| Member Almarg passed away last night I am very sad to hear of Al's passing. I will miss his always informative posts, and most of all I will miss the way he treated everyone with respect and dignity. Peace be with you. | |
| What the heck did I do 1. Check to see if the little magnet is still there. If it is, make sure it is properly aligned with the sensor.2. You might have bumped or otherwise slightly moved the sensor when you removed your platter. It needs to be very close to the platter. | |
| SET 45 and their (real) required speaker efficiency I just got a pair of 45 mono blocks and am pleasantly surprised with how they compare to my 300b amps. To my ears, my 45 set amps can play subjectively louder than my 300b's with less distortion. I often don't realize how loud the volume is when I... | |

| Cerious Tech Graphene vs Synergistic Foundation SC With Matrix, the soundstage is deeper and wider. Better tone and a better sense of images being properly sized. More effortless. Less smeared. Less attention drawn to the speakers and more of a sense that a performance "woven from one piece of clo... | |
| Cerious Tech Graphene vs Synergistic Foundation SC I preferred the Cerious Graphene Extreme over Synergistic Black. SR Black was in the same price range as the SR Foundation cable that you are considering. Cerious GE has a fuller bodied sound and passes along detail at least as well as the SR Blac... | |
| Reviews on SVS SB/PB 3000, Paradigm's seismic 110 subwoofer I haven't heard the Seismic 100, so I am unable to comment. I chose SVS because they offer a 45 day trial period and free return shipping, and they will give you a 100% trade in allowance if you want to upgrade within one year of purchase. The gen... | |
| Reviews on SVS SB/PB 3000, Paradigm's seismic 110 subwoofer Get two subwoofers if you can swing it. Then use Anthem's room correction and you will have amazing sound. I recently got a pair of SVS SB-2000 subwoofers and after using the room correction feature on my AV receiver, I am very happy with the result. | |
| Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R I used to own both amps. I owned the V12i for a short while - one of my first purchases on Audiogon - and traded it in for a new V12R. What I remember most is the beautiful tone and the surprising low end grunt that both amps helped to deliver . I... | |
| Review of Mojo Audio Mystique V3 DAC When I bought my dac, Ben told me he was planning on an improved version of the Mystique, which if I remember right included upgraded chokes. He said he was not going to offer the upgrades to V3 owners, but he talked about offering a trade-in prog... | |
| Cannot get my Topping D10 + Objective 2 amp working, need help You could also try running the O2 with 9 volt batteries, without the wall wart. If the O2 works well running on batteries, then the problem is with the wall wart. | |
| Laufer Teknik Memory Player and Mini Thank you soulforged. Much appreciated. I will try your suggestion. Roon has been working well for me as far as getting the track numbers correct, but I will re-visit JRiver. I will also compare the audio quality of the two and see if I can tell a... | |
| MORE Esoteric problems tvad -I had the same work done on mine that is being proposed to you, a new laser pick up and two belts. The cost of repair ended up being reasonable, as they did not charge very much for the parts, the time it took to repair was less than the est... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Nice review Grannyring.Tom, I'm glad and somewhat relieved the Truth worked out for you, as you had PM'd me before your purchase and asked for my input. Whew! I also compared the Truth (in stock form) with the CSL. They are both top notch. My am... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? I would make sure that replacement lasers and transports are available. I bought a used Esoteric player last summer and it would not play hybrid sacd’s. Fortunately, I also bought a Square Trade policy. They paid for a new laser mechanism and the ... |
