    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    I've never worked with an Aries series III table. I believe one needs to provide isolation for both the plinth and any outboard motor pod. I've done both for my Aries I. Both contributed to significant improvements in sonics. The ability to level each with the other also provides improved...

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    I was initially going to just hit the 'like' for my reply but then paused... I have very little (1 exposure) experience listening to any Alsyvox model. The heard the small Clarisys in 2 rooms at Axpona 2023. I heard each room 3 times over the course of the show. Overall, the speakers were...

    Grounding system Shunyata Altaira vs Synergistic Research vs Nordost

    Rex, having worked with you on my home's power system, my curiosity begs me to ask the following. How far do you get by having a very well executed panel and ground plane fronting your audio system. Because you do have that, can that be the reason you're not hearing a benefit from the Puritan...

    Qualio Audio join the WBF forums!

    Because I may be downsizing and looking at different speakers, I am very interested in a full, detailed accounting of what you changed from standard on the IQ. Also, have you measured in room response? Thanks in advance...

    First High End Turntable

    If the Muncie business hall of fame is claiming the first Muncie HiFi Buys is that shop in Northwest Plaza shown in the picture, then they're wrong. That plaza location was preceded by the location almost directly across Wheeling in a house next to the Long John Silver's.

    First High End Turntable

    Yes, I'm pretty sure the first store was the one in the house on Wheeling in Muncie.

    First High End Turntable

    Yes! The original 'house' store is where I worked. Then, as you wrote, it was moved across Wheeling to that large strip mall and over time sadly morphed into a run of the mill electronics store. The original house HFB was started when Gary and Mike took over the previous audio business in the...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Yes, but comparing these 2 ads and prices, how do you discern if either/both are genuine? I did try to "look carefully" but, perhaps, I don't know the specific details to look for. https://tinyurl.com/2s3a2bc7 and https://tinyurl.com/3hw62fyr

    A non-WBF friend is experiencing an issue of only getting 30 second samples and auto-skipping to the next track when trying to play consecutive tracks from the same album. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Solution?
