| Is this still as important? @Millercarbon - well, then stop driving on roads, drinking water from your faucet, don't call 911 for the police or an ambulance, don't worry about doctors being licensed. Rip out your smoke detectors and seat belts. I believe you like to fish - w... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for small room @labelman @goldprintaudio Goldprintaudio mentioned the Rega P6, which I have and love. You can go down one step to the P3 and have more money for a better DAC, really depends on what do you listen more, and more closely to, records or digital. Man... | |
| Optimizing HT setup for Analog: Where to begin? The problem most likely is you are using an AVR - at least that is my own experience. I spent good money going from a highly rated Denon AVR receiver to separate Mcintosh and Lexicon HT equipment, with various speaker changes, trying to get it. It... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for small room The P3's are great at any volume, I have the larger Harbeth 30.2's and play them softly most of the time, they still sound wonderful at low volume. Go back and have the dealer play music you like at a lower volume. One thing I did was buy an integ... | |
| Which Cartridge/TT to buy - Ortofon MM Black, Rega Exact, Rega Ania? I have a Rega Planar 6 with the Ania MC, using a Luxman Integrated (so it's somewhat similar in sound to your Yamaha.) It's a very nice match up and you are in the right ballpark. I had bookshelf KEF's and really enjoyed them, but I would say they... | |
| Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard. Ryan Adams was canceled by himself: Reports of Adams' alleged sexual misconduct and psychological abuse were first documented and published in February 2019. Several prominent musicians went on record about Adams' misconduct, including Adams' ex-... | |
| Guitar preamp and power amp same power conditioner I'm not sure this is the info you are looking for, but I keep my Fender amp and various foot pedals in the same room as my audio setup, but on a completely separate circuit from the audio equipment. You're idea of the direct line is a good one. I ... | |
| What is your favorite ''slow dance'' song of all time? Two that do the trick:Can I have this Dance - Anne MurrayColor my World - Chicago | |
| Iso-Puck Question I understand the fear of pogo sticking, I would be more afraid that the mini's are overloaded or close it it and you get no benefit. twoleftears makes a good point on using three rather then four. Do report back, it'll be useful for others as to w... | |
| Iso-Puck Question I use iso-mini's under my turntable (Rega P6) and they are very small. Now that I have seen and used them, I would not put 5 under my speakers which also weight around 30 pounds like yours. I would go to the bigger Iso-Pucks, despite the added cos... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Listening to Mary Lou Lord. I had never heard her before yesterday. I don’t know how I missed her for all these years. She is great. Blows away all these famous female pop stars by a mile. Why didn’t any of you guys and dolls tell me about her! Damn. | |
| What to do with a collection of sealed audiophile vinyl? MFSL Telarc Sheffield Nautilus You kind of answered your own question, it's a hodge podge of material - very good material, but I doubt you would find one person that would be willing to or need to buy all of them as a collection. For instance I have four of them already, so I ... | |
| Qobuz charges I had the same problem, you can sign up but you can never leave. Qobuz reps in their emails were rude and unhelpful. Luckily I was able to get Visa to cancel it, finally. | |
| Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill? My class A keeps my music room nice and toasty, so for me I get a two for one, great sound and warm toes. | |
| LS50 and Classical If you don’t have room for a sub, I’d suggest Harbeth p3ers or try the Totem bookshelves. There are so many good bookshelves now a days, you’ll get a lot of advice. Those are two brands I have owned and loved, although they sound nothing alike, I ... |
