| Sat front row at the symphony... Has been in Carnegie Hall for performance of piano with violin (Spivakov) I could hear coughing and sneezing a lot better than piano and violin. This venue is one of the WORST I've ever been. Other days had been in Minnesota Symphony Hall and wh... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? My movies are limited to those that don't have much video or sound effects. Sometimes they have great music on the soundtrack, but the soundtracks I do prefer to listen separately. | |
| Problems with forum lag/performance? Audiogon often does that so browser does not matter at all. This site is developed and maintained by amateurs and practicing students so don't expect it to work perfect. | |
| Yes, digital cables matter too They matter, but not really the dollars you're spending on. $1...10,000 digital cables per meter have $4...5 total worth of material TOPS. | |
| In a speaker crossover, are film inductors directional or have polarity? As a general rule of thumb, speaker x-overs don't have polarity. Are we speaking about active or passive x-over? | |
| Should I Caps should be replaced as they age, not just all of them especially in fully functional amp. Doing that is a lot cheaper and smarter. Recap jobs are too excessive and made for fools to believe that it’s worth it. Techies that want to make extra b... | |

| The problem with PLC but who is going to buy a 500 dollar loudspeaker and match it with 5000 dollar gear? according to possibilities it's truly possible and frequency of such purchases is far larger than every once in a while. | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. Looks like trip to Russia will save you a lot on vacuum tubes! | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? Hi I’m looking for obscure CDs: Electronic, Ambient, Dub, German Standard, Japanese Funk. If you have any of those, please IM me. Format does NOT matter. Artists only | |
| No longer getting daily forum discussions With this site something always going wrong so if it's not critical, than it's really nothing wrong, just periodic tech maintenance mishaps | |
| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? Everyone should figure where the bottom line is located and how it works. It's extremely simple and safe to assume that dealers pragmatically label the tubes they sell to you as matched while in reality it's just a tube and sometimes even cigar i... | |
| Dust War. No doubt Taliban is actually on US budget payroll and they had been created and established to control every square inch of an opium harvest. | |
| Need some help with Analog,Just Learning less components in the signal path is far more efficient than more components. for more components in the signal path you will also have to pay more obviously. Having a sufficient cartridge output to directly feed the phonostage is the best. |
