| Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line. Funny how often the most dishonest are also the most distrusting of others. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? +1 @mesch Considering the limited choice of CDP's and the # of DACS now offered, this is the way to go for digital, unless you stream. Then too I have heard that often the cdp's sound better than streaming. I can tell you from experience that stre... | |

| Low budget vintage preamp or new I’m a bit nervous they’ll hum, that I’ll need to spend a lot of time and money repairing them, and that they probably won’t work so well when I use my system to play movies, which I will certainly do at times. Old (vintage) stereo, like old (v... | |
| Looking for a tube preamp with remote control. If you like the CJ sound, why not wait for a good used one to show up on USAM &/or Agon? As to the passive preamps, I have seen too many people who have tried it go back to a regular active preamp. | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? +1 @russ69 +3 @ holmz Even when new I never cared for Pioneer in the 70's. At 50 yrs old its wore out with dried up capacitors, etc. room full of glass and tile Guaranteed to brighten any sound would a mid-priced tube amp work, +/- $500We no ... | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? read, read, read- and read some more. Whole system bought over the last 15 years now not one thing auditioned anywhere, all reviews and user comments. Few times called and talked to users. Almost always my last step is to call and talk with the... | |
| What is a cost effective way to level match, for comparing different hifi components? You also need to do the test blind Do you REALLY need to be blind to judge equipment? I don't see very well. Is THAT good enough? Or do I need to go blind completely in order to assess the sound characteristics? If so, I think I'd opt for just... | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different extended dialogue with a certain objectivist who continues to insist to me that if two wires measure the same, in a stable acoustic environment, they must sound the same. There is a large faction of todays people who are totally clueless about... | |
| Recommended products for polishing Focal speakers I’d suggest you contact customer service. Normally I’d say an automotive light polishing compound will work. Even then I’d try it in an inconspicuous place to make sure it works alright.Then to maintain, I’d use a very soft brush IE California dus... | |
| My Experience With Tekton @arafiq Also, the recent incident where the Tekton owner acted like a bully threatening legal action against people for exercising their right to express themselves was not a particularly savvy move if you ask me. What happened? I missed it. | |
| Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question The plain fact is that tape deteriorates! Thus the master does NOT have the sound it had 50 yrs ago. Then there is the lost ones. Plus it wasn't "VINTAGE" then so the records only sold for $2.99 - $4.99. Lots of things happen in 50 yrs. More peopl... | |
| My Experience With Tekton A nice review of a noteworthy company & speaker. Thanks. I've never heard Tekton Speakers. I know they get a lot of good reviews. A lot of good reviews often just makes some people mad cause others are having fun with it | |
| Anybody own a component that sounds better with the cover off? My Speakers sound better w/o covers | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. With all due respect, I don't think" serious music listening and AVR' belong in the same sentence. For music I'd choose Rel. But for movie explosions et al I'd try the Rythmic |
