| Tonearm/Cartridge pairing. To answer your question, looks like the combination it should be okay. Even possibly the Technics tonearm a better match for the Goldring. Second thought, cartridge setup. Something is not adjusted right. Overhang, azimuth, vertical tracking a... | |
| McIntosh C52 to C53 Upgrade I'll play the devil's advocate. Go for it. Screw the reviews, worthiness of upgrade or sound quality. This is why you worked so hard to earned and have the money. Upwards and onwards. The only American way to go. Gloooory glory halleluuujah ... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? Speaking for myself, it's all about what I hear. Usually, I already know the price. But not always. The "specs" doesn't really matter. A manufacture that prints less than or poor specs is either brutally honest and or lacking marketing savvy. | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? First New Purchase: 70's? Lafayette Electronics, Honolulu, HI. Criterion speakers. Lafayette integrated amp. Parking lot blow out sale. New technology called Solid State. Yup. Someday it will take off and be the "thing" everyone has. First ... | |
| 15 ohm speakers yea or nay? I would say Yea. Because the only speaker that I know that has 15ohm and 83db spl ratings with the Falcon name attached is their Rogers LS 3/5a speakers. After 40 years and many speakers have come and gone, I still love Rogers. Now that you men... | |
| Denon DP-100 - User Manual (need to help again) Does your unit have the Dynamic Servo Tracker arm? I think this arm has been installed onto other Denon turntables. Possibly those turntables using the Servo Tracker will do. May need the service manual. I have serviced other servo/linear trac... | |
| Why not? I am happy if the manufacture provides a power cord at all. I wow at a dvd that comes with those red, white and yellow cables and batteries for the remote! However, I feel High End products should NOT come with any cables at all. Many manufactu... | |
| What Is Most Important? The Performance. I may disregard the technical aspects of a recording and media delivery for a great Performance. But there are limits to what I will accept. | |

| Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair Looks like something that would come alive, shed its skin and eat you and your family. Set itself back into your system and no one would know. My girlfriend thought the Avantgardes are sinister looking. This one creeped her out. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage @yyzsantabarbara I hear you. Yes, what we audiophile will do and go thru for our music. I did the same years ago, 1980's with a Phase Linear 400 amplifier. I carried it on by the faceplate handles. I would not try that now. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage There was a restriction of the size of the carry-on baggage. There was a stand with a form you would put your baggage into. If it didn't fit, it would have to be "checked". I would post it. Travelling now is difficult enough. You want the "ex... | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? Looks. Aesthetics. Visual presentation. Then what it sounds like. Like a wonderful $250 dinner for two. Eyes feast first. Then the mouth. Avantgarde? I don't care what they sound like. Not in my home. | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? My opinion, there are two aspects of "a recording". Probably more. The Technical and the Performance. There is a YouTube video claiming "the best 'recording' of Chopin...." Horowitz's performance was impeccable. The recording was horrible. A... | |
| Turn down the Volume! I learned a long time ago. It is not how loud your system can play, it is how soft your system can play and bring you all the detail and expressions you want. Good thing I practice that. In my present living conditions, it is essential. Or I'l... |
