| 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. | |

| What's a Good Way to Buy Music Collections? Picture someone who just bought a new car and found out they do not put CD players in them anymore [true dat]. But you can stick a thumb drive into the USB socket and play that. | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint And most newer homes have gas fireplaces, not woodburners. I am all for a separate listening room. Most of our guests do not appreciate HI-FI anyway. | |
| How serious are you? I killed off most of my serious brain cells in the 70's. But if I lived close to any high-end stereo shops I might be thinking....... |
