| No love for Legacy Audio I'm actually surprised that so many 'gonrs are exclaiming that these speakers are SO BIG! The best speakers I have heard are almost always quite large. This includes many types. Maybe its a psychological bent that bigger is better, but I don't b... | |
| Sometimes you have to change you I have experienced this many times over the years. It usually centers around pace rather than tonality, timbre etc. My remedy is to set the volume at zero and then put a 78 on my 1917 Victrola and crank it and listen to a few minutes (one side).... | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? 4.....Main system in music room. HT in living room. Garage system. System in pantry for kitchen and library which feeds B&W in-ceiling speakers in both those rooms (you would probably be surprised how good it sounds, I am). Regards, barts | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever Bought a Tesla Power Wall and solar panels to use as a dedicated source for my record cleaner. Hardest part was to find an inverter that was worthy of that super clean sunshine uh uh I mean DC. Regards, barts | |
| Audio Research Ref 75 SE: Replace 20A IEC inlet with 15A An often overlooked reason to have what appears to be an "over-kill" component where a lesser one would suffice is that its just easier to stock one item rather than two. The 20 amp will certainly work in place of the 15 amp. I am not familiar w... | |
| Good cost effective USB cables for digital audio please At the moment I'm using a no name cable from Nucleus+ to DAC so this thread is timely for me. Can someone answer the question of optimum length? Or please post the lengths that you are currently using. Thanks. Regards, barts | |

| Cassette decks. How good can it get? @wolfie62 @wolfie62 Wow that's a once in a life-time gambit! Good for you. Fortunately, my darling wife is a music fan and has "golden ears".... no really. So, I get some grief if I purchase some crap. I don't buy crap. It's a private joke... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? @wolfie62 That's about 10 times as many dbx discs as I had, gave them to a friend a while back. I remember one was "HEART" and another was DeBussy...yes they did sound phenomenal! Regards, barts | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? Back in the day I had a cassette machine, kinda crappy really, but it looked nice and I would record songs from FM radio instead of buying the album. Then I got my first Teac rtr and that was the end of the cassette almost. Bought a dbx compande... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Probably the best and most functional watch I've ever owned was a "Casio - Moon Phase" back-lit LED, I think that was the name. Cost was $12.95. Never had to replace the battery. I would use the stopwatch function to race myself to work every... | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion I also failed to mention that the noise floor in my listening room is 18db. Honestly can't imagine hearing leaf blowers. Regards, barts | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion Let it play the next track as well, they lead into each other. You're welcome. Regards, barts | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion I listen to music at just about every level as I'm a believer that all music has a proper level which goes beyond anyone's taste in volume. A small amount of that is dictated by the recording itself as opposed to the actual music. Try blasting S... | |
| Best Remote for Roon Nucleus+ Thanks you guys. @carlsbad What type of laptop...Windows? |
