Whats on your turntable tonight?
Glad you're liking the phonomena uber!Thin Lizzy Jailbreak is playing through mine.  
Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge?
The Concept is a really nice table and should sound great with the Hana SL.  I don't break things down to the day like you have to justify the additional expense.  Instead I remind myself of the times when I've bought something "affordable" only t...

Listening to the 50th Anniversary Edition of Let It Bleed by the Rolling Stones on Qobuz and it sounds fantastic so far! 
Klipsch speaker choices
The RF series are good for home theater and occasional two channel listening.  The RF7s and RF83 will play loud and will rock, but there are much better speakers out there for not much more.  If you want speakers that will play loud and be more la...

The Doors - The Soft Parade 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition - Qobuz Hi-Res.  This is really cool, some of the alternate versions are great.Jeff Lynne's ELO - From Out of Nowhere - Qobuz Hi-Res 
What are the best bang for the buck on higher end headphones?
One of the cool things about headphones for me is that it's like having a bunch of different sounding speakers that do different things well.  When I want to hear a lot of detail, I get out the HD800.  When I want to hear some bass and midrange, I... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
I have been listening to Klipsch for over 30 years and they just arent my cup of tea. But you keep listening to them?  I don't get it.I do get that the Klipsch sound is not for everyone and have no interest in trying to convince someone that t...

What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
There's a bit of hyperbole in both of the previous quoted statements.  Klipsch speakers are abundant and there are a number of sources for upgrade parts.  My KLF-30 speakers were a lot easier to listen to after I replaced the original tweeters wit...

Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
I have a small system in my computer room which is about the same size as your room.  My computer desk is right up against the front wall, so I'm very near field.  I have the speakers in the front corners of the room, about 1 foot from the wall an... 
Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene
Duke,I have 4 different systems set up throughout my house.  My main system has 4 subs in it (plus a HSU mid-bass module I engage for movies).  The other systems all have one sealed sub each.  I'm in a good situation where my girlfriend and I both... 
Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene
Congratulations Duke!  I think it's well deserved, and whether it's "unique" or not, who cares.  You brought something to market that's affordable and from all accounts, works great.  I've yet to hear of one person that said "yeah, I tried it but ...
