What size subwoofer to get?
Slightly different advice:1. A floorstander's low frequency (in this case 35Hz) can be expected to be its -3dB point (unless you're quite close to a wall). The crossover on a sub is its -3dB point. Therefore, a crossover point an octave above the ...

Need Advice: Which Headphone Amp?
Headroom - SS sound; crossfeed optionASL - good value tube soundDavid Berning - headphone heavenAll three of these work well with Sennheisers - it depends on your taste and budget. I have all three but the microZOTL is by far my favorite, then the...

Merlin Speaker Placement
My experience is essentially the same as Tubegroover's. Personally I prefer mine with a backward tilt. They're very sensitive to the slightest changes. 
Difference between tact rcs2.0 and 2.2x
I have an RCS 2.0 that I use with a sub. I set it up as one would without the RCS (position, phase, and amplitude) and then used the correction on the whole system. I'm happy with the results. -- As to its use as a preamp, I compared the internal ...

Why vinyl?
I've tweaked my CD-based system to where (to my ear) there is a rich and warm midrange with no harshness or glare (so long as I don't do a direct comparison to vinyl). Like Kthomas, I ride the happiness of listening to the music and have let go of... 
My wife says yes Help what to upgrade next?

Best Buy or Good Value in a Transport CD
I replaced the laser transport mech in my Delta and had it modified by Dan Wright at ModWright. Total cost including shipping was about 500. Couldn't be happier. 
Does anyone actually rackmount ?????
Nearly everything in my project studio is rack mounted. Nothing in my listening room is rack mounted. It's principally a matter of space. There's so much gear in the studio that without rackmounting it would take way too much space (not to mention... 
Are we music lovers or gear lovers?
We're both. Audiogon principally provides a place to buy and sell hardware and some software. It also provides (luckily for us) a forum where we can exchange information that may be useful in creating our own collections of hardware and software. ...
