    Another Craigslist scam

    Most of us are familiar with the guy that posts nationally, usually it’s a Marantz or Pioneer that’s worth big bucks and he’s selling them for $200-$300. This one seems a bit different, possibly the same guy though. I messaged him assuming it was a typo and got the whole “oh I’m in Michigan but...

    Dumb panloc question

    Hello all, I recently got a nice L52 slant leg for my 2205. Last night I got my workout in by getting it in the cabinet, everything went together nicely. When I went to pick it up it slid out of the cabinet a few inches. Luckily I caught it and no damage was done. Are they supposed to actually...

    For Christmas this year I got my wife and myself tickets to Highwater Music Festival and an AirBNB for the weekend starting tonight.

    Conrad Johnson PV8

    I recently found one of these pretty close to me and have always wanted to try a CJ preamp. Curious if anyone with experience knows of problems or what to look for? Think a service is in order if it hasn’t had one? Tube preference? Any knowledge you can pass along is appreciated.

    Audio related Christmas gifts

    Anybody get anything good, audio related for Christmas? My family generally stays away from gear because they know how picky I am, but usually get a couple of nice records. This year was no exception with an autographed Woods Brothers and Tone Poet of Scofield/ Methany. How about you guys?

    Attention record collectors/experts

    Before I ask my question, a disclaimer: I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A SUPER RARE/VALUABLE RECORD, just looking for info. I bought this Beastie Boys Paul’s Boutique years ago from a local shop. At the time I already had a copy but bought it because it looked really unusual to me. At the time I...

    MC50 monoblocks gain question

    Seems simple enough, I’m probably overthinking this. I have a pair of MC50’s and just curious how you guys would set the gain. I’m running them through an MX115 and have been told to set them at about 2 o’clock and forget it. Is there a method to making sure they’re set the same? Eyeballing...

    2nd and Charles, is this even legal?

    So I hit the one near me about once a month. Most times I leave empty handed and shaking my head at the prices. Weird thing is when I go to one out of town the prices seem pretty reasonable. Today I had a few minutes between customers and ran in. In the glass case was Nirvana Nevermind...

    Best $2000 or less phono preamp

    After trying a couple different phono stages I’m ready to purchase what I hope to be my last phono preamp. I currently have a Jolida JD9 with all the upgrades but it’s not as quite as I’d like although otherwise sounds fine. I’d like to stay at or under $2000 if possible and I’m open to new or...

    The RCM vs Ultrasonic challenge

    Ok so here is my thought process. I own and love my VPI HW-17 RCM. I have always felt like it does a great job and never really had a complaint. However, I’ve been reading the Ultrasonic threads and I’m starting to think I could get them cleaner using that method. So, who wants to take the...
