Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Just fine is not good enough for many of us.

Rconk - its not about the brand - its about the car (says a self described Porschephile- although not a serious one-those guys only drive air cooled). I had an M3 (and other BMWs before that). I loved that car, but when it was time to change, BMW ...

I thought the comedy shows start at 9PM on Saturdays...Nobody has called me too young for anything lately (thanks asvjerry), but I sure would like to see the turntable in a car contraption.Audio in the car is the worst possible noise scenario imag...

No just an audiophile. Everyone if forced to listen to digital in their car, all audiophiles listen to both.DOn't know of anyone crazy trying to play analogue in the car.

Glad to hear Ron helped you out Newtoncr. He is a great guy and by the way answers his own phone and is very generous with his time. Totally down to earth, unpretentious and says he isn't an expert on everything, (but I believe he was one of the f...

I am not as knowledgeable as many of these contributors, but why do you need balanced input and output? Or does if depend on the cartridge? Doesn't the output of the cable from the turntable (cartridge/arm) just have a right and left interconnect? 
Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated...
Forgot to mention - before I got the conditioner, I had a very slight buzz coming from my speakers when nothing was playing and the volume was a little higher than normal. Furman got rid of it - that was my original reason for the purchase. It has...

Furman Elite 15 - multiple sets of banks. I think it lists for $8XX. I got mine used for like $400. Rock solid. Get one used without stratches on it and save yourself some $$. All you need is about a $100-$130 power cord with it and you're in busi...

Check out Sutherland. That’s all he makes. I recently got a modest model and had some questions/needed an upgrade and Ron Sutherland himself helped me. Doesn’t care where his box has been purchased -he will support it. I think his models go from $...
