| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I've always been confused by this whole "listening to your equipment" argument. I'm not listening to my speaker, I'm listening to the music coming out of the speaker. And why wouldn't I want that to sound as good as it possibly can? Would I rat... | |
| how can I insure a shipment for more than $10,000 I have found using the Mail to insure, has been $$$$. If you can put the equipment on a palette, most trucking companies have very low insurance costs. I suppose the reason is they rarely have to pay a claim? A pair of amps I shipped recently, ... | |
| Freight Movers? @awooof Most any company when you prepare the speakers like this. $100 in materials and an hour of your time. Cheers. | |

| Did I Expect too much? I recently had the owner of a very good audio retail store tell me that a speaker manufacturer will spend $10K to build a speaker. They then wholesale that speaker to the retailer for $20K. 100% mark-up or 50% margin. The retailer then puts the... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? Another fan of Little Village. Had it on the player just last night. To paraphrase Ry, It might run cold for you, but it runs hot for Me. 😁 I have my original LP of Seconds of Pleasure, but also the CD version. I was delighted that they chose... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? As an aside to your question, I would encourage everyone to read the fine print in their home insurance policy, as to any limits that may be imposed in the event of a major loss. My own policy protects my system to the full value of the policy. ... | |

| Speakers sound too bright. @rwalsh07 Aside from the speakers, have a look at this site for assessing the room itself. There seems to be some real issues you could address around the room size itself. If it's true the room is 50% of the sound, your 30 x 30 room is not he... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? You will find members split on this question. Many believing power cables add to the sound and soundstage, while others will say it's all confirmation bias and PCs do nothing but move current from point A to B. Only your personal experience matt... |
