Question Regarding New Item Damaged in Shipping
A new item which is damaged should be replaced by the seller working through the mfg. They should also provide return shipping because this was NOT your fault. You contracted for a new item at an agreed price. You should never have to pay more for... 
Just a share
Nice. Lots of memories there and apparently free. I wonder how much an audiophile would pay for it If it were bound as a nice coffee table book? Thanks for posting this, Now  bookmarked for future reference  
Any Improvement Possible for B&O-Hsu-Paradigm-Apple System?
I agree that the room has a lot of hard surfaces which cause mid range glare and screechy highs. However streaming from the I pad leaves a lot of room for improvement. The room issues can be dealt with by strategically  moving the system  so it do... 
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
One of the best in the field hasn’t been mentioned. Nor are they in The R&R Hall of fame despite their selling out Shay stadium faster than the Beatles. Led Zeppelin refused to play after they opened. That band Grand Funk Railroad BTW, I like... 
When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.
@stuartk  I have no problem with what other's like to listen. For me, it just doesn't move me. I've never really cared for female vocals but I tried to see what it might do over a good system. Again, it just doesn't move me.I like some jazz IE Da... 
I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day
@immatthewj  I too have an attached garage. I also have a covered  front porch. I can't tell you how many times the UPS guy has left a package in front of the garage. I suppose it saves the 30 steps or so. One time I was expecting a tablet and ha...

Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally?
I’ve played records as long as most any one here and I don’t believe the warpage is the reason Not to store horizontal. I believe @billzame may be right about the bottom records becoming damaged. I’ve sorted through and bought many records that we... 
When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.
Even if you are a true music lover (many aren't) your musical taste buds must be trained just as your taste buds for food must be trained. The first time I heard Led Zeppelin in '69, I didn't care for it. But it touched something to the point that... 
Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines
Unfortunately there is no crawlspace, between my room and the ground floor,  and no attic as there are vaulted ceilings with spray foam insulation. FWIW my system is also in a room with cathedral ceiling. Yet I still have an attic in which I ca...

Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers
Watkins Gen 4 I am not related but have known & bought from them  for 40 yrs and live 2-3 miles from where they are made. They are honest & dependable. If I were in the market for bookshelves, they would be on my short list. They demo the... 
Conrad Johnson GAT preamp - ugly?
There are things to look at and thing to be heard. I like to look at landscapes & pretty women, not necessarily in that order. I like to listen to music, thunderstorms and a soothing voice. I'd also love to look at gold...a full safe of GOLD!!...
