| Bose 10.2's I sold Bose speakers in the 80’s and 90’s. Get anything else. Please. Especially in todays world, there is so much better out there. Their noise cancelation stuff is excellent. If you like the direct-reflecting idea, yeah, Ohm is a better choice. | |
| Pioneer SL-570D TT Tonearm Suggestions @veemike Stripper GF.......and all the boys there at the bar began to sing along. If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb....... There's a song for every situation. As for the turntable, don't mess with it. Probably the same ... | |
| Upgrade Bluesound DAC or go to Aurrender? OP here, so this is what happened... I had the Bluesound Vault 2, it got me introduced into streaming and getting my CD’s ripped. It sounded great, was easy to set up and use and cost-effective way to get into streaming. I then upgraded to a exte... | |
| CD Transport or media server/streamer I had the same issue 2 years ago, buy a new CD player or go into server/streamer. My dealer talked me into the server/stream Bluesound Vault 2 and I have never looked back. I burned all my CD's into the Bluesound and can't for the life of me find ... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I had a different dealer try and talk me out of Harbeth 30.2's saying the 30.1 were just as good. Of course, he didn't have any 30.2's but happened to have two used pairs of 30.1s in stock. Interesting. Also, I used to work at a mid-fi audio stor... | |

| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? Mesh or powerline. My wiring is pretty new and being on the same circuit as the router, the powerline worked the best for me. I found the powerline much easier to set up then the mesh I had. Extenders for me were always a headache. TP Link is what... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? I own the Harbeth 30.2 and 90% of my listening is vocal and acoustic, rarely at high volume, which are two reasons I picked the 30.2's. When I listened to speakers, I also didn't like the 7's as much and wanted something with more bass then the 3'... | |
| Why not use a piece of silver wire instead of a jumper cable? @onhwy61 Because there's no profit in it? By the way, love your nick @onhwy61 | |
| Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3 I own the Luxman 590AXII and it powers Harbeth 30.2’s which have an 87db Sensitivity (yours are 90 I see) with no problem. I can get well past 95db loudness when cranking it. There has been some discussion about the fact that although Luxman says ... | |
| Technics Turntable Database, KAB Electro-Acoustics: Technics Specialist I was born and raised in Plainfield NJ - how's it doing? Haven't been able to get back there in 20 years. Does downtown still have an empty block of nothing in the middle of it? | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? @millercarbon I appreciate the info in the 3rd paragraph, I was unaware of that. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Stacked pair of used Large Advents inside a $129,000 house. Or if you already own a home, the Advents and a Porsche 911. | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... @ryder i have the 590AXII - what a great combination of sound and features. And looks. | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... Totally get it OP! I worked hard to get to my current system, and sometimes I just like to be in the same room with it. I call it Melissa. -- Just kidding on the Melissa part, but that's where it seemed to be heading -- |
