| CD shelving unit from Modern Shelving 😭 My IKEA Gnedby units have followed me through several house moves. Still have about 1500 CD's sitting in them today. My advice would be to make this a DIY project. A custom CD storage unit would be very easy to build and need only be 6" deep. ... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget The golden ratio for equipment $$$ allocation is as fallible as the golden ratio in room measurements. IMHO. I would agree with you that the biggest return on investment will be Speakers, Preamp, Amp and acoustic treatment. | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? " I found the imaging in the room was a lot better and sound improved" You have answered your own question. Trust your own ears. | |
| Building a dedicated listening room @randypeck I am also about to start building a dedicated listening room. After a lot of reading I've moved away from the Golden Ratio measurements. You may find this room calculator interesting: https://www.acoustic.ua/forms/rr.en.html Here is... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? @mofojo Whenever I've been the seller of speakers, they have always left my home like this. Overkill? $100 and a couple hours of my time. Only happy buyers at the other end. 😁 | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? @zlone I have purchased used speakers in the past and have had no problems. Acoustic Zen Crescendo MK ll, and a set of Focal Sopra 2 were the last two sets. Not cheap speakers. In both cases, using email and video calls, I was able to get a goo... | |
| Indispensable Tool! And that's why I love this site. The "I've never tried it but you're a fool for thinking it could work" crowd. You only champion the tweeks you believe in? Big money PC anyone? 🤣 | |
| The subwoofer site we don't talk about enough Thanks Erik. interesting site. I just read the lengthy review of the Rythmik Audio FV25HP. Made me realise just how much I don't know about a lot of things. 🤣 | |
| What to do with a large collection @rvpiano Private message me. I could be interested in a discussion about buying your CD collection. Despite what others say, I don't stream and love my CD collection. Always looking to expand it. And classical is lacking in my current collec... | |
| RCA Victor records' quality You say the LPs are in great shape. I assume you mean they look good on the surface. I've purchased many LPs that are 50+ years old and looked like they had never been played. Only to find they sounded terrible, Even after Ultra Sonic cleaning... | |
| Denver used market? @grahamk Sorry for your loss. As for dealers in the Denver area, I would think your best bet is to simply call a few. Any that are not interested may be able to steer you to someone who is. Then you may want to consult HiFi Shark web site for... | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? In Canada we also celebrate Boxing Day. I'm thinking of buying myself a set of speaker cables. I don't really need them but it's such a good deal. A brand new member to Audiogon has just put up for sale, a pair of Nordost Valhalla ll reference ... | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Gave myself the gift of friends for Christmas dinner. About to start the prep for a huge seafood Paella in my brand new 18/10 SS 16 inch pan. That's stainless steel not solid state. 🤣 Best of the season to all. | |
| Robert Plant +1 for Raising Sand. IMHO it's some of Plant's best vocal work. As for Zep, I tend to go back to Zep lll more than the others. | |
| No sneering Please @bigkidz I don't know any reviewers. I'm not in the industry. I'm just a retired guy who loves music. I didn't mean any offence when I questioned your statement. I just don't get all the negative comments about reviews. Call me naive, but I ... |
