| The Needle Clinic Andy Kim I also run the modified Denon and used him a couple times for fixing cartridges. The Denon sounds great and when he provides recommendations he knows what he is talking about. | |
| Aurender N200 users or past users Had N10 before and now N200. N10 sounds more analog = less detail /rounded = good N200 = more detail / sharper = better 200 is better for my tastes, both USB and Coax sound good. Cable makes a bigger difference vs which input is used. | |
| How Much Have You Spent On Cables Throughout The Years. I'm Shocked When I Checked. @devinplombier I didn’t want to make it a class issue, but it becomes a disposable income issue or value for money discussion every time. Some people take an aggressive position to argue against something they can’t hear or don’t believe in. The... | |
| How Much Have You Spent On Cables Throughout The Years. I'm Shocked When I Checked. A lot and it was worth every penny considering the impact you get from good cables. Problem seems to be that some people cannot afford it and seem to take an aggressive position that others shouldn’t buy it either because they decided it’s all... | |

Porsche Panamera $110k Nice luxury speaker like Wilson, Magico, Marten also $100k Input cost vs price charged the Porsche wins obviously.

| Most Paid for Vinyl LP About $50 for the Mofi 45s Diré Straits. Hard to justify more at a $/listen basis and I am not a collector, but buy music to listen to it. | |
| Aurender Conductor 5 (V5) App V5 works fine. No issues so far. | |
| My Final Listening Room in Words and Pictures Awesome project and execution. Congratulations. | |
| Power cables of your choice, and why? If only you knew what you are missing that the $80 cord will never provide. | |
| Soundsmith Relocating I had the same story. 9 months wait. Was told Peter was out of town. Only he can apparently work on certain cartridges. Turnaround at Needleclinic was 48 hours. | |
| tube rolling Herron Audio Phono Preamp VTPH-2A I tried others, Sovtek, Mullards etc. nothing sounded better than the EHs. I read before that Keith voiced it specifically with the EHs and have not found a report that someone liked it better with other tubes. The Ray’s have generally good feedba... | |
| Power cables of your choice, and why? AQ Dragon, because they sound great against anything out there. Snake River Audio - because they sound great at not crazy high prices and mix well with the Dragons. I don’t like brands that constantly update their models to devalue the previo... | |
| Interconnects/Cables of your choice, and why? I like silver. Audioquest Wel speaker and interconnects. Zenwave D4 interconnects and Coax Power AQ Dragons and SRA Signature Ethernet Amazon essentials |
