| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? There certainly have been several really excellent milestones. Like going from a Khartago to I Kismet Reference from Odyssey. But sometimes it’s a small change, usually inexpensive, that makes an unexpectedly great change in SQ. ...Herbies decoup... | |
| Why so many used focals? Just enjoying new aria 936’s. I audition a fair no of speakers in the price range and several quite a bit more. The Focals have, IMO, the most balanced and uncolored sound anywhere near their price point. They are very sensitive to good amplificat... | |
| Break in blues I assume break-in naysayers are exempting speakers from their skepticism? Mechanical changes and the forming of crossover capacitors are not ‘in your head’. Driver motors clearly break in at a declining rate, but they do change. It’s measurabl... | |
| Best Phone Stage for under $1,000.000 Another vote for the Jd9. Out of The box it’s pretty good; with great tubes (brimar), modified caps and op amps... way above what you’d expect at the price point. A bit much on the gain, so a quality attenuator helps a lot. | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? +1 pbnaudioi have the same set up. It’s made 40 year old lps, that I took great care of from day one, come to life. Who knew what micro dirt could take out of the music?amazingflea market records can still disappoint, but not nearly as often. Make... | |

| So what’s the future look like yes it is easy to think, in part, that the price of entry that keeps young people out. I really thought so just a couple of days ago. then my son showed me what he and his girlfriend could pull together with 1700.00 some used, some new some ... | |
| So what’s the future look like Obviously typing on a phone is not my strong suit. | |
| So what’s the future look like Unlike my employee, my kids do hear the difference. I think In part they’re intimidated by the cost of even midfi theses days. So they think of good reproduction as something for someday down the road. | |
| So what’s the future look like I should add.. my kids have the broadest taste in music I could imagine(though broad within rock and pop, my jazz intrigues them bit just for the moment)theyre beginnong to get Hi-Fi and why it matters... but they seem to be the exception amongst... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs Based on this video, I’ve decided to wash my truck with Lava Soap. And steel wool. I’m sure it wil be super clean. And I can be rid of that pesky clear coat. | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? If you haven’t committed to the Lehman yet you might consider an upgraded Jolida JD9. A few more dollars and a bit hard to find used, but it gives you a huge range of loading options and sounds great.sweet and detailed-both. | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense Amg56. Guess you missed the point. I did my test with the intention of hearing the entirety of my family of upgrades removed to judge the overall effectiveness of the lot of them. It was more than a bit biased by expectation I suppose, but did s... | |

| What Matters and What is Nonsense Inspirational!i was so moved by the anti tweak commentary, I spent three hours taking my system back to factory default (as much as I could, wasn’t going to pull the mods out of the phono pre). RadioShack ic’s and zipcord went in though. .rega ba... |
