BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH?
I would go with the larger 16 gauge also. I have since got back in touch with @dopogue and he has put his clear day interconnects back on in his system and said because the clear days interconnects were more ’musical’ than the Duelunds. And that i... 
BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH?
@craigert, I think the little time you put in doing your research has paid off really well. So good in fact you have also helped you fellow 'audiophiles'. @dopogue is using Duelund 20g interconnects over his highly regarded clear day cable interco...

@rauliruegas, I know this is off topic but Raul I have learned soooo much from you about styli and cartridges. Thank you!And I have to disagree with you a little bit as this being a analog forum only. There many subwoofers, DACs, CD players and ot... 
Value of burn/break in?
I'm an old school guy and like to burn/break in myself and listen to the gradual changes in my sound system. It seems that listening to your audio system by using your ears is a lost art these days. Also keep in mind when running your tube phono p... 
Cable Burn In
@dopogue,If you want to sell those Clear Day interconnects I’d take them off your hands. I actually need 2 pair. 1 pair for the phono to phono preamp and 1 pair for phono preamp to receiver. I find it ironic that the Clear Day interconnects ar... 
Great Value in Used Phono Preamp’s?
@adg101 and @boxer12 +1 On the Parks Audio Budgie and +1 on the Parks Audio SUT, if you can find them for sale. There’re so good, for the small amount of money they cost people who own them hold on to them and don’t sell them. And the maker of the... 
My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright!
I also recommend Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio. I bought 2 NOS Telefunken E88CC/6922's.Here is my excerpt from: The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... 'Also while researching phono preamplifiers I found out about 'tube rolling'. However I thought t... 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
A company called Anvil Turntables used to make a similar product like opposing magnetic isolation feet but you can’t access their site anymore. Curious.http://www.contractorsweldingsupply.com/new-product.html 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
And I forgot to mention that some of the most expensive vintage and new turntable plinths use the same technique also, except with a butcher block and a lot of the newer turntables on the market today, there is hardly none to no void - for the vib... 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
@invictus005 ,You’re actually half right. Sometimes people have nothing else better to do. I found my 1-1/4" thick butcher block at my aunt’s house. It was at least 20 years old and hadn’t been used in years. This particular block had round feet m... 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
I also have used these Hudson Hi-Fi Silicone Isolation Feet (4 Pack, Soft Block 60lb capacity) for speaker, cd player and receiver feet. The above items and these here are by Hudson Hi-Fi and cost very little for what they do.https://www.ebay.com/... 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
@bpoletti I used these Hudson Hi-Fi 4x 2.5" Platinum Silicone Hemisphere Bumper Non Skid Isolation Feet w. Adhesive - that were reasonably priced for my butcher block turntable base. They are easier to use and don’t have the sticky tacky feel of s... 
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
@unreceivedogma, First of all my rig is in no way in your rigs league. Let’s get that straight right now. I notice you play your albums with the dust cover on. Well, my first so called ’audiophile’ turntable was a Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 SE and I couldn... 
Parks Audio Puffin
Thanks johnto for starting this discussion and thanks jimofmaine and mschu for taking the time to responding to this thread. I may not have sounded like a fan of the Puffin, but I really am. And if I would not have the Budgie, I would have purchas... 
Parks Audio Puffin
Hi good folks,I would like to hear a review from someone who already owns a Parks Audio Budgie Tube Phono preamplifier and has tube rolled (2) NOS Telefunken E88CC/6922 vacuum tubes or similar vs the new Parks Audio Puffin.   Not to long aft...
