| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? Get mine, get mine! Get what I got and validate my decision. ;^)But seriously, I looked into the Class D suggested by @rar1 an was amused to find this in one of the reviews:" I bought a pair of Totem Dreamcatcher speakers two weeks ago and the n... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses "that’s why I included ...... among the mossbacks" @geoffkait , I haven't heard that term in ages! Brings back great memories. You must be a bass angler." I felt it improved the dynamics in my Cary tube amp but only if installed in the proper di... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? @blueranger , I am curious why you only use Gruv Glide on your most worn records? I was/am a big fan of Sound Guard back in the day. The LPs I treated are still new looking and sounding. I was hoping Gruv Glide was a vert similar product.As for my... | |

| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? The oldest piece I still own is a Stax SR-40/SRD-4 set that I got in the '70s. I have upgraded to a SRX Mk 3/ SRM-T1S(pretty vintage, themselves); but I still plug the SR-40s in to the T1S from time to time. They have something in their sound that... | |

| The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why? I would audition a suspended deck. If you like the characteristics a used Oracle Alexandria might be budget friendly.
