| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Richard Thompson, his life's work of songwriting is simply incredible and far ranging. Frank Zappa and Robert Fripp. | |
| Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps If you love music why in the world would you try to hold off getting hearing aids?????? Makes absolutely no sense. You aren't going to accommodate hearing loss with screwing around with your system. This thinking hurts my head. | |
| Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room Larsen's are designed to be against the wall, haven't heard them but reviews are very favorable. | |
| hearing loss and amp choices Absolutely wear hearing protection inside your helmet when riding. The wind noise alone will damage your hearing over time. Also, behind the ear hearing aids are the way to go, unobtrusive and no need to miniaturize as much as the in ear ones. Nob... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices Curtdr is absolutely correct! I have fairly compromised hearing that happens to everyone in my family. The biggest improvement in my system was a pair of Oticon hearing aids. I have no idea why so many are so reluctant and advocate trying to tune ... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. I have the low output version of the Grado Sonata and it sounds like it has just the traits you're looking for and at a good price point. | |
| Rouge Audio RP-7 I have no experience with Rogue, but my ARC Classic 60 and SP 9 Mk lll are in for their first service in 30+ years. I thought they were expensive when purchased, what runs this long and sounds so good???? Pretty good investment IMHO. | |

I'm not sure, but I believe the phase ... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Dimming of the Day, Richard and Linda ThompsonLooking for an Echo, The Persuasions400 years, Bob Marley and the WailersIf something sounds great on these 3, they'll sound great for everything. | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. Oticon, behind the ear. Best "upgrade" to my system and life. I don't understand why people try to fix their hearing by messing with their system, proper hearing aids are WAY better! | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt I've had my ARC Classic 60 driving my Thiel CS 3.5's for over 30 years. Superb match and I've never been tempted to change. It's fed with an ARC SP 9 mk III. Never had upgrade-itis other than one change in cables. So happy my dealer helped with th... | |

| Uneven soundstage help, please. Get hearing aids if you need them!!! It's really much smarter than trying to tune your system to accommodate your specific hearing requirements. I don't understand why people are so reluctant to do the one thing that will solve the problem most el... |
