| How many of you are digital only systems? 100% digital here, streaming and CD. Had that funny feeling in my gut about a year ago and started to look into a "good" analog rig. Figured it would be about $10-12k all in. Not including vinyl costs. Then I used some very bad language and de... | |
| Measuring VTF with electronic gauge.... Elliott, I still have my Shure balance bar and a little kit of "Last" and the full Zerostat set in a walnut base with lid! Oh and a very old Audio Technica record weight. But, no TT......Regards,barts | |

| Need opinions on ceiling reflections @milpai Very nice system and room. I am all about symmetry, so in that vein I would equalize the soffit such that it is centered. Yes it looks like that would double its width. But unless you always listen with eyes closed that visual imbalance... | |

| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? My paternal grandfather had a floor model Victrola.https://www.harpgallery.com/shop/item30713.htmlI wanted it in the worst way and asked him about it. He told me if my father didn't it would be mine someday. He passed when I was 10 and I figured... | |

I absolutely loathe intrusive noise of any kind.Particularly phones which are banned from new and former listening rooms.

| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? mahgister,I read your posts and think that you make many good points. Your decibel scale is way off! First off there is no such thing as zero decibel and obviously no one has "heard" zero decibels. Even the quietest room in the world is not "zer... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? I'm in the process of building the music room, lowest level on one side of a split-level on concrete but mostly above ground. Reframed with 6" wood wall studs then sprayed with open-cell spray foam (all surfaces).Then SAFB and finally Quiet Rock.... | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? You state that you have an opportunity to build another system.Is this to replace one that you have been using? Is it a secondary system in a different location?Regards,barts | |
| How much reality do you really need? rvpiano, excellent question...I'll turn the question on its head: How much reality do you want to escape from? Seems to me we are all in the "Disneyland" business of escapism. If you're not then you're listening to the equipment (reality) rathe... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. I never got into The Band, I also enjoy threads like this one so I listened to the two albums and came away with the same feelings I had back in '68. Ambivalence, which in this case turns into work to listen.I'm happy for all the people that are ... | |
| Lack of Female Representation +1 mijostynHe nails it. I believe that the technology around us is evolving exponentially faster than we as a species are. My Victrola is just over 100 years old, its an amazing little piece that many people enjoyed at the time. The only commo... |
