| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair The Monitor Audios I have heard are very good, especially with the ribbon tweeters. I would also look into whichever Golden Ear speakers fit your budget.My main speakers are in your price range - Ohm Walsh 2000s ($2800/pr). Although they do thriv... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records @geoffkait - Okay, you've made your point. For the record, I included links both critical and supportive or playingwet LPs. I choose not to go the wet route. YMMV, as they say. | |

| Reducing Background Noise On Records @geoffkait - playing records wet is dangerous, according to Mike Fremer. The intense pressure at the stylus/record surface point of contact creates heat. If wet, the liquid will become steam and vaporize from this heat, potentially damaging the ... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records Once you have tried all the passive adjustments, tweaks, mats, VTA fine tuning, etc., if you still want to reduce noise, you can start with filters and signal processors like you have done, but they will affect the sound in ways you might not want... | |
| Recommendations for music network player @koestner Some retailer of the SOtM should offer a package that includes everything needed. For us tech-illiterates, the thought of having to put all this together ourselves is intimidating. I mean, what if we get it wrong? | |
| Recommendations for music network player woodsart - Thanks for posting. BTW, I have heard your amp and it is one of my favorites. | |

| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? In my limited experience, Kimber 4PR offer a good value for the price. I have been using them since 2001 (first on Vandersteen 1Cs, now on Ohm Walsh 2000s). But I cannot really compare them since it has been so long since I tried anything else. I ... | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about Delite - CD "World Clique" - sounds come from all over the room, even adjacent to one ear or the other, if your system is up to it.+1 on Porcupine Tree, especially "In Absentia". | |

| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @twoleftears - Yup, good luck with that. This is the reason, when I did some speaker shopping eight years ago, I crossed both Silverline and Shanhinian off my list. How do sell direct only with NO return option? I guess your best bet is to see... | |
| Audiogon needs a new category Yes!!! Music Servers and Streaming, perhaps. Hey! 2002 just called, and it wants its Forum categories back! | |
| North Bergen County, NJ Many of the New Jersey Audio Society meetings are in northern NJ, although some are held in central and southern NJ. I am a club officer, so I am biased, but I have found this to be a very friendly, unpretentious group of music lovers and audioph... | |
| No preamp 'Balance' control? @wolf_garcia - Well, IMHO, there is more to it than that. When you move your seat, it changes more than just the relative loudness of the speakers. Each position in the room will have its own room response, so if you have dialed your system in f... |
