| 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... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? As an aside to your question, I would encourage everyone to read the fine print in their home insurance policy, as to any limits that may be imposed in the event of a major loss. My own policy protects my system to the full value of the policy. ... | |

| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? On that note, I still laugh at the post that said "my greatest fear in life is that someday I will die, and my wife will sell my system for what I told her I paid for it". It's just a hobby. We all need to step back sometimes and remember that.... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. @rwalsh07 Aside from the speakers, have a look at this site for assessing the room itself. There seems to be some real issues you could address around the room size itself. If it's true the room is 50% of the sound, your 30 x 30 room is not he... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? You will find members split on this question. Many believing power cables add to the sound and soundstage, while others will say it's all confirmation bias and PCs do nothing but move current from point A to B. Only your personal experience matt... | |
| Shipping costs- WTF When shipping, weight is a factor, but the size of the box is more problematic. There's only so much volume in a truck and many things can't be stacked. Shipping went through the roof during Covid and like many other things, has never come back ... | |

| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. @inna Here's another question along the same vein. Many members participate a lot, and yet, have not added their virtual system. Why Not? | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? Why don't they just produce an Audiophile grade White Noise LP? I can listen to my system and fix my tinnitus at the same time. 🤣 |
