| Replacing surround with sound bar My living room [where the big TV is] is terrible for acoustics of any kind. I gave up on surround sound and went to a Klipsch soundbar and sub. Not exactly audiophile quality, but sure can play loud if needed. | |
| Sansui? One of my friends came home from the Army with a Sansui integrated amp in 1974 along with a pair of Bose 901's. Neither of us were what we would audiophiles then. But they filled whatever room they were in, mostly Foghat, Led Zep. Who, Pink Floy... | |
| surface noise reduction @lewm, I will try tweeking around with the Project phonostage. I thought maybe an elliptical stylus would help. | |
| surface noise reduction @ghdprentice, I have a mid-level Thorens TT. I am unsure what model it is. | |
| rocket 88 I once used some speakers, one a couple feet from the amp and the other was 8 feet away. From bulk cable, I cut a 5 foot length to wire the closest one, and a longer one for the other [to keep excess wire from the floor]. Didn't seem to bother t... | |
| Vinyl record storage in Harvey's office, Suits TV show It's all eye candy. He never plays anything. I like Donna, too. | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. Most of you guys are right-money spent has nothing to do with it. It's all in your head.

| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel I have a large collection of CD's. Hardly any new cars have a CD player in them. Bummer for me. You can have Sirius radio or have a player added on [in the trunk, usually]. Or play jump drives [USB]. | |
| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression Right, and it does not matter if they tout 180gm vinyl. Mostly, if it is a lower than say $30 it will sound like crap. IMHP. | |
| I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down. @zappas 8-track had to sound better than cassettes because they were BIGGER, right? So said meeself at age 17. | |
| Time of Day for best Sound Night time is the right time, especially for FM radio. | |
| Best set-up under $20K I use the H360 and i am keeping it. With a room that big, I would agree that the JBL's will fill that room and then some. But you should go listen to them first. Nobo dy here can guess what sounds the best to you. | |
| Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88. Simple explanation. It's magic! electricity goes in-music comes out! Lots of people will tell you that tubes are magic. | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Sheesh, everyone knows this is a matter of preference. We are all lucky enough to listen to what we want. Just like classical or jazz or whatever. | |
| Being alone with your music I am sure that most of us are introverts to some extent. Once realized, it's easy to like being alone without being lonely. |
