| How old is too old? IMHO, I would not be buying anything that involves moving parts, that is 10 years old. Not unless refurbishing the equipment is part of the plan. | |
| HiFiaholics Anonomous! Cheaper just to go back to heroin. 🤣 | |
| Concentration For me, the question is, am I actually trying to "get the best experience with your stereo". That is not always the case as often, it is on as background music to take my mind off other mundane tasks I'm performing at the time. But I agree with ... | |
| What's ideal size for a listening room? @emergingsoul I don't where anyone gets their information as to what room dimensions work best, here is a rather long article that explains the theory behind one calculator that shows how any combination of L x W x H of a room will affect your ... | |

| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? So after much discussion, it boils down to the adage "let YOUR ears decide". Funny how many threads arrive at this same truth. Cheers. | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? IMHO, the myth that amps need to be plugged into a wall plug is just that. A myth.

I don't know why this happens, but it not uncommon to find screws on breakers, or the neutral buss that need... | |

| Outlet is "Open Ground" - Is There Still a Safe Way to Connect to My Audio Gear? This may be a silly question, but have you looked inside the outlet box to determine if there is a two wire + ground cable entering the box. Unless your house is very old, it would be surprising not to have a ground wire. Maybe it's there and no... | |

| Best products and process to polish piano black KEF speakers @rayray57 In a previous life, I owned a motorcycle dealership. We were constantly needing to remove scratches from tanks and fenders. This is the only system we used, and it works. I could buff out a deep scratch on a black tank, and you could... | |
| Something to put a smile on your face As a big Ry Cooder fan, I loved this 1977 performance in England. Found on The Old Grey Whistle Test series. Anyone not familiar with that British TV show should look it up on YOUTube. Amazing the artists you will find there. This is just one ... | |
