| Amplifier warm up There are a few other possibilities that were not considered:1. Side One of the LP may be your favorite and thus it may have gotten more play and is showing its age compared to Side 2 that is more pristine.2. By the time you had finished your meal... | |
| What's your definition of an audiophile? My wife was preparing dinner while I was sitting in my listening chair spinning Miles Davis. She came in with a cutting board and some garlic and asked if I would chop some for our meal "since I wasn't doing anything." I turned off the turntable,... | |
| Amplifier warm up Boz Scaggs always sounds better on a full stomach. My s.s. Ayre amps have a standby mode in which they are always on but not fully powered until ready to use. They fully warm up (to my ears) in about 15 minutes.Like johnto said, why didn't you jus... | |

When I moved here, I hooked up my stereo system with my Magnum Dynalabs Etude. I could pull in some stations, but none that really interested me, so I got... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? Snake oil. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers There are way to many variables to give you the answer you seek.What are the dimensions of your listening room?Is it dedicated for audio or multi-purposed?What are your listening tastes?What is your upstream equipment?What speaker performance qual... | |
| Now Hear This Yes, definitely a Basis TT. Interesting watching them enjoying the music with no mention of the delivery system or fighting over the sweet spot. But then with those MBLs, the whole room is the sweet spot. | |
