I am coming up in 3 years with my Soundsmith Aida. It is a wonderful phono cartridge. However, I am experiencing something unusual. My daughter gave me James Taylors “One Man Band” record for my birthday. I opened it up and put it on and there is some very noticeable distortion throughout the...

I have one in my room to try out. A friend bought 2 and found that one was sufficient. I had a lot of treatment in the room for a small room. Probably way too much. I removed everything but the corner traps at the ceiling. I have tried the Aperture in a few different spots and found what...

Don’t know how many Tommy fans are here but this is great.

Ok, so up until now, my digital usage has been fairly limited. I am still primarily an Analog Man. I had a Sonos connect and a CD player. I subscribe to Tidal which I use mostly in my car through my phone. I subcribed to Roon which I like. It is resident in my Mac and I can choose music from...

:over: Been down a different rabbit hole for a while. Bought a new piece of gear so I figured it was time to circle back around.

I have really been enjoying these Infinity's a lot for a few months now. I was a bit concerned about the polydome's though as they had turned white. Stories abound of the polydome mids just going to pieces. I followed an old thread over on AK about restoring them with Meguires vinyl and...

My neighbor gave me this Echo Dot. I finally figured it out and got it connected to my Sonos Connect. I just tell it what I want to hear and it plays it. Cool!

I picked up a used Japanese pressing of Kenny Burrell and Grover Washington Jr. "Togethering" today. It had the "Last" sticker on the cover and I was curious. Looked it over and it appeared clean so I put it on without cleaning it on the Okki Nokki. This record is the quietest record I have...

The past few months, I have not been checking craigslist, audiogon, us audio mart, ebay daily for gear. I'm not sure whats wrong. To make things worst, I actually have some excess gear for sale on craigslist. Should I see a doctor?

I have taken a liking to my old PL-50 again of late. A bit of nostalgia I suppose. A week or so ago, I was taking my daily stroll through Ebay when this popped up A full accessory kit for a PL-50. It includes transport bolts, an unused headshell, 45 adapter, screw driver, unused oil...

Rich, Have you ever opened up the motor on one of these old pioneers? Mine has a slight buzz and from what I have read, the motor bushings can be cleaned which will quiet them down. I dont want to break it but if its an easy process, I am game. Thanks.

I am not a student of classical music. That being said, I have a great admiration and appreciation of classical pieces and those who perform it. In my gathering of wayward records, I acquired a few classical pieces. All of which I know nothing. Please forgive my ignorance but if you would...

Say hello to Wesley.

Have any of you ever listened to this group. They are a jazz quartet out of Sweden. Very nice combo. They are on Tidal. I haven't found any of there physical medium available in the US as of yet. Highly recommend.

Just curious. Do any of you have insurance policies specifically for your record collection or equipment? My agent thinks I am covered well for the gear but suggested a specialty policy for the record collection and guitars. If you have one, who is the company? Thanks.

I finished mounting and setting up the TP-16 on the Thorens last night in preparation to put it up for sale. I really don't need it with the Sota in the system. I mounted a cheap AT cart on it just to be able to demo it. I put a record on to test it and it just had a sweet sound to it. Then...
