| best interconnect at decent price I had a "below average" experience with the Anti-Cables 6.2 interconnects. While not exactly "budget" they are way more affordable than high end cables it supposedly competes with.After extensive burn-in I could tell NO difference between the 6.2 ... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I can't detect any sound from it, at least not past the underlying hum / vibration present in my rack. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? So I got my Chinese balanced isolation transformer from AliExpress yesterday and has been burning in since. It's showing an open ground on the outlets so that's probably proof that it's running balanced.Anyway, first listening experience is that t... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... LOOK.No one has money. Everyone on here is a have-not. Let's just be real. If the item isn't less than $2k it's hard to sell.Even if you're in the market for a $5-10k item, those are almost all dealers trying to sell new OR they're trying to make ... | |

| Tonearms: Ripoff? So, there's a few Durand arms that've come up today. One is a Talea for $5k, and the other is a Telos for $14k -- setting aside the Telos which this guy is asking for an amount that costs more than my enitre vinyl rig including the $1k I just spen... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? The price difference between, say, a Schiit Vidar ($700) and a D'Agostino Progression is about 3,000%. The audio performance difference is of course night and day -- in terms of an arbitrary numeric factor maybe somewhere around 500% better? The v... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? The isn’t whether I want to spend a lot of money on high end tonearms or not, the issue is if they are a ripoff or not. Do they offer audio performance above cheaper ones? This is NOT hard to understand.So far there is ONE poster who says he’s see... | |
