Interconnects matching
Once a hot topic, Gabriel Golds are very good and I believe the maker has a few demo pairs up that will fit in your budget.  Check the search box for old threads with high praise.    
DOGE 10 MK3
I cannot give you any specific info on these amps, although I had a Doge5 CD player, which I loved.  But when buying from China, it's worth noting that Doge offers service in the buyer's home country, which is a big plus if you need it.  I don't k... 
Onzow ZeroDust reportedly leaves a residue
This is by far the worst news I've heard in the last 2 years.   
Kal was right!
It's nice to see someone who bought a product based on actual audition instead of imagination and video reviewers who don't play music.  You spent a lot of money, but you have the satisfaction of knowing you liked what you bought.  I'm sure they w... 
Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard
So I got the $129 Pro-ject phono stage from Amazon and everything works perfect.  I'm sure I'm the only one in the world using a $5k cartridge with a $129 phono stage.  I'm a little embarrassed to say it doesn't sound horrible at all. You should g... 
Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard
@apogeum - Good catch.  I reversed the tt leads and the same sound stayed right.  So it has to be the Linto I think. As for the anti-skate, I checked the tonearm leads and the cue and I didn't see anything.  I ordered a cheap $129 Pro-Ject MM/MC p... 
Interesting observations
Seems to me that from an "engineering standpoint", if your first cable didn't work at all and the new one worked, the first one was broken.  Even the cheapest cable, if functioning properly, should allow the components to work together electricall... 
Upgrading my system
The fact that you're saying the sound is "nice" is a good start.  Perhaps you should consider putting some resources into maxing out what you have, such as cables or platforms.  Many would argue against this and there are many who would agree, but... 
MIT Oracle V4 Speaker Cables Help
I would run this by Joe Abrams, who sells a lot of MIT on this site.  Yes, he is a dealer and he may tell you that the newer MIT cables he is selling are far better than the older V4, but at least you will have another opinion.  Then again, he may... 
RCA interconnect recommendation
I find it a bit odd that someone who owns Weiss and EAR has no idea about interconnects, because they're pretty sophisticated components.  But if you never fooled around with cables, I suggest you buy a couple of pairs of ICs from Blue Jeans for a... 
Rega Planar 8 : Linn Linto phono stage vs. Rega Aria phono stage
Is the Alpheta broken in yet?  It does take some time.  But changing a turntable/arm/cart all at once is bound to bring a different sonic presentation and your ears need to readjust to everthing.  Personaly, I would give it at least a month before... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
If you want to keep a secret, don't tell anybody.  Once you go public with anything, you open yourself up to all matter of comment.   
Headphone for multi-use
What do you mean by using the headphones for entertaining?  You mean just listening?  And why would they sound different when using them for working?  I think you need to be a little more clear about this.  Also need a budget and what you intend t... 
Esoteric K03XD
That’s very nice of him. And I agree shipping is expensive and also very risky. I don’t know - I have something against Esoteric since I had my X-05, which I absolutely hated. Nobody ever says anything bad about Esoteric until the next generation ... 
Esoteric K03XD
If he is a good friend, he will let you send it back if you don't care for it.  Won't he?
