| Quiet Enjoyment: right of audiophiles neighbors to NOT be annoyed I agree with being respectful of one's neighbors, but the culture of complaint and victimhood is badly out of control. Which is one reason I no longer live in a co-op; I was just tired of hearing neighbors complains about my dogs barking, music a... | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! The answer is simple. According to one prominent philosopher, it's "42".Ah, but what's the real question? Read this before attempting a response!http://www.gutenberg.org/files/33854/33854-h/33854-h.htmGasbose | |

| “Suits” tsai50Thanks for your insight. Clearly 'Sherlock' was really Prof Moriarty in disguise. What other cold-blooded villain would leave such a system unheard?Gasbose | |
| THE GRYPHON HAS LANDED at THE SHOW NEWPORT | THE SHOW JUNE 1-3 2018 Never heard of Gryphon, but puzzled about the claim that it is the only company that does everything from A to Z... what about all the Japanese manufacturers that do 'integrated' systems -- SONY, Technics, Yamaha, etc?

| A Budget Amp Comparison This is a great thread - thanks, SnapSC!I'm an audiophile on a budget (too many other priorities), so I appreciate reviews of budget gear. I'm quite happy with my vintage SA-12, but if I ever need to replace it, you've given me 3 alternatives!Gasbose | |
| Sub-Woofer? Thanks, guys! Bigkidz, I actually had all the capacitors in my preamp, amp and speaker cross-overs replaced. I don't know what brand he used, but he tells me they all had upgraded capacitance.Chazzy and Wolf, I am keeping my eyes open for used RE... | |
| Replace a 0.5 mV Grado Reference Sonata 1 for a Dynavector-DV20X2-H 2.8 mV ??? Thehorn,What yogiboy and noromance said. You have a low-output cartridge with a preamp designed for high-output devices. Maybe Grado will agree to exchange. Or you could look at getting a step-up transformer to enable your exiting cartridge and p... | |
| Sub-Woofer? Thanks Astewart! But I'm planning around a slightly lower budget; this is my first try at a sub-woofer and it's kid of experimental. But thanks for the suggestion!Tutetblimperes, I'm sure you're right. But I'm not really looking for floor-shaking ... |
