your first system-
About 1961. All in one record player, preamp,amp and speaker. I was about 9-10.    
Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions!
 The sound quality ranges from very bad to very good, largely dependent on the record. I have been there  and done that many yrs ago. I came to understand that I had a weak link in the chain. A system is only as good as its weakest link. in you...

The "lower priced tier" HCS-25 speaker cable MSRP – 8690 PLN /2.5m" according to the Positive Feedback review. That is 2192.02 USD. This is 3 times the cost of Audio Envy & The Zavfino. The Hijiri isn’t in the same league as these value base...

OK, Where does one purchase these cable s and how do you find a price?  
I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time
I agree with those who say that PRAT belongs to the musician, However, it also belongs to the source component which is playing that PRAT which the musicians laid down on the recording. I've been an avid listener for 60 yrs and I only came to unde... 
Orientation... Gable roof.... best set up for acoustics on long or short wall?
@montbren  I'm glad I could help. FWIW a 12/12 pitch simply means that for every 12 inches horizontally the roof will rise 12 inches vertically. An 8/12 pitch will rise 8 inches and so on. I would also recommend that you make provisions to get th... 
Orientation... Gable roof.... best set up for acoustics on long or short wall?
OK Nice. The picture helps.. First, the ridge height on a 24 ft run with a 12/12 pitch will be somewhere around 12ft, not 15. But that is of little consequence for the room. However the 3 ft knee wall will come in appx 3 ft on each side so that cu... 
Orientation... Gable roof.... best set up for acoustics on long or short wall?
we are building a house with a large gabled room above the garage to be our music room. The total dimension is 39' long 24' wide and 15' high at the ridge line of the gable. This will leave a listening/music room area of 29'x24' I am a retired... 
Buy Back Old or Move On?
@high-amp   Tubes have always intrigue me but being a Mr. fix-it maintenance, kinda guy, when it comes to music, I just want to sit and listen, not tinker & tube roll. I have no real ability to fix electronics either. But I have had tube... 
I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I...
@ghdprentice  Also that my audio system has always been of far greater value than my car… one of the tests to see if you have the disease.   Many years back there was a thread about the cars that we (a'philes) drive. You fit the bill. Me too    
More news on the Herron Line Stage
Nice. Enjoy. Glad you are back up and running.  
Recording with bass to align my subs with my speakers
@millercarbon is right about different albums over time. I am a musician, DJ and sound engineer. This is where the sound engineer comes in. Play any of your jazz & R&R records at a normal (for you) listening level. What you want to do is a... 
Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please
Imo the MacBook is the weakest link in the system, not the amp.  
It's Great Having So Many Choices (?)
The problem is not too many choices but too many overlapping choices or meaningless choices that just muddy up the water. This has come with the complexity of our technology which we have surrounded ourselves with IMO. The more complex the system ... 
Could You Tell a Tube Integrated from a Solid State Receiver If All Else Were Equal?
+1  @fiesta75  Not a good match up with a tube stereo vs solid state AV amp. Its like comparing a plane to a helicopter. They both fly. Or a jet vs a prop plane? Ever tried crop dusting in a jet? IOW, it depends on the job. In this case, one is m...
