| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement The distance from the "front" wall behind the speakers and the amount of toe-in are speaker dependent and one should start with the manufacturer's recommendations if any. Canton recommends 12 to 20 inches and no toe-in for my speakers. as well as ... | |
| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations I'm not sure why you're restricting yourself to the '70; but if you could extend to the '80s the Nakamichi TA and SR series Nelson Pass designs are unbeatable and have gorgeous phono sections. | |
| Now, I'm confused. I have plugged this before; but in case you missed it there is a CD that helped me do wonders with speaker positioning. I am in no way affiliated or involved, except as a surprised and happy user. It's the IsoTek Ultimate system Set-up disc. | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! @spoutmozert, have you though about getting together or joining the AK meet? | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! Enjoy that new table! For at least 2 months before you think about changing anything. As you said, it sounds great. Until you know exactly what you wish was different, you won't know which path to take. You may like the Bronze better than the Conc... | |

| Brand new to vinyl: Help! @thyname, DH Labs is a reputable firm; but the Bl-1 is XLR OR RCA; not RCA to XLR. You could call them to see if they have what you want; but I think the savings would go out the window. You are not just looking for RCA to XLR. The cable must be e... | |

| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Can't stand her music; but I kinda like her pictures. ;^) | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! @thyname, I think the first thing that has to be done in order to get meaningful advice is to quantify the problem. How bad is the sound relative to what you are used to? If a LP sounds vastly inferior than a digital representation of the same mas... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music @slaw ,Great call. | |
| What is your listening chair? Mine is a common low back task chair on wheels with no arms that is height adjustable via a pneumatic base. It allows me to move my listening position slightly as may be needed. Unfortunately, the pneumatic base is leaking and I get shorter and sh... | |
| Best sounding Primare integrated amp up to $2000 I love my class D I32! Demo'd Creek and Belles before buying. The Belles was really nice, too; but I need adjustable balance. That's not the only reason I chose the Primare, though. | |
| Balanced cables When I started getting serious about this hobby in the 1980s, one didn't hear too much about cables. (At least I didn't; but then I wasn't looking.)When I returned to the hobby in 2015 I ordered a NAD dedicated CD player. The dealer sold me a pair... | |
