| Is Budget Audiophile an oxymoron? It’s really impossible to determine exactly what is causing your particular dissatisfaction with your system, but in my experience, stands play a significant role in the sound of stand-mount speakers. To me, the Kallax cabinets appear fairly flims... | |
| Record Sleves The Sleeve City ultimate sleeves are cut a little tighter than MoFi and fit into the jackets a little better. If a MoFi is too big for the jacket, assuming you are using a plastic outer sleeve, you can just put the record behind the record jacket ... | |
| AC power cables that are not rigid? The Audio Note copper cables are reasonably flexible. | |
| Help - Cable for High End System - M7s and Block Audio Mono A Personally, if the system is brand new, I would buy a pair of 10 gauge Belden cables from Blue Jeans and let the system break in for a few months before buying expensive cables. Otherwise, you’re just buying something to suit how the system sounds... | |
| seeking recommendations for melodic , ear pleasing, and musical sounding LP's? Soundtrack from Inside Llewelyn Davis. Great movie too. | |
| Harbeth SHL5 Plus XD UPGRADE What is the rest of your system? I’ve owned several Harbeth models and it’s hard to beat the SHL 5’s in that price range if you are still looking for “British” sound. I’ve owned Trenner and Friedl, chartwells and Audio Notes, but I honestly can’t... | |
| Dealing with Vibration on 2d Floor of Home If your floors are that bad, a wall shelf may be the only reasonably-priced answer. Assuming you can find one to fit. My Linn was horrible with footfalls, but a wall shelf cured it completely. I would have preferred to keep my TT on the rack, but... | |
| Inexperienced Seller Question TMR may work out well if you trade in against something they sell. I sold them my Audience AR6T and they gave me a very fair price towards an Isotek. You will take a big hit on a consignment, but it is worry free. If the buyer returns it, it’s the... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback @spatialking glad you like it. As I said before, a lot of audiophiles hate putting any products on the records, but GG definitely cures the static issue. On the first play, your stylus will remove the excess product, but it is just soft fluff yo... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback Just don’t confuse Gruv Glide with Groove Lube, which is a very different product. | |
| A Charlie Brown Christmas 24/192 Qobuz One of my audiophile friends just gifted me this album on vinyl. Very nice music. | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback Gruv Glide totally eliminates static. Some people are against putting coatings on records, which I an understand, but I will say that Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds have sold it for years and I am not aware of any instances of it harming records... | |
| Hegel Viking sound @knorpi - try placing a Vibrapod under each foot. I used them under an Oppo 205 and the sound became significantly more rich and less dry. Inexpensive and worth a try. You probably have some laying around. | |
| Weight/strain relief I used some Velcro ties when I had Purist cables and they worked well, but I think it depends on your setup. I used the ties to support the cables reaching up to my amp by tying part of the cable to the rack legs, taking some weight off the bindin... | |
| Boron vs aluminum for cantilever on DL301 Mk2 retip? I have had cartridges serviced by VAS and Soundsmith and, in both cases, they recommended leaving the boron cantilever and retipping only. This may have been due to the boron cantilever, but my point is to go with the retipper’s recommendation. Th... |
