    Albums You Always Listen To Front To Back?

    All of them, it’s a discipline I started in college. Too bad I didn’t have that Discipline in my classes.

    RIP - Heartfelt thanks to Paul Chambers of Goodwin's High End!

    I also met Paul at Goodwins while traveling on business. I dropped in to Goodwins to check them out. While admiring a shiney phono preamp he offered to ship it to my house for an audition! No questions asked....what a gentleman he was and a tribute to the audio industry. I have always been...

    Large speaker improvements

    Have you tried your speakers without spikes sitting directly on your wooden floor? I have never been a fan of spikes, especially on wooden floors.

    Best preamp for the money

    I haven't - I hear you about the next level. I am so happy with my system and room I haven't changed anything in quite a while. And I have always tinkered with this or that, swap in a cable, move the speakers, etc...nothing in many months. A DHT 300b pre sounds interesting. Your ET3 SE is...

    Best preamp for the money

    I've never heard an Allnic line stage. My best guess is they are similar in tone and detail. The CJ employs Teflon caps which is a departure from older CJ models. In my system it delivers a detailed, transparent, presentation with good dynamics - similar characteristics of my Allnic phono...

    Best preamp for the money

    I haven't heard the ET7 but own the ET5. It is excellent and the best preamp I have owned. Also use an Allnic H3000. These 2 units compliment each other making for a great front end. As Ketchum mentioned Allnic seems to be very easy on tubes. I retubed mine after 5 or so years at a modest...

    Visit to Marc C.'s (SpiritOfMusic's) House in England

    Marc, Wonderful you are getting reaquainted with some great music. I’ve done much the same. I store my vinyl alphabetically and have started a system of listening in order. I started with the A’s and 200 lps later have reached the D’s. It made me realize how much great music I have not...

    This Corona Virus Mania is Just Too Much, We All Need to Chill!

    It’s easy to find fault with leadership and difficult to join because you can’t see around the corner. Unfortunately most succumb to the latter.

    Cartridge Suggestion

    I ended up with a Ortofon Cadenza Black and I must say it is excellent. It betters my former reference Transfiguration Proteus....a nice surprise!

    Stylus Wear, Stylus Life

    Me too, my ortofon jubilee has 1500 hours on it and sounds better than ever. Makes me wonder if my old ears have turned to brass.

    You forgot Daryl continues to screw up big time. Do love the show although it has gotten wackier each season.

    Let's see if my A90 can be repaired

    Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel better about my Ortofon Jubilee which has approximately 1200 hours and sounds better than ever. On another note my Transfiguation Protues bit it after 500 hours due to coil failure. Very bummed after such a short lifespan.... My next cartridge will likely be...

    Cartridge Suggestion

    Thanks guys, have not heard the Etsuro line before, looks interesting! I hope they are more stable than Transfiguration, part of the reason I am considering the cartridges I listed.

    Cartridge Suggestion

    Thanks for the feedback. That is my understanding of the Windfeld, might be a little warm for my tastes and system. Even though I use Thiels which have the reputation of being hot they aren’t in my room. I enjoyed the Proteus and all the detail and textures. I also listen to mostly classic...

    Cartridge Suggestion

    Please give me some suggestions to help my research and decide on a cartridge. For reference, I was using a Transfiguration Protues until a recent problem diagnosed as a “coil malfunction” after 500 hours unfortunately. Currently using my backup Ortofon Jubilee, love it but it is sitting at...
