Sota or Technics
Any Sota Turntable comes with a lifetime trade-in program. As it has been said here -the real magic happens with a full suspension. The Comet V is excellent. Then you can trade up to a suspended chassis model later.  
Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ?
I have several vintage class A amps but I’m always looking for others. I have been looking for Levinson ML-2s. Not easy to find. I’m betting they are very expensive to update. Good luck finding a pair of the Classe DR3s. I’ve seen one for sale in ... 
Listening in the dark-Fluorescent lights causing hum
It’s Possible that it is the same circuit. I’ll check later tonight. I’m not sure I could move them without a new breaker box. The current one is maxed. Of course the easy solution doesn’t work for me. I’m never that lucky.  
Listening in the dark-Fluorescent lights causing hum
erik_squires -Actual hum from the speakers. Is there a way to figure out which fixture? There are 9.  
Can anybody be a speaker designer?
So you want these companies who are ripping off their customers held accountable because they don’t live up to the performance claims they make? Name them! What brand and what performance claim did they make that they failed to meet? When did you ... 
Can anybody be a speaker designer?
Kenjit you constantly besmirch the reputations of all speaker companies, stating that they all knowingly rip-off their customers. How is that level of trolling even allowed on here?  Clearly you have not listened to all the top performing brands. ... 
Trying to get Sound Stage with Klipsch Tower Speakers
I’ve used several models of Klipsch speakers -but not your specific units. I’ve found that some image best with extreme toe in. Others sound best with none. I assume you’ve tried it with no toe in. Try the extreme toe in. Point the left speaker at... 
The problem with Magicos
Kenjit You have never heard magico speakers. Obviously. Why pretend that you have and that they are bad? Desperate for any form of attention? 
What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully?
In the spirit of the original post, I have converted/enlightened some friends on the value of LP playback. Those that started this hobby with CDs or streaming as the norm were baffled that LPs could sound so pleasing. Notice I’m not saying “better... 
In praise of the ESL-57
I’ll second the comment about using a Bedini 25/25 with those speakers. I have no idea why they work so well together, but they do.  
Poor Fritz
I used to run a two-man custom speaker shop. It’s a hard business. I seemed to have found more than a few customers who thought they knew everything, but they had no clue on what it takes to make a decent speaker. Often the customization of the sp... 
Bedini 25/25 1 meg
I have 3 Bedini amps. Amazing if used correctly. The 1 Meg designation refers to 1 megahertz in frequency response if I remember correctly. It was applied to the souped up version of several models. The price asked was correct for a 1 meg due to t... 
There's gold in them frequencies!
Now the race is on to collect all the vintage frequencies available! In fact, how can we call ourselves audiophiles until we have ALL the vintage frequencies? But wait... are any of them patented? Or is it copyrighted? I’m not paying royalties if ... 
Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy?
Thanks for the comic relief. This is the best free entertainment you can get. It’s not audio related and it is entirely garbage, but still so much fun to read.  
l just discovered another one of the record companies dirty tricks?
Why buy a remastered album if what you want is the original?
