What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
Mapman Color me confused - Not sure how I was blessed to be included in this thread not once but twice (I had never opened/read it prior to getting an email notice) but thanks for the info lol

Flame away. I use them in my system to excellent effect.  One on my preamp and one on my phono stage.  It takes all of 5 seconds to remove them and another 5 seconds to put them back. I have not personally experienced any loss of spaciousness, any... 
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
In my case (2022) it was $1500 for the 4 lines and about the same to upgrade/rebuild the box. I also had him inspect my ground rod. The connection to the box was badly decayed (he showed me that) so the ground was not even connected. This apparent... 
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
My story: I’m not too savy when it comes to electrical knowledge.  In my case, I hired a highly regarded electrician who installed multiple 20 amp dedicated lines to my music room. He did an extensive rebuild/update of my box so everything is up ... 
Thiel Owners
Tom Thiel, thanks for the reply. I wish I could locally find a stock pair the way they were intended to be… My gut was telling me to pass on these as they could be less than a shadow of what they were intended to be but I’ve been watching this par...

  I own a fully restored (by Krell in 2020) KSA 250s paired with a Krell KRC 3 preamp through balanced connections. Would this match well with a pair of CS 3.6? The KSA is rated at 2000 watts into 1 ohm. Here is a link to the particular speakers... 
Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers?
I use Revelation 3’s powered by a Krell KSA-250s paired with a KRC-3 preamp using a balanced connection.  To my ears, a match made in Heaven.  I have no desire to change speakers…or really anything about my system.  
Does a cartridge that has been in storage for an extended period need play time…
The more use I’ve given the Sonata 1 over the past two days, the better its sounded but I still felt it was missing top end air. I swapped my older Allnic H1200 phono preamp (new tubes and fully checked out in October) for the Ray Samuels Nightha...

Thanks, lewm.  I appreciate that info.

“recommended overhang is determind by your tonearm” Thanks, I learn something new everyday.  I have overhang dialed in now and it altered/improved the sound. Thanks again.  
Does a cartridge that has been in storage for an extended period need play time…
Thanks for the replies. I don’t have specific information about previous hours used or storage time - I need to ask better questions. I bought it on a whim second hand from a member here. I spent a good amount of time installing the cartridge and...

I will never be without a 911. EVER. 
what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience?
In my youth, after experimenting with different brands and formulas, I settled on TDK MA cassettes as the best performance to price ratio cassettes for use in my Akai GX F95 deck.  I taped most of my new lp purchases with this combo and always had... 
Opinions Needed: Hales vs. Tannoy
The Hales will remain in my possession in my collection of classic equipment lol
