    Do different turntable brands & models really produce different sound quality?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I don't understand how specific models/brands of turntable could affect sound quality. I understand why needles make a difference, and I understand how some turntables might be more or less durable than others, but do turntables really "interpret" the sound...

    Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "?

    I think it's been a quite controversial topic for years, like what's the difference between normal network switch and an audio grade network switch, the price difference is certainly obvious though... Anyway, I've done some researches, most audio reviewers say that under this " new digital...

    Four devices, 4 places to adjust volume - which to prioritise?

    My set up has four locations at which volume can be adjusted. In theory, which devices should have their outputs used to maximum, and which to the minimum? Not seeking a loud level of sound, there are neighbours, just the best possible sound quality. 1- Sony Bravia television. Tidal...

    Stereo Mojo - Lost & Found

    Friday I was watching a short movie about the Carpenters on PBS, on the modest HT setup in my bedroom, and when they broke off into their fund-raising schtick, I thought “I can do better than this”, and went out into the living room and put on my greatest hits LP of theirs - Carpenters The...

    Technics Stereo Cassette Desk 615 Troubleshoot

    Hey Guys, Thanks for accepting me into the community. I picked up one of these cassette players for pretty cheap on eBay, and it worked for a few months. I just moved, and when I plugged it back in, the left speaker level meter went wild, creating a distinct ringing. I'm new to all this stuff...

    Is there a one-stop site/thread for best quality vinyl pressings?

    I've experienced quite a few bad pressings lately, where I've compared the reissue to an original pressing or at least an earlier one. I've searched all over the web. Stevehoffman forums, Discogs, AK and a few other sites. There's a little bit of scattered info everywhere, but what I'm...

    Fisher 500C Rebuild

    I am amateur trying to rebuild my old (1965) Fisher 500C stereo amp. I have two of them and I used tubes from one to get the other working after many years. The sound is fuzzy and the stereo beacon doesn't light when I tune in stations, which might be in part an antenna thing. But I was...

    "The Digital Age" on LP?

    So I'm struggling to push the "buy now" button when I know for sure the source material was recorded in the digital age, especially in the period between the mid 1990s and early 2010s. I have no real reason for this fear. I haven't done an academic study or anything. Maybe I'm selling short...

    Toshiba reciever sounds "tinny" and small

    Inherited my grandfather's Toshiba SA-735. I cleaned the face and knobs and it looks great! I found two blown output fuses and replaced them. I get sound now but the sound is small like it's playing in a tin can. All of the functions and switches appear to be working properly but the sound isn't...
