| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? Zero Stat lol. Unfortunately, I see absolutely no improvement when using. I'd say best used as a paperweight, only its not heavy enough. The maple shade static draining brush looks intriguing.... cheaper too! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brand X - Moroccan rollIntroducing the 11th House with Larry CoryellA couple of recent finds in great shape, sound nice. Now David Grisman Quintet (not vinyl unfortunately) | |
| Cassettes still rock! I don’t play cassettes anymore but my brother does. He has a very inexpensive system in his garage with an old Panasonic cassette player I believe. Maybe 100 old cassettes. Does it sound good? Hell no, it sounds like total crap! But he absolute... | |
| What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging? I never knew good imaging in my room until DIY room treatments - first reflection points and bass traps on the front wall. Instant huge improvement, even with my very modest system. Are treatments the biggest influence? In my experience maybe. ... | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ I was slightly surprised at the pricetag (I say slightly because there are so many very expensive audio products out there that nothing shocks me). Before he mentioned the price I was guessing around $3 - 4k. Best of luck to the company.As far a... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Yours is a pretty common story, myself included. Took the plunge into tubes some years back with a Jolida 502brc integrated and was glad I did. Love the tube sound. I was apprehensive at first but nothing to worry about really - piece of cake. ... | |

| Wadia being sold for a third of it's retail LOL, thanks Bill! Missed that somehow. I looked at the dealers listed on their website but no dice there. | |
| Upgrade to Oppo? Thanks soix, it does help. I can always upgrade to a better transport in the future. I am considering streaming also. Perhaps buying a budget DAC/streamer combo just to get started. Honestly, the DAC purchase has been difficult. I'm going to ... | |
| Upgrade to Oppo? Thanks all. Yes, I do like to buy local used whenever possible. Budget about $4 - $500 but a new CD player not a necessity. If the Oppo 95 is not really an upgrade from the Planet then I may just buy it for the living room as mentioned. I am a... | |
