| Goodbye ZYX Airy 3 "you will have to pay more day by day bcoz dollar is only paper now."BS! The strong US dollar means cheaper imports.The "premium" is a redesign that is touted by ZYX to be superior.The Premium line was introduced in September 2014. Why no reviews ... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? A major difference is the "waveform Launch" of a big Magnepan Vs a cone speaker!If you want "punch" of heavy rock a long throw 12" cone works best, and is identical to what rock bands use.If you want the "tone" of a big acoustic standup bass, or e... | |
| Is Goertz still the choice for Magnepan? I find old Cardas cables work best for Maggies.Warm midrange, 3D imaging, details come through.Long break in time is a draw back.George Cardas used Maggies as his reference back then.Golden Cross is best, but expensive.Quadlink 5C gives the best b... | |

| Fozgometer @StringreenSince you wear a hearing aid you "must" use 'tools" for all your arm setup!Setup by ear is not your option. LOL! | |
| Fozgometer The fozgometer is a PIA to use, and so is setting azimuth by ear.http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?9097-Azimuth-adjustment-the-easy-wayOptimizing Arms are a PITA no matter what approach, but theend result should be pleasing to YOUR ear!... | |
| Fozgometer @Tketcham(And to expect that every single Fozgometer manufactured will work perfectly, forever, is unrealistic.)TOTAL BS! THAT IS EASY, AND WHAT I WANT!It is just a meter, and a few parts, is a box, and way overpriced!Why should it not work foreve... | |
| VPI 3-D tonearm It is ESSENTIAL to know the effective mass for proper cartridge matching!Why is VPI hiding this spec??? What are they afraid of???I guess they do not believe in science, or think it will work optimally with "any" cartridge. LOL!By the way, they ha... | |

| Records with words with the letter S are slurred Some singers "SIS" the Ss, with "natural sibilance" in their vocals. | |
| Whole house audio: Wifi vs Blutooth Wire your house with CAT 6 Ethernet cable.It is cheap wire, and you will have a very fast connection, without WiFi dropout spots in your house.Bluetooth only has a thirty foot range, and poor audio. |
