| Which EPA-100 bearings? 'Has anyone compared the sound of Si3N4 bearings to the original ruby?" Drag coefficient has a sound? | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers The only ABSOLUTE in cable "break in" threads- Never concensus that "break in" is fact. Cable "break in" does seem more plausible than "directional cable?" | |
| Placing your record on a spinning turntable. "I have a VPI table with Umami Red cart and a felt top." GASP! You must be one of those weight/mat users... bare platter/clamp & washer to flatten LP for my VPI. If you want to play radio DJ, keep spinning. I used to do it with a Rega. The o... | |
| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. "Organic" Subjective, like everything. Tube amp to my ears. Tube everything-preamp,amp and phonostage.Tube FM tuner also, in my case. No particular brand suggestion, there are plenty of integrated options in your price range. Used especially w... | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection "I tried the Hummingguru with the same problem. Same static and pops" Do you have ANY albums that are quiet to eliminate the cartridge/stylus or phonostage being part of the problem? If you do have quiet LP's, then it's back to groove damage.... | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? You're selling something in a very narrow category. That includes an even smaller group of potential buyers. Add to that those buyers are not the audio neurotic with money to burn. They will be Best Buy type looking for something "better" but not... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp 'I was able to eliminate 75% of the sound by forming some aluminum foil around the tube area, so I think I'll be pursuing a cleaner and more complete solution in the future with an actual Faraday cage" That's an interesting find and solution. I ... | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection "I used the Ultra Sonic $6,499.99 Klaudio Cleaner with poor results" No RCM will eliminate prior groove damage. If you can't "test play" a used LP, then it's simply luck of the draw. There are used LP's that can look awful/superficial scuffs bu... | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection Classical is the arguably the best genre to collect used LP's. Typically cared for, less in demand. Depending where you're at, Goodwill and record stores that bother with Classical will have gems for cheap. 50's and early 60's are the peak of t... | |

| Nordost repair "I went el cheapo for my mono block amps with power cords for time being (audience forte f3). But am on a lookout for Tyr 2 or Frey 2 power cords. " audphile1-You arguably get 80% or more of what the Odin pc does with the "sane" pricing of the Bl... | |
| Nordost repair " Just hope they don’t break. Lol" audphile1- I'm not a DIY guy, but will attempt to repair things if it appears not too involved. Since Nordost uses solid core wire, I would think it would be straight forward, as long as you use a proper strip... | |
| Nordost repair "Interesting. And you reached out to them using their web form, correct?" Yes, I reached out thru their "contact us" page. I'll just chalk it to "stuff happens." I guess if I look at the big picture-purchased used private, 1/4 of list, almost 10... | |
| Nordost repair Well after 2 unanswered emails, I give Nordost a big FAIL in the customer response column. Ordered some Neutrik NF2C-B2’s which were the Nordost OEM for this 1st run II version. I bought 2 pair for $54.96 including shipping, which probably saved ... | |
| Where to go next with the turntable ’My advise would be consider the P10 or even the Naia," If the OP likes the Rega philosophy of "just play records", P10 is reasonable. New Naia at double the cost, relative to the rest of the system-not so much. Naia does look interesting, is it... |
