| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. I have 3 adult children. I gave two of them vintage rigs consisting of Marantz, Klipsch, and Bluesound streamer. The other a Sansui receiver , Klipsch Heresy’s and a Schiit DAC. The third has a full Sonos surround, so I bought her an automatic TT.... | |
| Battle of the affordables Are certain speakers in your price range omitted on purpose. I see the SVS but not the MoFi 888’s, or Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. And of course at the risk of getting stoned by the crowd, Tekton. I was looking in the sub $5K range and wanted a big spea... | |
| Footers under new speakers @pindac , Yes , that’s exactly where I’m at. A few days back I placed a 10 lb dumbbell on top of each speaker. I spent the next two days moving the weight around while listening. I also have purpose made stainless steel round 4 lb weights that loo... | |
| Happy Father’s Day Ha Ha, Happy Father’s Day to you. An audiophiles worst nightmare is when he dies and his wife sells his gear based on what he told her it cost. BTW mine was new Tektons and a Rootbeer float. | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight® 10 Twinax and AQ Diamond @audphile1 @ghdprentice , May I ask a side question please ? This is regarding Ethernet cables. Are the sound characteristics similar in your systems that you experienced with Ethernet cables the same as the similar brand USB cable ? I’ve played... | |
| Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase? My daughter who does not collect Vinyl asked for an original Beatles Sgt. Pepper album because it was a marketing first. I was able to find an early edition mono copy for her. It was discussed in her marketing class at FSU. A couple notables for m... | |
| Why so many AQ Hurricane PC's for sale? @audphile1 , +1, Yes sir, no system , no market feedback, no posts started. It’s a wicked existence in the peanut gallery. As a financially limited mid-Fi guy even I have found an improvement in a power cable upgrade. Now truth be known for me it ... | |
| Footers under new speakers @ronboco , I think the Tektons have quite a bit of cabinet resonance based on what I’ve experienced this past week as a new owner. The other thing is I went low cost on a speaker and at $3200 for the DI’s and $1600 for the Townsends that’s a ridic... | |
| Footers under new speakers @ronboco , I understand what you are saying and I’m just trying to step out of old thinking. When I had these speakers on the carpet without anything underneath I was surprised by the SQ. Now on spikes I have increased cabinet resonance and put 10... | |
| Footers under new speakers @rodzilla47 Thanks for the link, that was interesting. I’ve seen him before on other clips and I appreciate how objective he is. | |
| Footers under new speakers @lemonhaze , Hi , at this point I’m not willing to compromise the carpet. I’ll probably replace it in the near future with a low dense Berber. I’m going to remove the nearby carpet, wood, and tile about 1000 sq. ft. , with glue down oak. The amoun... | |

| A controversial takes on low cost speakers with a lesson... Before I can judge you I have to look at myself. Judgment comes from a lack of understanding. Our audiophile journey is about learning ( understanding ). So all I have to do is look back at ME. When I was young and had a fairly large stereo , I ... | |
| Footers under new speakers @pindac , Hi and thanks. I must apologize, at 67 and encountering the onslaught of Autoimmune disorder and accompanying heart issues, I’m realizing how off I am cognitively. Please I’m not asking for any sympathy I just want to say THANK YOU, and ... |
