Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable
My amp has a non-working left channel...sent it back to the factory to have a look see and fix.   I looked around the room and noticed the expensive power cord for the amp was lying on the floor not doing anything.  Stupid 82 old me replaced the "... 
Unipivot tone arms
VPI arms are excellent if set up properly.....like all things  Mine isn't truly a unipivot ....I've attached their 2nd pivot....works great   
Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers?
The Ohm A's got me into this hobby......there was not an amplifier that was powerful enough for them in those days  
I am sad
My amp went bad yesterday.....left speaker doesn't work.   It's an Ayre ....weighs in at about 100 lbs.   It cost 1000 dollars for shipping to Ayre and back. Damned it!!  
Furutech 's Project V1 Power Cord.....question.
In my system,  all Ayre with Vandersteen speakers, Cardas sounds slow, and covered.  The newest iterations are better, but not like other brands (Audioquest, etc.) I found.  
Pick it Pro Balanced cartridge? real balanced? any good?
The way I understand it...all cartridges are balanced.   Im using XLR from the cart to my balanced preamp, amp and speakers  
No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables.
I had Purist Colosus .....it sounded too much like tubes.....too colored, but in the right system a great cable  
Turntable Upgrade
I love my VPI ....have a Superscoutmaster/upgraded VPI arm/Super platter, 2nd pivot on arm, Winfield cart. SDS, spikes under feet, peripheral ring / spindle weight.....never had any problem with it....sounds great.  
Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening?
sure...love my earphones  
Hearing Aids
Go to Costco's hearing aid department  
Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver?
When my cartridge sounded wrong, I sent it to Soundsmith for a look see.....he did his magic and all is good.....Ortofon Winfield  
Balanced vs RCA preamps
I use Ayre equipment.....all the components even the phono are balanced  
Frank is gone. AVA lives on!
...and the world turns....nothing stays the same...sad  
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
you will soon tire of new speakers as well...Deadhead  
Technics SL-1200 vs. Scoutmaster
I have a Superscoutmaster with Classic platter, rim drive, dual pivot, etc.   Its hard to get a better table than this
