    Hey, it’s me again. Just started to get back on the hunt for a receiver/and or amp. I’m very new to turntables and I’m just looking for something to help give quality sound. I normally listen to rock so I do like good bass, but my system will be set up in my small room, haha. I don’t mind if...

    New Stylus - Ortofon FF 15 XE MK II vs. Audio-Technica AT-110E

    I just got a Pioneer PL-5 on Facebook marketplace as a secondary system. (Yes, I can see the problem beginning....) It mostly keeps speed ok (and I'm not yet ready to dig into the disassembly required to clean the speed sensor and pots). However, it sounds *significantly* scratchier than my...

    TC Sounds LMS5400 with vintage Acoustic Research AR-9's?

    Hi there... I just recently started upgrading my system and could use a bit of advice. I lucked out and snagged a pair of Vintage AR-9s at an auction for $100 bucks and decided that if I have good speakers I better have a good setup all around. I'm in the process of re-foaming them since they...

    Vintage sealed cab bookshelfs - what should I keep an eye out for?

    Looking to upgrade or add to my modest home setup. Running a 2.1 setup with my EPI100s (which I love) and a sub from my Yamaha TSR7850 receiver.

    I've owned the RX-202 for about a year but it had problems from the time I bought it.

Also it had this really annoying quirk when it got near the end of...
