| Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave I dunno. I think "man-cave in the garage" and I’m thinking an old Yamaha amplifier and some Cerwin Vegas or some Kabuki speakers you can stack some beers on. And a fridge. And some vintage Led Zeppelin fuzzy posters or something. And a black-ligh... | |
| Damping Factor It's kind of like a wet.....well, you ,know. Someday you'll understand. | |
| Percentage of cable cost I don't think 20% of the MSRP of the piece of equipment is unreasonable to spend on cabling. | |
| HFTs? They are small button-sized transducers that you strategically stick to your listening room walls, etc... They help absorb unwanted resonances and reflections. They’re not cheap, but a lot more practical in some instances than other available aco... | |
| Anyone have experience with Willsenton tube amps or specifically the R800i (92lbs)? I had a Chinese tube amp for awhile. I imagine they're all probably made in the same manufacturing facility, or at least with mostly all the same parts, so I will answer your questions as best I can. Are they reliable? Fairly.

| Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away?? The only one I could see going away out of the bunch is Classe. Too much of a niche product with no low-end offerings. The rest all offer entry level gear as well as some higher-end stuff. | |

| Just updated my virtual system Looking good. Probably sounding pretty good, too. ;) | |
| is the 1990s "WIDE MODE" setting the 'soundstage' of today, and a gimmick? I had an EQ that had an "Expander" button, or some such thing on it. Sounded awful then, and I'm sure it still sounds awful. :) | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information I tell you what would be huge on here, and that's an "Ignore" button. | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information What’s wrong with lamp cord? Is this a joke? I think some of us are just on completely different playing fields. | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question Depends on your DIY skills, how much time you have, what you want the end product to look like, and whether or not the difference in price is worth it. BTW, A quick Google search shows me that a pair of those used should be nowhere near $8K. I’v... | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information @tommylion I think the underlying problem is that some people on here are passionate audiophiles. Some are not. Some people on here are very knowledgeable, some are not. Some people on here are probably quite well-off financially, some are not. ... | |
| Audio nonsense Everything I have ever tried has made a difference of some sort. Whether or not I cared for the difference is a different story. I recently pulled a Furutech NCF Clear Line conditioner out of my main system. They have a good reputation (as a br... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey I recently purchased my first pair of open baffle speakers (Emerald Physics Carbon 2.8’s)...For me they are game changers. |
