| Need emergency help please! OP said it was an emergency, so there's no point in my posting any advice now. | |
| Stacking gear no more rack space does it affect sound quality Yes @troidelover, I quite agree.Stacking gear directly on other gear can lead to heat buildups. May also invalidate guarantees as many manufacturers advise not to stack.So, I recommend not stacking power amps particularly as either they will heat ... | |
| An Urgent Hypothetical! Lousy choice of LP front ends. Don't want any of them.OP should get out more. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Good science is a very high bar. A theory must be proven universally true. That is why science is always a long way behind conjecture.But that is no reason to ignore good science and live by conjecture, as apparently do many people here. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Loudness controls are an interesting topic.They have been universally denigrated by audiophiles.But it is true human hearing has less acuity at frequency extremes - demonstrated by the fact most of us can hear nothing at all above 25kHz or below 1... | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance boing boing Miller, they said you would pop up.If castors (sic, in the UK at least) have rubber wheels then they will behave similarly to your beloved far more costly Podiums - boing boing.If you have a solid floor that it's a no-brainer - spikes ... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. Writing on this forum is frequently very poor.Interestingly on this post about grammar I have carefully scanned everyone's writing and find only a single slip.

| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member " Oregon address is Known destination of fright forwarders."Freudian slip, but true. | |
| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member " You must ship to user's PayPal email address only. No exceptions."How do you ship to an email address? Does the piece arrive in the ether? | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? A good phono stage with loadings correctly matched to the cart (or to your taste if you prefer) will make a big difference, more so with a moving coil, more so at the high end.Miller, please send me your 'worthless' used carts so I can get them re... | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? OK I'll get in before Miller - don't buy the Moabs. | |
| Appreciation You're right OP!Some people put $$$$$ killer systems in their car, but they just sound boomy and voiced by Phil Spector - wall of sound is the glass six inches from your left ear (over here in England).I mainly listen to car radio, then we have th... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? You can't tell what is your weakest link just by playing your system as you can't know what component is doing what.You have to swap out successive components one a a time and observe the changes. Experience listening to many other systems will a... | |
