| Review: Schiit Mani phono pre AND Swagman Labs Linear Power Supply (LPS) Received and running a new Mani for a week now. I have two tables, one of them dedicated for MM and MI carts: Technics SL1200GR. The second table is for MC; VPI Aries 2 with a Lyra Delos. Main phono stage is a Manley Steelhead RC that I’ve had for... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana I thought the loudness wars were finally over (heavy brick wall dynamic range compression in mastering) but apparently not quite yet. I don't recall who said it first but I agree with the assertion that, to paraphrase, "there can be no loud if the... | |
| Sound and vibration control Perhaps the improvement in the bass opened up the midrange by reducing phase cancellations. I too added these feet to my two SVS SB2000 subs and the improvement in clarity of the bass was noticeable. | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp Also recently purchased a Schiit Mani. Great phono stage that will give a run at preamps in the under $1000 range. Tremendous spacial dynamics and frequency response. Very anti-fatiguing. A gem. Synergistic with Nagaoka cartridges. | |
| All Kit are Band-Aids Now I finally understand what the "gon" in Audiogon represents. | |
| How is 'stereo' created by just one single stylus? Try this one for animations:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2h-v26ylIU | |

| Looking for an excellent Subwoofer match for Celestion SL600 Speakers! SVS | |
| Questions about stock Technics 1200GR OEM Phono cable I replaced my 1200GR cable with a Blue Jeans LC-1 cable at 12.2 pF/ft capacitance. Low capacitance is what you want for a phono cable. They sound great and I don't have to use a ground wire. | |
| All Kit are Band-Aids This BS about chakras and 432 Hz is a bunch of baloney. A = 440 Hz is standard or concert pitch for many countries. Historically, A has ranged from 415 Hz up to 445 Hz or higher, depending on the era the music was composed. It's all relative and h... | |
| VPI Prime and Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star Nice system! Yes, Soundsmith and VPI are a good match! | |
| What's the deal with all the spam lately? We're all under a lot of stress and anxiety from politics and world tensions these days. For some, perhaps it's a way to let off some steam. I just try to see it as "family;" sometimes you love 'em, sometimes you can't stand 'em. Just try to hold ... | |
| BEST fullrange speaker drivers in existence, 4"-10" diameter range, and...Go! And, are you asking for off the shelf drivers you can purchase separately from a finished speaker system? | |
| Looking for new speakers I listened extensively to the big Triton 1s at a friend’s house over a long weekend visit as he was considering making a change because he felt that after owning them for a couple of years, "they aren’t a musical as I want." That same weekend he a... |
