| Vinyl Lovers @mijostyn I fully agree with your comment re returns to Amazon. I would say 25% of the vinyl purchased has gone back. However, that speaks to the problems with LP's and to the beauty of Amazon's return policy. I recently bought a Lee Morgan LP... | |
| Really Long XLR @mattmiller Thanks Matt. Signal Cable would be $400 for the pair. At a similar price I am also looking at Gotham Ultra Pro https://www.gothamcable.com/en/gothamcables/madeupleads/xlrmicrophonecable/ultrapro10561 | |
| Really Long XLR Once again, thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions, One thing I do find surprising is the strong support for cables costing $1 - $2 per foot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for a reason to spend more than required, but for the m... | |
| Really Long XLR Thanks all for your information and recommendations. Such a spread, where the Mogami W2534 Neglex Quad cable + Connectors will be +/- $250 (CDN) for the project and Audio Envy O’nestian (Matched Pair) will be +/- $2000 (CND) assuming they will bu... | |
| Vinyl Lovers I always take the path of least resistance and go first to Amazon. If something I am interested in is available on LP or CD, I scan down and look at the production information. You can always see who is doing the issue. It is remastered? Is it... | |
| Shunyata Omega Speaker cable and interconnect $25,000 for a 2.5 meter pair? But wait, they come with little plastic wheel "cable risers" attached. | |
| How long before they jump on this..? Sounds an awful lot like Carbon Fiber ? | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint The beauty of living in the frozen north. A full basement is required and builders have started to make 9 foot ceilings a standard feature. A good trade off for 5 months of winter. 🤣 | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack @muaythai Are you at all handy with a skill saw and drill? If so, build your own. I have found pre build racks are $$$$ and often the shelves are limited to +/- 60 pounds. Not enough to support many mono blocks. If you are interested, I'd be ... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Can't say as I've seen to many high quality pieces that were unattractive. Is it really a thing? | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? @norton Don't hear a lot about Climax Blues Band. Always liked them. Recently picked up a nice box set (Amazon) containing their first 5 recordings. Put out by the Esoteric Recordings label. Going back to 1969 for the first two records, it's v... | |
| Why Do You Listen? A Poll Question I take exception with your first hypothesis. Why would anyone "choose" to listen to bad audio quality? | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? I own many of the LPs suggested and agree they are great records. However, my criteria for 3 must have LPs would need to take into account how they actually sound of a good system. Many of the LPs I grew up loving, get very little play today as ... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? When an OP clearly asks for 3 selections, why do so many insist on posting a much larger number? | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? I don't see it as a difference between audiophiles and non. I see it as a difference between people who feel music is a very important part of their life and the others who don't really think about it. The quality of the system is secondary. Su... |
