| Scent of an Audio Store My dad owned an audio store and took me with him to work on Saturdays. That smell caught me immediately- then he’d give me an old broken piece of gear to tinker with and I was hooked. That’s when it started. I was ~10, in the 60’s. | |
| Ken Fritz stereo system auction is live... Best wishes, thanks for sharing his story. | |
| What was your first record? Chicago Transit Authority I still have it, still play it. | |
| ROON? Roon was a game changer for me. Prior to it, streaming was laborious, and an “oh, let me try this” option. Now it’s my preferred option, and my cd players are not being used. My cds are digitized on my server, integrated with Qobuz, and I have end... | |

| Von Schweikert Research VR-3... still any good? I had a pair - they were great, but ugly. I don't recall the drivers for sure, but they have a 10" woofer, transmission line, 5" kevlar cone mid (I think), and silk dome tweeters - 1 front firing, and 1 rear firing.

| But is it HiFi? (Crown) I have 4 crown xls amps - one I use in my living room system driving totem Sttaf speakers. I chose it because it’s in a cabinet with only ventilation from the back, and it’s a tight fit thru the door for a large chassis A/B amp. It sounds great, ... | |
| DIY Steampunk Tube Amplifier, feedback please :) I like it! I think it would have some appeal to folk with limited space.. . . And then the question will be economics. With the labor involved, the price would have to be up there. OTOH, it’s a display piece - art. I would pay for that rather tha... | |

| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected I think the totems like to be ~4 feet out from the wall. You can also move them a little closer together as Soix suggested, but I’m not sure if the-in will be good, not that close together. Totem recommends no toe-in. | |
