| ls FM radio even listenable any more? Unlistenable because of content or quality? If stations broadcast and stream, listen to what’s preferred. My Magnum Dynalab sounds great, nothing like vinyl or great digital, but the personalities of the DJ’s and the presentation is entertaining a... | |
| Tubes? +1 MC, wrong loudspeakers. As I went up the efficiency ladder, I went from clipping high powered SS amps on Mirage M1’s to barely cracking 5 watts on OB’s at 96 dB, 1watt, savoring the colors and hues over the wind blowing in my face. | |
| Cable droop For years I have used “cable stackers”, dirt cheap from your local electrical supplier. These are easily suspended with monofilament fishing leader (doesn’t stretch to the degree of regular mono) from the wall, rack or anything available. Also par... | |

Some say source powered battery takes the cable equation down in importance. Yeti has been out for awhile. I believe with... | |
| Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension? Mass loading a target vw1 turntable shelf with marble also works fine. Occasionally can find used if necessary. You asked for best so this may not be appropriate. | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? Recording quality aside, I like to stir the emotions to demo also. Joni Mitchell Both Sides Now, SongLena Horne Yesterday When I Was Young, Broadway AlbumHarry Belafonte, Live at Carnegie Hall LP | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience While in NJ, see if you can also audition PureAudioProject at VPI Industries in Cliffwood. They love them. Open baffle could be a game changer from the boxes. Have fun. | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I have listened to Spatial at LInear Tube Audio, and PAP at shows. Both share many similar characteristics. As mentioned, min distance from wall behind baffle. Clear defined bass and great sound staging. Generally speaking, the room needs much les... |
