Goodbye Everyone
@elliottbnewcombjr  You just need an 'attaboy', we all do now and then.  
Goodbye Everyone
When a hobby turns into a cult this is what happens. We all give advice based on our experience and knowledge but most of all personal preference.   Audio SQ is strictly subjective, so recommendations should be acknowledged but not necessarily a... 
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
Snuck into my Uncle's basement in 1959 when I was 10 and he was relaxing to some new fangled Stereo LP's. The room was dark except for the glow of tubes; the sound was everywhere, like a blanket on me.  He was playing jazz and I felt the performe... 
Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product?
@niodari  In Spring of 2021 I bought a P3 with Ania MC cart. #1 The tonearm leads were the cheapest, most fragile ones I've ever encountered; and I've owned 8 tables over the last 50 years. #2 The closer the tonearm was to the spindle, the loud... 
MC for Low Mass Tonearm
If you check out the specs on an AT OC9 XML you'll see that it's custom made for your arm's 8.5 g effective mass.     Save yourself a ton of money.  
Are you getting the bass you deserve?
@sounds_real_audio I guess to refine the question if you feel that you have enough bass how did you get to that point. Was it simply avoiding the hype surrounding bass or something else?   I’ve owned OHM Walsh 4’s since 1986. #1 Ensure cabinet ... 
AT33PTG/II upgrade? Compatible?
Hi There, I've had the PTG33/II for a year now, prior to that had an OC9ML and before that an original OC9.  The 33 is even more neutral than the OC's and slightly warmer than the OCs.  Superb on jazz not as good on rock as the OC's.  In my opini... 
What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ?
Queen's Greatest Hits - Hollywood Records... just bought it a week ago. Excellent recording.   Heybrook TT2 /slightly modded LVX arm, Ring Mat and AT33PTG/II  
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
In the fall of 1975 I listened to a pair of Dayton Wright XG-8 Mark III electrostatic speakers.  They were being demoed at an audio store in Rochester, NY, Baez's 'Diamonds & Rust' was playing.... I thought on I was on a different planet.  
NAKAMICHI PA-7 & Klipsch safe and sound
Well Moose,  I have the PA-7A MKII amp with a CA-7A pre.  The PA-7 series of NAK amps were a stasis bipolar design.  Smooth in all frequencies with tight bass but I would not characterize them as 'tube like' or warm sounding.  They run in class A ... 
Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . .
@ Last_Lemming:  You couldn't find the proper interconnects to do the job?   
After the thrill is gone
@mapman  Ohm Walsh speaker owners seldom have this problem. 😉 I've had my Walsh 4's since 1986.  They've been re-foamed twice, internal batting has been re-tuned by yours truly, and lastly, since they are bottom vented, I've experimented with p... 
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
I've always seen LP12's as a giant money pit with 'upgrades' that are actually 'fixes'.  I have an all original Heybrook TT2 built in 1984 with an LVX tonearm.  I've auditioned other tables at home with whatever cart I'm currently using (AT33PTG/I... 
Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY
@veemike , FYI: I bought my OHM Walsh 4's in 1986, they were store demos built in 1984, back then OHM had dealers.. They've been refurbished twice by OHM (1998 & 2021); they still sound as good now as they did when I first heart them back in... 
Adcom 545 MKII Amp...A "Pop "Sound
The problem can be caused by many things, but input differential transistors going out of mismatch is the most common, followed by fading resistors in the feedback and/or input impedance. Also a problem is an electrolytic capacitor in the feedbac...
