| Accessing Audiogon securely. @czarivey I use Express VPN and have no issues connecting to Audiogon. Also had no issues using the ProtonMail VPN. | |
| Advent Christmas music ranges from ubiquitous elevator to bespoke. What stirs your senses? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRXG8xoeXXk Joe Satriani playing Silent Night. 7:22 of pure brilliance. IMHO | |
| Steely Dan UHQR @drmuso I was only repeating what was said in the interview with the guy who mastered the original LP. No idea if it's correct. Cheers. | |
| Steely Dan UHQR I listened to the entire interview, and while there was a reference to TT's, I don't believe he was saying they tuned down the quality due to poor quality equipment. He said they didn't go to extremes and produce a groove that was only readable b... | |
| Steely Dan UHQR "He talks about how they had to modify the sound of albums in the past so they would play on crappy turntables" Really? That sounds like a lot of marketing BS to me. We didn't have quality TT and cartridges when Aja was recorded? Color me cyni... | |
| Subwoofer Basics Help @musichead Have a look at the line up from REL. These powered powered subs simply connect to your speaker lugs on your amp or on the speaker terminals. They do not compromise your system in any way. The signal is amplified by the subs. The on... | |

| Optimum speaker support @antigrunge2 With your levitation feet from Alibaba, do you have any problems with your speakers floating around and bumping into things, or do the speaker cables keep them tethered? 🤣 | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i @densen17 Invest a bit of time and build your own? I have built this exact speaker cable (you can see it on my virtual system). They sound as good as any cable I've heard, at a fraction of the cost. Well within your stated budget. https://www... | |
| Female vocals The female vocal chords are able to produce a tonal quality, for the most part, that cannot be replicated by the male vocal chords, and it is generally more pleasing to hear. Opera would be a good example. The male voice is rough on the ear, whe... | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? @calvinj My first "system" was a crystal radio with an ear plug at age 8. 60 years later I've learned a couple things. I've owned a few pieces of equipment. I went 20 years without changing a thing. In the past few years I've put together the... | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room @woots Can you work a skill saw and a drill? Would you consider a DIY project? Have a look at my virtual system. My build shows the few steps required. This unit is SOLID and you can build to your exact requirements. It was satisfying to buil... | |
