Fire and smoke damage
czariveyHomeowner’s insurance claims nowdays require hiring badass lawyer, because all claims get denied whether you have or don’t have particular coverages.That’s simply false. Indeed, were it true, you’d have a helluva case in "good faith" state...

If you have insurance, I'd suggest you seek replacement. 
Blindfold Speaker testing

Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays??
russ69I thought the big boys were using the RTR as a digital source? Am I wrong?I think so. There can only be disadvantages to putting digital on tape rather than HD or SSD.

mitch4t No one is making new recordings on reel-to-reel ...Please chime in for reasons to buy an open-reel deck today.There are a handful of places with interesting offerings, such as the Tape Project and Acoustic Sounds. They're too pricey fo... 
Streamer question
jbuhlCan you configure Rigelian to stream a music service like Qobuz?No, I still use Manic Moose for that. mahler123... I used Rigelian with the Bryston BDP-3. It definitely was an improvement over Manic Moose, but ultimately there were many days ... 
Streamer question
mahler123I had the Bryston BDP3.  Sounds great but buggy, very difficult to operate.  Sold it to pay for my MelcoThat's interesting. What you describe was my experience with Aurender. I dumped it in favor of the Bryston BDP-3, which has worked ve...

How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
mijostyn... Unfiltered the subwoofers will gladly try to reproduce this. They are not projecting any "sound" into the room. They are no where near large enough to produce those frequencies but, if there is an electrical signal at 8 Hz they wil... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
mijostyn@cleeds , that is right, flat to 20 hz at 1 meter. There is no full range loudspeaker I know of capable of reproducing the bottom two octaves in your average room at realistic levels ...You obviously never heard an Infinity IRS Beta sy... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
benklesc ... We should also note that is a myth that reel to reel heads wear. Yes the metal heads used on professional decks wear but then they are still manufacturing new heads for pro decks. What's your point? First you say one thing, then ...
