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... 
ADD-POWR POWR BAR
Would like to see them post a picture of the inside.    
Two questions to make you mad.
@mahgister @donavabdear  With my limited understanding in many fields, I think what we perceive as sound is the result of the change in pressure (vibration) created by the speaker and bouncing through our ear canals and ear drums (simplified expla... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
@2psyop  +1 for Bose.  It rocks! 🤣  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tonighf we listened to Gerry Mulligan Quartet  - Dragonfly on the Telarc Jazz label.  Always great recordings.  Followed that up with Johnny Adams - Walking on a Tightrope.     
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?
Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll.  I have owned both Sopra 2 and the Zens.  Would only buy either speaker used.    
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts
@eaglerockcollectibles  Another vote for Audio Mart.  I have used it in Canada many times with 100% success.  And it's FREE. Did I mention it's FREE? 🤣  Pretty sure there's a US site if that's where you are.  
Room Acoustics
@sidog1460  You may want to watch this video.  It's primarily out building the room itself, but has some excellent information on room treatment as well.  I found it very entertaining and informative.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUcfiaN6CY... 
What was your first record?
When I was 13, ('68) the local corner store had a spinning record rack that held 20 LPs.  I bought the original cast release of HAIR.  It was the album cover that attracted me.  Showed it my mother when I got home and she made me take it back.  I ... 
System advice
+1 for the Hegel.  Used H390 or H590. Have owned them both.  Lovely amps.    
Garage into listening room?
Plug in the numbers and have a look.  Just one tool. https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc?l=20&w=25&h=18&ft=true&r60=0.6      
Corner base trap- to the ceiling?
@ditusa Thanks for posting that Acoustic Fields video.  Makes you wonder what else we spend money on that has no real purpose.  Cheers.  
Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot
@gte357s  I own a balanced transformer from a different manufacturer (Equitech).  In is powered up 24/7 and is cool to the touch always.  I can tell you they specifically say not to put a power conditioner downline of the unit.  My understanding i...
