACDs/DVD-As. Turns out the 105 simply isn't that great for either SACD and especially Red book. Quite likely the transport is the biggest iss... | |
| List some of the worst-sounding CDs you've heard, lately @stuartk Im not disputing that some cd's will sound less good regardless, but, better kit makes a huge improvement | |
| List some of the worst-sounding CDs you've heard, lately It's been a very long time since I had a dedicated transport. Some 15 years ago I bought a Raysonic 168 with 4 tubes and variable balanced outputs. It performed flawlessly. Several years later Raysonic introduced the 2 box 228, which also had 4 tu... | |
| Balanced a good decision. Why? @russ69 Have you actually heard a complete true balanced system? About 20 years ago I followed Paul McGowans move to true balanced kit. I have listened to the identical manufacturers 0.5m and 1.0m XLR cables and could easily hear the improve... | |

| Moderately priced power and optilink cables? I used Toslink for a few years because my then Pioneer PD 65 player/transport only had toslink out. When I upgraded my transport it offered both Toslink and Coax. So I started with my Toslink, but I got curious about Coax and bought a Pangea Premi... | |

| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @jaymark Thanks for chiming in. Never have I appreciated more the sentiment "what's upstream makes a huge difference". When I first installed the Voyager I was using a Marantz HD CD-1 as a transport. Fortunately (seems odd to say) it developed i... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Dick Olsher (TAS) gave a glowing review(NPI) of the Icon Audio LA 4 MkIII tube pre | |
| Standmount speaker recommendations for vintage amp From personal experience: the height of the speaker stand is a relationship based on your seated ear height from your listening chair and the height of the center of the tweeter on said stand. An easy way to get in the zone is while playing music ... | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Before you move on, inexpensive Nobsound springs should work wonders under both the player and the Neo PSU. I have them under all my kit, including speakers hth | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? I had the A23 5 years ago. Nice amp, but... GaN technology brings a number of benefits to the table, high efficiency, cool running, and most importantly, fantastic sound. I have owned the LSA Voyager GaN 350 for over a year, and thrown all kin... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… I highly recommend the LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp (it will make you forget about tubes). It plays all kinds of music wonderfully MSRP $3000 or the LSA 150 $1200 |
