| Anyone try Mogami Neglex for balanced interconnect Well now I am using the Mogami gold between my tuner (md105) and my integrated (Pass Int-150). Solid results, good imaging, dynamics to burn. Do I sell my Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Ovals (2m) which in this crazy hobby isn't considered expensive b... | |
| Alarm Clock with Audiophile Grade Sound? I have had my Nakamichi clock radio now for 23 years. Works great sounds pretty good too? Long out of production but worth searching out. No idea what they Go for today. | |
| Wireworld oasis 6 interconnect oppinionins I have a pair of the Oasis 7, one meter, which I think is stunningly good, and a bargain at the asking price. Sure it's made in China, but that why it's not 3 times the price. Yes, IMHO, better than PBJ (which after looking at them I think they sh... | |
| Soundstage vs background noise? I've have a dedicated 20A line for years. The Rogue is an integrated, but my CJ gear, an MV60SE and LS172, where seperates. Presently I am not running any balanced lines but years back when I had an Pass Pre and M L amp, I ran all balanced. My pho... | |
| Peak listening levels- Al's comment on dynamic range vs. listening levels is spot on. The wider the dynamic range the higher the level I'm listening at. Primarily because otherwise you just can't hear the content at the very lowest level. | |
| Thorens "Kugelarm" Everyone is right. The arm was made out of noodles and potato. After standing for a few days kugel gets hard but can be carved. Excellent resonance rejection because its made out of a single chunk of kugel carved to the right shape. Same idea as t... | |
| Peak listening levels- 100dB at my chair. Listening today with an SPL meter nearby saw reading max out at 102, and more typically high 80's to mid 90's | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Look at the Audiolab, they have CD player that also incorporates a peamp, which should fit your bill. I think its around the $1500 mark new. And you get a full function preamp! | |
| Soundstage vs background noise? I appreciate all the comments. Ralph, my experience is that tubes are just noisier than solid state. Admittedly I do not listen to music with my ear 4 inches from the tweeter, but I have to tell you, at that close range I always heard a hiss throu... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? As an owner of F30's, perhaps I can add something. Cables matter. I have settled on Analysis Plus Solo Crystal IC's - my reference for years and available pretty reasonably on the used market. My speaker cables are Nordost.Originally I also used t... | |
| LP12 upgrades The single biggest improvement I experienced with my LP 12 was the Lingo, which surprised me. A much bigger deal than when I added an Ekos arm. And last summer I had my table tuned up by a longtime Linn guy in Westchester. That breathed life on th... | |
| Primaluna prologue 2 based system upgrade I'm going to suggest something free. Go to the Cardas website. They have a speaker/room placement calculator which I found to be pretty effective. What was most unexpected is that the bass locked into the room better when I placed the speakers per... | |

| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? 1976, Queen, Night at the Opera | |
| Wildly fluttering woofer Had same situation. It was my phono stage. Got it fixed, problem solved |
