| What is the life of a Grado Wood cartridge? Cartridge life can be considerable- my Linn Arkiv B, which I bought in the early 2000's, and gets maybe an hour or 2 playing time a week, is still going strong. | |
| Speakers better than Revel Salon 2 Yes, the Salon 2’s have been around a very long time- but they were and remain excellent | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? Thanks- I like the dynamics of my XP-15 but I do think the noise floor could be lower, but then again I am using fairly high gain, as I have a low output MC cartThe folks at Pass and Mark at Reno have always been super helpful to me- | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? Curious- what if anything have you learned are the benefits of an XP-17 over the XP-15? An XP-15 owner here is curious- While I very much like my XP-15 . . . but, you know- | |
| Bricasti M3 No experience with the M3 but I have an M1 and can state that Bricasti is a great company to deal with. They resolved an issue with my M1 incredibly fast and fwiw the M1 is a great DAC. | |

| Brands that have the least depreciation Like many others have said, McIntosh definitely does well in retaining value. | |

And i... | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? How about If a persons system has been unchanged for four years, and that person says they are absolutely thrilled with the way things are. Does that mean anything? | |
| Mcintosh 7270, impedance with Martin Logan Request. I wouldn’t be surprised if your ML’s dipped down to 2 ohms at spots- I would probably go with the 2 ohm, but I’d also listen at 4 ohm and see which I preferred. Recall, the 4 ohm rating is ’nominal’ and really doesn’t tell you anything of the impe... | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? A madman? Thank you!! | |
| What brand was better than it is today? Definitely Marantz- | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Tice clock? First time I saw it- in a store in NYC, I thought it was a gag. Peter Belt's stuff is in the realm of voodoo, IMO. Cable lifts? If that's your thing, a good hardware store can sell you rebar separators that work perfectly as cable lift... | |
| What is a lowball offer? How low is low? The 16LS2 is an older preamp, long out of production. Offer what you like. It's your money, and it's up to the seller to say yes or no. You have no downside. Frankly, the idea of a low offer being an insult is a little silly in my opinion. It's no... | |
| I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent Sometimes a more expensive part is a better part. At other times a more expensive part is just a more expensive part. |
