| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? Mine is in the same room. If you have the proper space and acoustics why not. Ht receivers especially high end receivers have a “pass thru” circuit that allows for isolation of each pre amp and respective amps. I’m my scenario it works out great. | |
| Previous Ownership...does it matter to you? Yes I’d like to know if it’s the original owner, or how many owners the piece had. If it was a demo. Absolutely. I have bought used gear and demos in the past without issues but full disclosure is always the best policy. | |
| Burt Bacharach has passed away He defined our generation with his music. A sad loss of a great talent. | |
| New take on CD vs Vinyl vs CD Interesting. I don’t know about digitizing vinyl. I seem to have a problem with getting on board with that. I’m really impressed with how digital has come along me right now I’m focusing on that with my system. With the right equipment red book cd... | |
| Can I get more out of my Koetsu ? I think you’re doing ok. You may think about a turntable upgrade but that’s just part of the hobby. As for your koetsu, I have a Rosewood Signature mounted on my vpi scout. It’s sounds great. They can be finicky but keep adjusting. That’s what I ... | |

| Ozzy is done I thought he was finished 20 years ago. | |
| Where to spend my money... Don’t over look the VPI Scouts, especially with the heavy metal platter and nordost JmW 9 tonearm. These are the precursor to the Prime and with a few upgrades like feet and motor you can get equal to or surpass the performance of a Prime for less... | |
| Tough amp decision McIntosh for sure! | |
| DC blockers - what's your experience I use iFi on my NAS and fiber transmitter….they work excellent and are extremely affordable. | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? I’ve had good luck with ups, but the best I feel is FedEx. USPS come in last. I just shipped three audio components via usps because the customer requested and paid for that and I’m bitting my nails. I purchased insurance myself as well. | |
| Tube or solid state In my main system my tube preamp and ss amp gives me the tube smoothness without compromising bass slam and articulation. However, my other vintage system is all tube, and I get very good results from that because the amps are McIntosh MC30s and t... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power Fatiguing to listen to, glare, maybe muddy under some circumstances, lack of soundstage .I know this is not what you want to hear but when you add a good power conditioner, things will sound so much better! And you’ll know if it’s the right power ... |
