What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
I own the SVS SB2000 Pro. It sits upon my homemade bungee trapeze which isolates the sub from floor. While waiting for delivery,  I didn't have much hope, To my surprise, the blending with my Klipsch Lasalas is wonderful. I had all but given up on... 
CD player suggestions...
Big shout out for Audiolab 6000CDT. I've wasted tons of $$ on 6 CD players ending at Yamaha S2000 which uses their state of the art transport. This beauty broke down again after a year back from the shop. In desperation I bought Audiolab 6000 CDT ... 
Looking for Focal Stella amplifier suggestions
I run Focal Elears. In an A - B shoot out between these and the electrostatic (or something like that tech) Hi-Fi Man HE 400i, the victor was clear. Being conscious of volume adjusting prior to evaluations, the Focal was MUCH better in everyway. (... 
Why not horns?
I wonder how many "horny" readers are sitting back wondering what our naysayers would think if they sat in our sweet spot? If my ears are being tricked into thinking my Klipsch Lascalas are clean, mean, music machines when actually they are distor... 
Compatibility between speakers and sub.
After spending a pile of cash trying various subs, the SVS SB2000 Pro was finally able to fit in with my room and Klipsch Lascalas. I thought I had given up on a sub ever being able to blend in. They have an app that you can use to tailor the freq... 
Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital?
Tough call. To get streaming properly where the quality won't frustrate you. is fairly pricey, (At least that was my experience) Each format transition was for convenience, 8-tracks played endlessly. Auto-reverse cassettes kept dance going. LP in ... 
Intermittent low hum/buzz
HUM X does help but for my system it was renamed HUM-(minus) because while there was a perceptible diminishing of hum it wasn't gone, The improvement was well worth the $50 bucks I paid. For what its worth a solid clay brick on top of the transfor... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
Crazy as it was, my first serious upgrade was to buy a pair of new Klipsch Lascalas II. Immediately they were hooked up to an inferior system. Cambridge receiver, cheap CD player, stock cabling. As the last few years have passed I've replaced each... 
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
Mad Scientist Contact Liquid (AFTER 48 HOURS) On the paper work included with the Graphene Contact Enhancer it states that immediately upon application one will benefit about 80%. They suggest more enhancement will occur after 24 to 48 hours. This... 
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
Good question! Since "Mad" paperwork says a thin coat is best, I pulled out the brush in the bottle (after shaking well) and wiped off as much as possible back into the bottle, then I applied a dot of the black goop on one spot of the connection t... 
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
Happy days when my next tweek arrives! Earlier today I received the bottle of Mad Scientist super goop. (Or whatever they call it) As I was applying this black liquid taking care to not over apply, I was inwardly cursing myself for falling for mor... 
What was the most impactful addition to your system?
After years of searching and buying over and over, I hate to wear this out but....the Raven Nighthawk opened my ears to the possibilities of really going into the music in a way I'd never imagined short of the mega systems we've all experienced at... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
My vote for Klipsch Lascalas (with sub) due to three things: 1) The sound stage feels big and correct 2) Volume can easily replicate actual live musical venues with relatively inexpensive amplifier push 3) Reproduction is quick and transparent alt... 
Why Do You Post?
Actually, if I'm honest, many times I've read a comment here which got me thinking about better ways to enhance the kit without spending a ton of money. (Notwithstanding, nothing makes a better stereo than a better stereo) However, for example, my... 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
A couple come to mind besides many of the afore mentioned. Top recording quality on CD.  Vienna Teng comes across profoundly engaging on the only one unique album of hers: 'Dreaming Through the Noise '(turn off lights, relax), Anne Lennox with cat...
