| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! A run of 12 awg (yellow romex), an audioquest nrg edison receptacle, 1 20 amp breaker, this is all you need to do. It’s what I’ve done (installed myself) and did not break the bank. Plugged into the audioquest receptacle is an audioquest Niagara 1... | |
| Streamers made in America? Grace Digital is based in California. Whether or not the products are actually made here, another story. Their phone number is American based, and at least if you call, someone that speaks English answers the phone. I have been using their digital... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Herb Reichert's review of the wharfedale diamond 225's is right on! I bought them soon after reading his review. I listen mainly to my Tannoys now, but still own the 225's. For a speaker costing a mere $449, they embarrass some costing much more. ... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Art Dudley appeared to not use much if any acoustic treatment in his home listening environment. Look at some of his videos, where he has those large Altecs in a room with no treatment I could see. | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! @mikekuller yes, Herb's room is certainly not something to write home about, but he has the gift of critical listening. His reviews are outstanding, always an enjoyable read. He and the late Art Dudley are/were my favorite writers. | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @dill yes, i opened it up and had a look, appears same, but i mean they all do...it was new. Does not appear damaged, but i cannot be certain without first mounting/aligning it and listening etc, which I don’t have time for. It does not appear as ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers Well, he sent it back, it arrived at my door today. Not sure what to do about it now. Wait and see If ebay deducts money from my account or send it right back, try and re-sell as used, or throw it in trash? He is still not getting a refund if I ca... | |
| Low level listening I highly recommend the Tannoy Legacy Eaton stand mount speakers. They sound great at low volumes. The 10" driver and wide baffle could have something to do with it, who knows. I typically don't listen very loud, so these speakers have been the rig... | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO Most stuff on pandora sounds just fine to me. Maybe I’m going deaf....I honestly think that CD quality is good enough, as in a cd transport to a good dac. To pursue beyond that provides not much an improvement if any to my ears. I tend not to dwel... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers This guy is very crafty....he left me positive feedback, yet does not say anything positive. He ends his feedback indicating that he sent the item back. He somehow thinks that because he did not leave negative feedback, that this will influence me... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? I’d say it is more the speaker than the Amp. I’m running only 30 watts of class A power into the Tannoys... (Sugden A21se signature)plenty of power! They are honestly the best speakers I’ve heard at low volumes...still sound full and I do not feel... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I beg to differ, I'm older and listening to more varieties of music than I ever have! Well except rap..... | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? Imaging did not mean much to the late Art Dudley. There is a video where he speaks with Herb Reichert about imaging. | |

| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE I own both a Marantz hdcd1 used as transport, as well as the Cyrus cdt. They both sound great, so it's a toss up between the two. I bought them for their relatively small foot print. I got rid of the audiolab...it just did not do it for me. |
