| Mono Cartridge Recommendations @folkfreak Thank you for that info. I do you have A mono switch, made by KAB, and it is well-made, but it is outboard and requires more RCA connections to place in the circuit. I was concerned about loss of dynamics. One Miyajima dealer told me t... | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations @Clearthink - What's with your tone? Is there any reason to be anything but helpful here? You quoted me a little out of context. I said that "many" mono cartridges have low compliance, not all. Particularly not stereo adopted mono cartridges. ... | |

| New Bluesound's Node 2i I am using Ethernet and an external DAC. Wonder if there would be any further difference? Apple AirPlay is new and would be nice. | |
| New Bluesound's Node 2i @lowrider57 Those prices are no bargain, and they do not represent dumping. Looking forward to hearing the opinions of others on this website. Particularly with an Xternal DAC. Is the what hi-fi review real or Hype? | |
| Is it OK to leave a tube preamp on all the time? Get a tube preamp with a home theater pass-through function so it is not necessary to set the volume control. Then all that needs to happen is turning the power on | |
| Thorens TD 166 mk2 I would love to get more information about how I can improve the performance of mine. Also, is there a reason that mine starts so slow? I usually give it a little bit of a cyst to get it up to speed, although it does stay on speed. | |
| Thorens TD 166 mk2 @helomech. I see no information on that website about tweaking a 166 turntable. |
