| Location of compoments. I have never understood the issue of having the equipment rack between the speakers. It is generally placed back of the speaker plane. Stereo imagine after-all is an illusion created by our brain, based on how the vibrations coming from the left ... | |
| WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOUR CHEAPEST SYSTEM VS. MOST EXPENSIVE SYSTEM? About the same difference from my first second hand '65 MGB and a newer Mercedes. They both have 4 wheels but the comparison ends there. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Throw in age 17 to 70, musical tastes, environment and what the hell, ... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers For what it's worth, I have the Rega P8. The dust cover supplied by Rega protects the unit while not in use, and is designed in such a way it can't possibly be used while the TT is in use. I hope Rega knows more about this issue than I do, and w... | |
| Looking for contact info for dealer / reseller Richard Do I don't know your guy, but I usually meet my dealer under a streetlight, near the dark end of the street. Happy New Year. 🥳 | |
| The # 1 Christmas Album At last count I own 53 Christmas CDs. One of my favourites is BB King's CD "A Christmas Celebration of Hope" I don't know that I've heard BB voice sound better. Just a terrific recording. When I want to leave the traditional Christmas fare, I ... | |
| 2024 Form 1099-K IRS tax reporting threshold on PayPal? Are you not being taxed only on profit, or capital gain as it may be called. Has anyone in the history of selling used equipment even made a profit? I fail to understand why the government wants to bother with this. What am I missing? Is Presiden... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis @77jovian 🤣 | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis I've never understood the fascination with Chet's singing. I liken it to Mick playing the guitar, or Paul Simon trying to act. Just stick to what you do best. IMHO. I like to listen to Chet when I just want to relax. I like Miles when I want ... | |

| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? Surely the 10% "rule" was developed by the cable industry. Up there with De Beers convincing the world you should spend one month's income on an engagement ring, if you truly love her. And lately, they've upped that to 3 months salary. The cabl... | |
| Front Row Seat Power Cord? There is only one undeniable truth about Power Cords. That being, there are people who believe their $500 - $5000 power cord has made a difference, and those who don't. Pretty simple and neither side is going to convince the other. What is truly... | |
| Front Row Seat Power Cord? @mihorn It must be a burden, being the only person that knows how to make a good cable. | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @jond You know the old saying around assuming..... Speaking only about my own experience, I too got the bug to move to tube equipment. I wanted to enjoy the better sound. I have owned the TRX-M845 mono blocks from Triode Audio of Japan, and more ... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup I would ask why are you thinking of changing to tubes? | |
| Front Row Seat Power Cord? Just read the review of 27 best power cables. Laughable the $500 Morrow cable reviews pretty much the same as the $5000 cables. I'm sure any marginal sound improvement would be drowned out by the sound of $4500 flying out the window. 🤣 |
