The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear

The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
My take…Depends on the gear, an appropriate setting and personal expectations. Above all it’s your ears and not the buffoon that listens out of his wallet. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard negative Vintage assumptions because your equipment ... 
Im going to regret my cable question
@squared80  Bingo…we have a winner ! Cheers   
How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
Definitely visit PS audio their Aspen FR5 is in another league. The design and engineering involved puts most to shame Sonus faber included. With the stand mounts your room limitations will be nonexistent.    Cheers   
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
One of the many reasons my vintage Garrard TT and system components aren’t on display collecting dust anymore, there comes a time said the CD player to the cassette and R/R players…..lol  Cheers

Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada

Such BS for the supposedly educated elderly. Perhaps marketing thinks many are lonely, ignored, and have little more than hobbies to pass their time away. So nail them with Unsubstantiated incredibly expensive BS.   
Best Exercise To Improve Capability Of Handling Heavy Amps
My amps are 136 pounds each, planned placement then had two heavy hitters put them exactly where I wanted, no sweat 👍   
Has anyone tried these SnugPlugs?
Sounds like another 1/2 way gimmick, God knows audio has enough of them. Take the hospital grade advice.. will still give you full contact, +solving the jiggle problem. Don’t worry about any of the burn in BS or high dollar supposedly audio specif... 
No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables.
Good to hear the cable industry might be running out of swanky new and improved BS with a few moving on.., back to reality boys 😈  
How often do you upgrade turntable ?
Never… streaming and remotes the way to go!   
Things we cannot be bothered by anymore
@dbyni   Should I add listening to blowhards claiming perfected hearing after 40 odd years in an opera house and or types boasting of disposable cash. Of course their speakers to tweaks are the prettiest and best that with which they’ll push onto... 
Furutech PC's?
I DIY all speaker and power cable to shielded, sized, perfection. Fuses and other rabbit hole idea's I don’t waste my time. When I see words like nano I quit reading !
