Help with new home
+1 elevick. Been there done that. New location advised, no bad memories allowed at 65. Windows, inserts by Larson or Indowindow will help. Bass issues and neighbors, mass loaded vinyl , 2 layers of 5/8 sheetrock, relatively inexpensive, green glue... 
On the long wall or short wall- Speaker set-up
To all, perfect advice, thank you. My intention was to allow the architect to design a couple of windows and the electrician to place the dedicated circuits in advance. I have to go before the town board for a variance that I will most assuredly r... 
Pure Audio Project Quintet
Also breaking in Quintet 15’s, Voxativ 1.6’s with Leonidas XO. With the Pass PAP C1, I imagine the best one to ask is Ze’ev.

Turntable Advice?

How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?
Is this like a one legged man trying to win an ass kicking contest? 
Black Ash.....
For those inclined, you can use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Chalk Paint Wax Clear finish on cabinets that you may want to hold onto for awhile. I have some older Monitor audio RS6’s with yellow oak finish that I really don’t care for and really cl...
