| Technics SL-1310 Mk2 I have two Technics "auto" turntables. The SL-Q3 and the 1600 MK2. Not to derail what you seek, yet the SL-Q3 is highly recommended. Being able to select the number of repeats is very nice. It is a great low frills unit that will tide you over unt... | |
| If Conrad Johnson still made a DAC it would sound like?? Van Alstine may be close to what you seek. Definitely not as rich as a CJ product yet way less "nails on a chalkboard" sound than many of the products out there... | |
| Can we contribute @audition__audio Amen, sir. Having to guess as to what the reviewer may or may be trying to say is tiresome at best. A healthy dose of honest reviews sure would be nice... | |

| Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG? Perhaps the MSRP listed by some is adjusted for inflation? The same inflation we are told is minimal at most…. 🙄 | |
| A very weird (to me) issue with an Audible Illusions Modulus L2B ... Agreed with @stereo5. If you possess soldering skills, maybe give the board a look see under a magnifying glass. Perhaps something will stand out as needing a little reflow. Another option is to send the unit into a reputable repair facility. PCX ... | |

| Quandry It’s 2023. Thanks to the devalued currency, everything is expensive. | |
| Sometimes, things go right with impulse purchases. What is “a normal listening level?” | |
| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative Madisound speakers in Madison Wisconsin may be able to help find a replacement. Perhaps send them an email with your inquiry? | |
| MoFi "Mobile Fidelity" Master Phono. Thank you for the link. It appears to be a solid unit. Hopefully someone will chime in with a first hand account of its performance. |
