| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? Quote by Charles Schulz “ I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.” | |
| SME tonearm rewire - holy cow Sent my V to SME England for the overhaul last year. Same result, holy cow! Also,there was a great tweak by Roy Gregory of Hi-Fi plus magazine back in 2005 I believe for all the SME arms with the bridge, remove it, only cosmetic, just links the tw... | |
| Speaker Audition Have a look at the GR Research-Line Force with Servo Subs. Some DYI but not impractical. Line source and line array, efficient cutting edge. I believe without servos,12K. I’m drooling. | |
| Opinions!! Could try OB’s. PureAudioProject Quintets, Trios, Jump in at any size. Upgradable without loss of investment, efficient, Just ask VPI, Whammerdyne, and more that use them to demo their own products. Says a lot. Once heard, not easily forgotten. | |
| Opening Record Store One additional point. The fact that the owner is already soliciting away the value, the good will, I would offer even less of as that is what he is attempting to sell you. Some States permit non compete clauses in the contract, and a contract, you... | |

| Good to remember ... how to tell what sounds better @MC”I was lucky and broke out of this mold early on. Took my little stack of CDs with me, started listening to a McCormack DNA1, knew I found my amp when I noticed my list of audio tics was the last thing on my mind, I was just enjoying the music.... | |
| One year down, two to go. What's the longest you have saved for one component? I’m humbled, OP has tanks and major artillery and we are playing with BB guns. No doubt, without health and especially faith, all else is frivolous. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Tice clock. Vpi magic brick. Seriously, As smandlej above, Michell Gyrodec Full Plinth, SME V arm, remove the bridge, full Gert Pedersen mod takes it to another level. | |
| Negotiate good price +1 Tomic, too quick old, too slow smart! | |

| which speaker to buy want loud, buy efficient. Also try Zu. They can play the neighborhood. |
