| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Your description makes the room sound like a problem. I can surmise you have one wall that is +/- 21 feet long, but not much else. A lot of reflections off walls with paneling. Have a look at this site and see if you can select an area of the ... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Will I be able to hear the benefits of a $50k DAC if my ears are only gold plated, or do they need to be 24k? | |
| Favorite rock/pop male voices Bob Dylan David Bromberg | |
| Bad idea? Make this a DIY project. It's easy and you get a nice sense of accomplishment doing something for yourself? Have a look at all the cable options at a place like https://www.vhaudio.com/search.html?ss360Query=speaker%20cable Cheers. | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors @judsauce Now you hurt my feelings. 😭 | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Neil Young Bob Dylan Ry Cooder David Bromberg Miles Davis Brubeck, Hororwitz, Oscar Peterson........ Off the top of my head, artists I have at least 10 recordings of. Zappa would also make that list but I don't really play him much these da... | |

| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I've always been confused by this whole "listening to your equipment" argument. I'm not listening to my speaker, I'm listening to the music coming out of the speaker. And why wouldn't I want that to sound as good as it possibly can? Would I rat... | |

If you can put the equipment on a palette, most trucking companies have very low insurance costs. I suppose the reason is they rarely have to pay a claim? A pair of amps I shipped recently, ... | |
| Freight Movers? @awooof Most any company when you prepare the speakers like this. $100 in materials and an hour of your time. Cheers. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I would profer the opinion that anyone still reading and contributing to sites like this, has probably not finished buying. Sites like this are enablers. They feed our lust for the next best thing. I've finished my last system and have moved o... | |

| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening Thanks for another opportunity to share this chestnut: | |
| Did I Expect too much? I recently had the owner of a very good audio retail store tell me that a speaker manufacturer will spend $10K to build a speaker. They then wholesale that speaker to the retailer for $20K. 100% mark-up or 50% margin. The retailer then puts the... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? Another fan of Little Village. Had it on the player just last night. To paraphrase Ry, It might run cold for you, but it runs hot for Me. 😁 I have my original LP of Seconds of Pleasure, but also the CD version. I was delighted that they chose... |
