| Equipment Location at First Reflection Point Probably not good especially if you play vinyl. May cause feedback through the cartridge. | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets One thing that I am curious about is if upgraded power cables will eliminate the issue of my lights dimming when listening at reasonable high volume. No. I’m 98% sure it will not. That is due to things taking place in the circuit. You may try a... | |

| Sub Decision I agree with @erik_squires. Integration is the key. And this is what Rel in known for. I used one Rel Storm 3 for years before upgrading to 2 S5's. The big consideration is to get the ones with enough power & size to fill the room. this was th... | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system Origin Live recommend a budget of 30% on turntable 30% on tonearm 30% on phone preamp 10% on cartridge I agree with that assessment.

| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? Thanks @stereo5 . It's good to hear that the break in is easy to live with. | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... @erik_squires Nice speakers. I m surprised that they supposedly go lower than the Watkins Gen 4 which I have heard. Watkins is the same man who developed the Watkins dual drive bass. The Gen 4's go down to 41hz. I heard them with no sub and I b... | |

| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable My $$$ would go for a VPI. I have had 2 different ScoutMasters and was well pleased with them.

| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? @stereo5 Previously, I had expensive $1K+ cables. The Canare are much better, not even a comparison. Thank you. I have some $1K+ speaker cables as well and have considered a DIY speaker cable. You have just answered the question I have been a... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? The 800 lb elephant in the room is the political facts that are part of the answer to the original question. Govt regulations ,Printing $$$, inflation, etc etc. The alarming thing IMO is that 25-30% of the people do NOT see the things that are go... | |
