| Please Recommend Cable Between Innuos Zen Mk 3 and Merason Frerot DAC I’ve got the Triode Wire Labs USB cable connecting my Innuos to my Border Patrol DAC and I’m thrilled. Triode Pete will make you anything you want and not break the bank. | |
| I want to upgrade my Turntable to something heavier With all due respect to the esteemed members of this forum and their previous recommendations, I’ll throw out the SOTA line of turntables. They did a demo at one of the audio shows (Cap Audio, I believe), where they placed their turntable on top o... | |

| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? An unknown band named Tesla opened for David Lee Roth. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings played before the Tedeschi Trucks Band on the Wheels of Soul tour 2015. They were an established band, but I had never seen them. And a kid I had never heard o... | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? That’s fantastic! You guys have some cool stuff! Over the years, I’ve acquired a few artist signed things, mostly from being at their show and seeing or meeting them afterwards. A signed CD from Mark Wood, CD signed by Amy Helm, a couple of albu... | |
| What should I look for when purchasing a quality album? I would encourage you to create an account in Discogs (free), and even use it to catalogue the albums you have. Most albums have multiple releases, and sorting through all the releases to find the one you have is an educational experience. I learn... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I still go to live shows, but I’m far more picky about who I go see than I used to be. I have to really want to see them. And I try to make an event out of it. If the show is in a new city, I’ll make a weekend of it and check out the area. As a ... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Man, these are great! I have to mention Edgar Winter from the live Roadwork album, Tobacco Road. | |
| Help with hiss @2psyop Thanks for sharing. I’m really sorry to hear of your experience. Mine has been the complete opposite. I’m sure there’s stories of great successes and not so great in every manufacturer’s history. I’m glad you found your resolve and are bac... | |
| Help with hiss @campoly Similar story. These monos started life as Stratos and later upgraded to Kismet status. I think. I brought them to Klaus and said “do something”. He did. They sound great. @boxcarman Thank you for that. I do have a couple of pieces I co... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? @chester_bunger Sure! I have the NIOSH SLM app on my iPhone and iPad. I’m sure they make one for Android. I think it works well. | |
| Help with hiss @tee_dee I may have to spend the rest of my life figuring this out! It can’t stay like this! @wturkey Thanks! I may have one left over when I had to chase a ground loop hum in my (home theater) subwoofer. @panzrwagn Thank you so much for this! V... | |
| Help with hiss @ditusa Hi Mike, The Loki does have a wall wart. I’ll unplug it to see if that helps. I have several components that use wall wart style power supplies. I’ll check them all while I’m at it. I had thought of the bias issue. I’ve read several discu... | |
| Help with hiss @audiojan Thank you so much for that! I do what I can to route the cables that way. It’s quite a mess back there without a lot of room to spread things out like they should be. I am cognizant of it, though. I will also do as you suggest and discon... | |
| Help with hiss @erik_squires Oh, I did not take it that way at all!🙏🏻 I think I was trying to address the very real issue of shielded vs. unshielded. I’m not sure which of the cables are which, but it will be very easy to get that information. I’m afraid my Bric... |
