I thought I’d post a follow up post if anyone is curious as to what direction I went. Being that the sound I hear in my head is oh-so-close, I reached out to Bill at LKV and he’s really interested in trying out the naked foil resistors. It’ll be s...

@edgewear I worked with Bill at LKV to get the gain at 47k up to wear it needed to be to support a 1mv output from my Statement Reference v.2 Didn't mean to imply it was dark and lifeless necessarily, it certainly is not that.  But, I want more ya...

@johnss I will look into this. I wonder if the designer would agree with you and not mind humoring me. Bill has been such a cool guy to go through this process with.  This could be a nice tweak to grab that "micro detail" that I know is there. I'm...

@tomic601 hey!, whaddya know, maybe there is more Grado fans than I thought! Grado’s there sure is something about them for that full bodied natural presentation(midrange?). Seems like you got some nice set-ups going. 2-votes Lyra. with Nagaoka co...

Hey all, johnss, my stage is I think a nice one, its the LKV-2sb.  Dual mono, outboard power supply, decent amount of gain for a lo-out cart. Usual options for loading and gain.  I'm not sure about changing that out, it'd be a pricier proposition.... 
What are you going to buy / download this season?
I picked up the Dead’s RSD release, “Playin In The Band”. Knock your socks off production /sound(wall of sound era) and the music(one song over both sides-45 minutes long), is pretty darn epic.  
Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
That was great I had no idea what he was talking about but I liked it. “A proper crossover or a mess.” Ya!  I think I’ll subscribe ocdhifiguy. I can relate somewhat sometimes I give people a glazed over face when I get going 
Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment.
I’m gonna come at this just a bit different in my suggestions based on my digging around like folkfreak suggested as a methodology. I have found anything by these guys to be excellent music and top fkn shelf sound. These are not rare birds but I g... 
Best MM?
Been running a Grado Statement v2 as of late and I just love it. Traded in an older Grado Ref. v1( started out way back with a Sonata) and it was only 1k for new one. I’m glad to see new v2 Grados get a mention here. I’ve often wondered if I was j... 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Hey guys, should I put the fuse in my amp or the separate power supply for my phono pre. I have a volume control on my amp so no seperate preamp. Thanks. 
What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system?
I like how it sounds life like, tone and the imaging. Not to big or anemic. It’s full and spacious. I had a channel imbalance that has been bugging me, fixed now. Cart set up issue. Now wondering about just a little more of. . .something. A blue o... 
Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?
lookin like net neutrality on a micro scale and a dash of social stratification with whiffs of gentrification. It’s obvious who they really want around. And that’s fine they gotta make money. I’ll find other forums not worried. Will be interesting...

Thiel CS2.4 to what?
Well, I haven’t moved from the 2.4 but does the 1.5 count? Probably not. But I did love those little speakers and I did covet the 2.4’s, still do actually. Anyway moved to low power set and single driver and have now gone push pull and supplemente... 
In need high-efficency speakers
I had some GoldenEar’s for awhile and you know what they were great speakers. I foolishly thought they weren’t audiophiley enough at the time. Meaning they just didn’t seem cool enough, dumb I know. But they imaged big, great tone on em. I listene...
