| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? @shebuskij The worst possible advice! A totally outdated perspective. Speakers are the most flawed component, despite this fact if the electronics and source are not up to the level of the speakers you have a mess on your hands. This is where t... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Understand the recordings sound quality of either an analog or digital recording dictates the audio systems potential. Don’t believe loudspeakers are the most important system component, everything matters. A dedicated 20 amp power line or 2 depen... | |
| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression This is main reason why I rarely purchase mass produced new vinyl. Sound Quality is the main purpose for owning HEA!

| How do you add color? @mapman Why post just to mock the thread? Some of us enjoy nitpicking Audiophile jargon. Several of you have expanded on my previous post with very interesting commentary. IMO some also confuse engagement with coloration. A speaker that perfectly... | |

| speakers for small room I have a similar situation with a 12.5 x 13.5 living room with an adjacent 80% open 4 x 13.5 hallway that contains my record storage. IMO a modest sized floor stander minus a sub(space/continuity issues) will give the best results. Hopefully Sonus... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Are you still in the process of increasing your vinyl jazz collection? FWIW consider the first 400 Concord Jazz vinyl series. I own about 90/400 and my estimate is > 75% have Audiophile SQ and content always rates at least 4/5. Many o... | |
