| Led Zeppelin 11 Hahaha it was supposed to say Paultry....freaking spell correction on cell phone. Oh well, I'm sure someone will grab it, I crazily gave it some thought.... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. I’m about as "kooky" as they come, proud of it! Call me what you may, but it’s whatever floats your boat and makes you happy. I will say that I don’t buy things that cost outrageous amounts of money, as for one, I do not have that kind of money, s... | |
| Caveat Emptor I only ever bought a bc-3 bluetooth HD module from them. Received it in correct color, and it was as described and works very well connected to my v90 dac. No problems connecting to it and it sounds great. I think Apos is a pretty good outfit. | |
| A bit too "non-audiophile", but what are your favorite high-end tuners based on Looks? I’m looking at those Magnum dynolab tuners over at audio advisor, the cheapest one , the 90 model, is $1400, ouch. They do look pretty cool. For now I use my plain Jane Cambridge audio t500. I do own a vintage Kenwood kt 4007, with the blue dial a... | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Sonus Faber Lumina speakers look fantastic. May grab a pair of Lumina 1 or 2’s just for the heck of it, not that I need any more speakers. Martin Logan makes some beautiful speakers too. However, I cannot rule out the high end Tannoys, possible so... | |

| DHL and the definiton of insanity And I thought FedEx was bad....ordered my tannoys from the UK to US, took what seemed like forever to receive. Then to boot, i was notified by DHL that I still owed tarrifs and /or taxes. Had to pay them an additional $140. Ordered many things fro... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Not sure why people all seem to want a 10 gauge wire. You only need 12. Also If there is no room for a breaker, use a "piggy back" breaker. It is two breakers sandwiched together that only takes up the space of one breaker. Remove an existing brea... | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? If you were here and let’s say you wanted to hear Miles Davis kind of Blue LP, better give me at least an hour, maybe 2, to locate it lol...records all stored randomly with absolutely no rhyme or reason. There are just too many of them and it woul... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? I don't know, freedom of speech? | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? Get a CD transport and be done...then you can buy a dac to suit your taste. | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects The British make some of the best audio cables, as well as some of the best components. However, they are seldom mentioned here...I personally love and use both Atlas and Chord cables, also Qed. | |
| Upgrade SUT For Denon DL103 I have a much cheaper Jensen mc- 2rr -L, it was designed with the Denon 103 in mind. However, that Auditorium 23 SUT is known to be very nice. |
