| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? @OP - I previously owned a 20/12a and replaced it with a Technics SL 1200GAE, keeping the same cartridge. I partly did it as an interim step to fund an upgrade to my digital system. However, the SME was not hands down better than the Technics. I ... | |

| RIP Glenn Croft @ noromance, i've never been a particular fan of 84s myself. I love them in a Vox AC 30. But for the same reason, I'm less fond of them in hi fi amplifiers! | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Back to the question of why are people spending money (or "so much money" in the words of the OP) on streaming. I suppose the question is, relative to what, in the sense of why do people spend lots of money on anything? But to avoid going down tha... | |
| RIP Glenn Croft Very sad to hear. I sold his amplifiers back in the 1980's. His 6550 based Series 4 power amp was really outstanding. For some reason he discontinued it in favour of lower powered EL84 based designs - possibly because it was too expensive to make.... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions Your budget might stretch to a pre owned Clearaudio Innovation plus arm (arm choice dependent on budget). The standard PSU is just a wall wart which would leave the option of upgrading to the Professional 24v supply if you move to Europe. | |
| High-end-turntables Hello folks. I can tell you categorically that High End Turntables is not located in Ireland. The address terrestrial address they give is for short term serviced offices located in the centre of Dublin city and the rental company have confirmed t... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations for SME V Arm @clearthinker - absoltutely. VdH cartridges' low tracking weight makes them long lived anyway and AJ's retip/rebuilds are tremendous value for money. @retiredfarmer - how do you define "fun to listen to" with specific reference to the Glider v th... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations for SME V Arm A Van den Hul Frog would suit your musical tastes very well. From looking at the specs, the PH3 has gain of 54db, so you would probably need the HO high output version of the Frog. | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? MQA sounds processed - no surprise there as that's what it is - heavily processed at that. As multiple posters above have said, in an era when there is no problem streaming high sample rate / word length files, MQA is obsolete. That's along with... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole They could do a jazz infused Supremes session. At the tempos that Patricia Barber and Diana Krall favour, you certainly can't hurry love:) | |
| Has anyone tried the new Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter? @tatyana69 Entreq's grounding boxes have a completely different function to these RJ45 plugs. The Synergistic Galileo box has a grounding function but it is completely different in its design to the Entreq system. | |
| Preamp with two volume controls? As many of the replies so far indicate, the general purpose of equipping a preamp with two volume controls is to negate the requirement for a balance control and not to provide control over two different outputs. To achieve the latter, assuming t... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? It's a lottery, but 20 years is good going. That said, I have a pair of Meridian active speakers in my garage that are still working 35 years on. It kind of depends on whether you believe in preventative maintenance or are a kind of fix it when i... |
