| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig Very cool to see so many satisfied audiophiles. Hey you've worked hard and deserve to have this particular pleasure.

| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Look at the Tekton Design models (many to choose from) https://tektondesign.com/ if you don’t mind shipping them back to the manufacturer if you don’t like them. I have the Tekton Double Impact SE and they run great on low power tubes. They... | |
| Room Impact for Your Stereo Sound Room acoustics are important. I think many audiophiles and audio enthusiasts know this. This info is simple things that can be done to help with room acoustics. Having said that...not all of us have the time or money to find a home with a perfect ... | |
| Tube Socket Savers, why? I have a tube preamp and the base of the socket is actually recessed into the chassis or casing. When one places a vacuum tube into the socket it sits down about 1/2 inch. This is fine for operation of the preamp, but if I wanted to try different ... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? As long as people are throwing names in the hat. Vandersteen Quatro CT would be on my short list. Very fine speakers.... | |
| Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale... I think there are Chinese brands that see the money that can be made in the High Fidelity industry and want to sell under the more mainstream brands ie Cary, ARC, McIntosh, and the boutique brands which demand even higher prices. Line Magnetic, Do... | |
| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction Your audio system sounds amazing. I don’t think I had much choice as a young boy. I was fascinated by my grandfather’s vacuum tubes laying around everywhere. Is it any wonder I have an integrated vacuum tube amp with NOS RCA tubes in one audio sys... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? I don't like Magico as a brand. I had heard the speakers don't come with grills and if they are serviced, Magico will not ship them back to the customer. After one pays $75k for speakers... and the company can't foot the bill to ship repaired spea... | |
| Turned back into a music lover Good observation. I had spoke to a non-audiophile friend of mine and he asked me about listening to music on my audio system. I call it my High Fidelity rig. I told him that sometimes when one listens to a song one can hear sounds that would not n... | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig ronboco Are those Rockports? I heard those are amazing speakers. I can't really imagine those speakers to sound anything but stellar! | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig prentice Wow retired and all that you mentioned. That is wonderful. Not quite to the retirement age, but I think my idea of an ideal situation might be very close to yours. Although my wife and I would like to travel around for some months.... if... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present Glad you got the sub you wanted and the sound you wanted. This HIFI and audio game has its ups and downs, but it's really fun when it sounds good. Sometimes it takes a little while, a small adjustment or struggle ... then the plan comes together. | |
| Narrowing down the field (DAC wise) I was in the same boat as you about 1 year ago. I think the Terminator would be a great choice (It gets stellar reviews online). My choice came down to the Ares II and the Schiit Bifrost II since my budget was not really high. I settled on the Bif... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? Just to throw another different stick into the fire.... on youtube Danny at GR Research often takes apart big name speakers to show audiophiles and really anyone else what you get for the money you spend on high dollar speakers. He has done this w... | |
| For you Odyssey Audio Stratos amp owners I tried the Tempest and Candela with that amp. Unfortunately those three pieces of audio gear were the worst I had ever owned... period. I had hum issues from the transformers and that was a common problem with Odyssey audio equipment. Klaus has a... |
