| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? I have 300 or so records of the 78 rpm variety. I enjoy listening to them when I'm in the mood. A great juxtaposition to the main rig. Especially when I run across a track in 78 that I have on CD. | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB For anyone who has the vinyl all you have to do is look at the grooves where the cannons go off, it looks like a good 60 degree angle.

Also meet Daryl Wilson and his mother. Very nice people indeed. That was in the Wilson room or more correctly in the adjoining ro... | |

| Favorite obsolete formats..... You guys beat me to the punch with Elcaset. I do remember listening to a really fabulous system (1980ish?) that had an Elcaset, it was actually excellent for the time. If memory serves it ran at double cassette speed, which would have been 3.25 i... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Mozartfan, I would like to know what Mozart tracks you are using as your critical listening criteria or any tracks for that matter. Just wondering how you are arriving at this enlightened conclusion. This sounds to me to me like "No I couldn't ... | |

| This forum is antiquated. +1 Audioguy85It would be nice to have a reply button on each post. I'm sure some of you guys can afford to sit on this site for hours at a time. Usually I'm a day or two late to the game, so if I see a post I would like to reply to then just hit... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Kingbr,You have plenty of good advice so it really just circles back to your decision. Are you going to keep this amp forever? If yes, then I would want to know how long will Simaudio keep this model "active".You said you have waited 20 years to... | |
