| Tone Poet Sinatra in the wee small hours...is it that good? @whart You are so right, one has to be in the mood for some Frank. I actually do think the current TP and the previous Impex release of ’Sing and Dance’ are quite good. However, not something that i would listen to that often. What amuses me is th... | |
| which speaker is better suited for Rock and Roll Congratulations on joining the Guarneri club. To many, the G line are some of the best, maybe the very best, stand mounts you can buy. | |
| Tone Poet Sinatra in the wee small hours...is it that good? I’m beginning to see exactly that. | |
| Questions on KT150 vs KT120 Great advice @decooney I run KT150’s in my mono block amps, which were designed with that tube in mind. The KT150’s sound great, but you have to balance them with the preamp and the driver tubes. They are very sensitive as to what driver work... | |
| Your favorite carbon fiber cleaning brush ...? @danmar123 Unfortunately, due to the tariffs etc., Ursa-Major is no longer shipping to the USA. | |
| Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference HD09 Amp Platform IME some of the best stands available are from Finite Elemente. You will most likely see a very nice uptick in SQ. | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ The question that I don't think has been asked is this...how does the price of $90K equate to this particular product? It does if there are enough folks who don't care about the price of anything and will pay whatever is asked, so long as it is ... | |

| What to do with pre-owned vinyl? @desktopguy I would look at the values of the jazz records. These are typically worth more than classical. A general search on Ebay, Popsike or Discogs will tell you a lot. | |

| The death of ultra hiend audio One problem I feel exists within the high end industry is that the manufacturer's have to potentially supply a very wide world wide market. As such, they get fooled into thinking that because their goods can sell into one market at a highly inflat... | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... TMR seem to offer the seller a fraction of what in many cases the seller could get with some judicious marketing. Sometimes the piece up for sale is not going to be that easy to sell, but not always. I would think that a little market research on ... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? OP, look for a used Esoteric DAC. Preferably one that utilizes the AKM chips. | |
| They should charge more for it… @tony1954 Your banana example is also a text book example of the term…’easy come, easy go.’ | |
| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost The OP brings up an interesting point...is the Basis companies pricing structure for evaluating their turntables exorbitant? To some, it would certainly seem so, maybe to others, not so. The price asked for a lot of the gear in high end audio se... |
