Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity
@dogberry    Congratulations. The Benz LP and then LPS introduced me to the world of higher end MCs. The sound and tone of the LPS is just beautiful and balanced. On my system, it seemed best playback loading was 47k with an Aesthetix Io also on... 
Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity
I was and still am an avid fan of the BM cartridges. Going back a few years, myself, along with a few others shared our stories and experiences on this very forum. I believe many are still enjoying them, have moved on, or experienced life matters.... 
Bad news for home theater enthusiasts
We are all going to become Blu-Ray/DVD hoarders the same way we are hoarding records, LOL.

I’m guess this might be a market for Kaleidoscope or similar competitors. You can download an uncompressed digital copy to a local hard drive. https://www.kaleidescape.com    
A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game
Hi everyone,  I just got a used pair of non-field-version coil T-3.2, I don't have manual, may I know should I connect the speaker cables to 8ohm or 4ohm on amplifier? Currently, I connect to 8ohm but not sure if this is correct. Thank you.  ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@atmasphere , Thank you for the response. That is great to hear that your new amps adequately power the T3s and the T1s. I think these amps would be a good alternative to the either the Novacrons or MA60s I was looking at. The thought of a compac... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Would these amps drive higher impedance loads easily? Let’s say Classic Audio Loudspeakers. I know only a handful of folks to include myself and Atmasphere who own T.1 series of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers. I own the T1.5s. These are often mate... 
Is a home theater even worth it or doable?
I am a 2 channel person as well, but could not build this large dedicated listening room without taking into account family and friend gatherings, especially since not many of them have been exposed or experienced a truly immersive home theater. P... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Anyone using the Cornwall IV's as true LCR home theater speakers? Behind screen or in front. Interested in determining if these would be a good alternative to some other floor standing loudspeakers for home theater.   
Debating between Mcintosh SS or tube monos.
The MC2301 certainly does not lack bass…it’s the amplifier speaker combination which causes the perception that bass might be lacking. I used to drive B&W N800s with an MC2301 with great bass control and authority. The 800s were inefficient (8... 
Voices coming through soundbar after I turn off tv
Do you have a separate audio connection coming from the Xfinity box or other device such as Apple or Amazon TV going to the soundbar directly? This could potentially cause somewhat of a similar symptom as those devices are not turned off unless po...

Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@ram18  “May I check if the Linlais you were referring to as detailed are Linlai Globals with vertical letterings or Linlai E6sn7  with horizontal letterings as @lowrider57  has outlined. As you may have read in this chat, there are different imp... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
“I’m back to my reference uncolored Russian military tubes.”   Same here. After using the Linlai for a few weeks with about 100 plus hours, I am back to using the Russian tubes that were OEM in my phono stage when bought new. The Linlai sounded ...
