| Speaker positioning and center image depth Just last week I tried moving my speakers (Acoustic Zen Crescendo) out 6 feet from the rear wall, as I have read so ofter that this is an optimal distance. I can't leave them there as the room just doesn't work. Anyway, I was very surprised at t... | |
| Cables recommendation @jasonbourne52 Just in case you missed this offer. I know you'll be all over it. 🤣🤣🤣 https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaaa56-transparent-opus-rca-single-ended-interconnect-pair-1-5m-interconnects | |

| Is it worth using an Anticable level 5 for a PHONO PREAMP? Overkill? Not to be "bashing" cables, but lets's address the OP's question.

| MM, MC, or MI cartridge I don't think this piont has been made yet but there's also the consideration the stylus cannot be replaced on a MC cartridge. Damage the stylus and you're buying a whole new cartridge. I know it's only money..................🤣 | |

| Isn't it really about quality of recording? Great system, lousy recording? You can't polish a turd. Don't care how hard you try. | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? I need head support but get the idea of not having the chair back come up past your shoulders. Does anyone make a chair with a "skinny" headrest? | |
