| Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio Yes I’ve dealt with them and been to their location in Chicopee, MA. They dealt with me fairly including a return within 30 days because I didn’t like the equipment. They have a couple of showrooms. You can schedule time and the equipment you w... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Upgrading or as I like to call it tweaking my system is a fun part of this hobby for me. I’m set with my system in that it’s the best sounding system I’ve had. I enjoy listening to my music for hours which is the best part of the hobby. I have ... | |
| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? I found that not every piece of equipment I tried went well with my system and made it sound better as I’ve upgraded from a combination system to separate components over time. Suggest working with a local dealer(s) depending on what’s available ... | |
| Looking for a new DAC Great system. I have and love that Rotel CD player. 2 suggestions. 1. Streamer. Check out Innuos. They have several models depending on your budget. I have the Zen MK3 and it improved the sound of my system. 2. Holo Audio May DAC. Comes ... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion I tried the same B&Ws with the matching stands. Beautiful and well made but too bright for me too. After trying several different brands I went with Revel M126Be with beryllium tweeters. Smooth top end. Not harsh at all. Good mid bass and... | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. Many of us have been there. Now that you are back in the saddle I hope you’re spinning Rocks. One of Aerosmith’s best albums and a great song. | |

| Ever heard Rockpile? I just had a flashback to college where I was introduced to Rockpile. Good thing I was sitting down. Great band and album. Love Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. I saw Nick Lowe open for Elvis Costello last year. He sounded great after all these years. | |
| Is this a new trend? I think the trend is towards smaller and more compact components for most buyers. The number of buyers that want floorstanders in their main living space is low due to the significant other approval needed in my experience. It happened to me when ... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Please share the name of the company and the speakers. It would be helpful for prospective buyers to know. Quality parts throughout is one of the reasons I bought Arendal and Revel speakers. My subs have some lower quality parts but I expected ... | |
| How to find local audiophiles Like others I have met guys (no surprise we’re all guys) buying and selling used equipment. I’ve connected with a few local guys online and have had offers to listen to their systems but I haven’t taken them up on their offers yet. I’m fine conn... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Yes if you can. A direct hit can fry almost everything plugged in but not always in my experience. One time it did. Another time it didn’t. Lightning is an unpredictable phenomenon. Better safe than sorry. | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... It’s first the quality of the recording in my experience. Garbage in, garbage out. Then the speakers and then the source - streamer or CD into the DAC. Then preamp, amp and finally cables. The room is a wild card. I have a system that travels betw... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies and Songs for Groovy Children. Getting ready for the Experience Hendrix concert tonight. |
