    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    I really liked the look of the ButcherBlock Acoustics racks, but I liked the thicker shelves and finishes on Timber Nation. I ended up calling a friend that has a side business woodworking. He’s building me a custom rack to my specs so I can get the best of both brands. Highly suggest route if...

    I know nothing about these but I would go Dark Star purely on looks.

    Sutherland 20/20 Load and Gain Settings

    In the world of blanket statements, yes. In the similar world of blanket statements, "58 vs 60 isn't that big of a difference"

    Sutherland 20/20 Load and Gain Settings

    I think that's hard to say honestly. The output and impedance are both factors that impact how well the components match the carts. Hana ML: 0.4mv - would probably do better between 60-62db gain. Sumiko Songbird: 0.5mv - probably a slightly better fit with the 20/20 AT Art9xi: 0.5mv - Same as...

    Sutherland 20/20 Load and Gain Settings

    I tried it at a few, but I don’t remember every exact combo honestly. I do remember that going up a step or two in loading didn’t seem to have the same impact as going down to 100. But any way around it I always ended up at 58/200. I played with it every few days for a couple weeks.

    Sutherland 20/20 Load and Gain Settings

    Stumbled on this old thread so I figured I'd share my experiences. Hana ML is my first MC cart, and I wasn't sure if it would be a keeper running straight into my Sutherland 20/20. I tried a few different settings. Various combinations of 58db/64db + 100/200ohms. In the end I felt it sounded...

    Bat/restaurant, I’m staying away from hifi and I’m talking to installers. Unless the place is hosting live music as a main part of the experience, I think the most important part of sound in a dining area is a smooth, even volume in the seating areas. No loud spots. Everyone should be within...

    All Things King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

    I haven’t listened to The Silver Cord in ages, and I definitely haven’t listened to it since my last few gear upgrades, and this album is just bonkers. Really pushing the limit on managed chaos, and you can really pick out each layer of instrumentation. I knew it was quite a bit, but it’s more...
