The new dynamic in speaker pricing
@blisshifi Some good points. However, historically there have been a number of ultra priced speakers that have come to the market that have really failed to not only catch the consumers attention, but have also failed in their ability to sound be... 
The new dynamic in speaker pricing
A few months back i heard the new Wilson Alexx Vs. These are a very impressive speaker. What struck me was that at this level, and room dependent, the speaker can portray the sense of ’scale’ of a large ’live’ event! That is something that I think... 
Eric Clapton Unplugged MoFi UD1S thoughts
@dhite71 It is nice to see someone come here and rebut their OP. I think with a lot of these ’audiophile’ releases, the better your system, the easier you are going to be able to hear the differences. The new MoFi ’One Step’ is clearly a lot bet... 
The new dynamic in speaker pricing
There is a good question as to whether a speaker design that would be tiny, have zero aesthetics and yet be a ’world beater’, would actually have any traction regardless of pricing. Most manufacturers ( maybe all?) are cognizant of the fact that f...

@drbarney1 I see you had a purpose built room built for your system, or was it a system built for your room design!! ...;0)   Either way, your room is certainly "unique"!!!!  
The new dynamic in speaker pricing
While I appreciate the attempts at humor, the question that maybe should be asked is how superior are these speakers to the more common place offerings that most of us have heard? Is it possible that these ultra speakers can bring the very well he...

Take a look at the new issue of The Absolute Sound, you will see offerings from, among others, Magico, Wilson, Tidal, Kharma. Plus a larger number of manufacturer's with speakers in the $150-$500K arena.  
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@in-tone For the denigrating folk who think they know what the new Linn LP12 looks like and sounds like, a visit to LinnKasa would be beneficial. I strongly suspect that these naysayers would have a change of heart, although I also seriously doub... 
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@lewm I am unaware of any table from the past, except for the LP12, that has been continually modified over time to compete with the current crop of ’ambitious efforts from others’. To me, this is one of the biggest benefits of LP12 ownership, th... 
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@zavato Great question! Why is it that mijostyn and others who have to denigrate and naysay the LP12 get butt hurt when folk like their LP12? Anyone who last owned the LP12 in the 70’s ( if at all!) has zero credibility with me when it comes to ... 
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@mijostyn The statement that you apparently have taken apart LP12’s, but last owned one in the 70’s..says even more about the drivel you post in regards to this turntable. My feelings are in no way hurt, but perhaps you are dribbling??---:0)  
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
Could be that some of the older naysayers are in fact dribbling! --;0)  
Best speakers for a small room
Any of the Sonus Faber Guarneri models will work well.  
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@no_regrets   +1000   As a former pro studio musician, i totally agree with all that you state about the tonal acuity and the detail retrieval in regards to the sounds of live acoustic music.  To my ears, the speed accuracy is excellent, partic... 
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
@mijostyn  And you would know this how??? The last time you owned the table was in the 70's...which says it all!
