| Location of compoments. My current setup is totally between the speakers, but back against the wall. I bought a pair of long XLR cables and moved everything into an alcove to the left of the speakers and I lost a bit of soundstage on the left, so I moved everything back. | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 If you are looking to buy, get the .7’s and a subwoofer or two. If you have a large room to fill, consider a bigger pair, but the .7’s can play pretty loud. | |
| Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? @mclinnguy How did I never hear of Jazz Sabbath before? I’m only about halfway through their self titled album and OMG I’m hooked! I now know what I’m listening to this New Years Eve. Thanks for sharing! | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review @hollandw, I am so happy to hear how happy you are using the Townshend Podiums. While I never did buy any of the Townshend isolation products, I did have the same boom in my sound and I was vibrating the dishes at one end of the house and the a... | |
| Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? Just put Jazz Sabbath, Jazz Sabbath in cue to listen to next. | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? I have been building my system for a little over fifty years and I’m getting mighty close to “my perfect system”. I am happy to say I listen at least an hour a day, probably three hundred and thirty days a year. Have I done some foolish things in... | |

| Tune of the Day Alice’s Restaurant, Arlo Guthrie. | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato The new song writers must be doing something right, otherwise they wouldn’t be making millions or in one case a billion. | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Parts and build can make a huge difference, but so can how they’re used. For instance, I have a pair of old Yamaha 2 ways speakers than I’m using in a desktop system where they sit 2.5’ from my ears that sound great! But there is no way I would p... | |
| Streamer apps critical My thoughts are the same as @oddiofyl . I have the node N130 and the N200 and the Bluesound app is simply and easy to use. I have a Bluesound Vault 2i in my second system and an Aurender N200 in my main system. Both have been great, the Au... | |
| Do I need new tubes? @rvpiano I have the same tubes in my preamp as well and they should last a minimum of 5000 hours. Depending on how they are configured, maybe as much as 10,000 hours. Oh and I have used the RCA Cleartops @dogearedaudio mentioned and they are gr... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @aheydorn I’m sorry to say that I can’t help you with your decision, having not heard either, but I’m really interested in the PS Audio speakers having heard nothing but good things about them. So I would be interested in hearing your thoughts ... |
