| Chesky Audio LC1 bookshelf speakers - a sonic bargain! Applaud quality 1K/pr. speakers. That means someone can assemble a modest respectable system for around 3K. Perhaps a solid introduction to the hobby. | |
| The importance of the wall plug It contributes. I run the Furutech GTX(R) Rhodium with that cover. Best of luck solving. | |
| Finding this… Sense a tinge of sarcasm. Fine. Honestly, I’ve none of his music. But, this interests me and the guitar accompaniment is outstanding. I’ve so many examples of artists found outside their normal venues who surprise. “The Long Black Veil” with ... | |
| Anyone have experience with the new ATC active bookshelf speakers? jackmonster makes a strong and interesting, albeit unintentional, point. That particular model speaker may be considered so good that as your system improves incrementally, there is no need to upgrade those transducers. Sounds as if someone from... | |

| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? ATC 40A active towers. They love good power cables and XLR cabling. Reclaim unnecessary power amp real estate. Reduce cabling. Clean solution. Yes, I’ve owned them. Good luck. | |
| Backart Labs Rhumba Extreme version 1.4 Linestage Tubed Preamplifier Backert seems a solid chase. I’ve no experience with them, however would agree with previous poster regarding power conditioning. For years ran Furman, then substantially upgraded to Decware power conditioner. Convinced! Now Puritan Labs 156 a... | |
| Best Audiophile Album in terms of Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality? Thank you to OP and others for contributing. As noted by the author, one should seek the SACD hybrid, SACD or some remastering for best results.
