They should charge more for it…
It doesn't take a great engineer to build a 500K turntable that sounds good. You're great if you can make one for $5,000. Of course, IMO, these price-no-object products are about making money for the manufacturer.  
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
Proves that you don't listen to much vinyl.  
Quboz cuts off beginning of songs
I had this problem with my Sony 5400 CD player. In my case, it turned out to be a known problem (was documented in the manual) with the HDMI interface protocol. Would always cut of the first half-second of music when using HDMI output. Can't say i... 
Room Analysis-How?
Just for fun, walk around your room and clap your hands. You're listening for any echos. This occurs when two flat walls face each other. If heard, hang a large beach towel on one of the walls (foam panel from Guitar Center, etc. is better). Repe... 
What to expect for Audio Advice Live 2025?
 Is this a new show? What city? What dates? Thanks  
CD's or Vinyl?
Just starting out, I’d choose streaming. Phys-med takes too much room to store. And streaming can only get better over time, right? Downside, political editing.  
Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?
I can explain it to you But  I can't understand it to you From a song I might write some day  
Tannoy or Volti
P.S. Regarding Klipsch Forte-4 For a good speaker cable connection (to binding post), use ONLY banana plugs. Spades can be used but anything more than "finger tight" will cause the inner nut to go loose. I think this is why I open the binding pos... 
Tannoy or Volti
@charles007100 As a Forte-4 owner, let me tell you my experience. Shortly after purchase, I decided to open the binding post assembly to check for tightness, etc.. I found some connection "extenders’, i.e. small strips of stainless steel. These a... 
Your first concert was to see who and when?
Saint Matthias, third grade, 1962. A 25 piece Classical ensemble performed. Made a lasting impression. First Rock music was a free Jefferson Airplane concert (old bandshell, South end of Grant Park, Chicago). Must have been 1967.  
Was anyone else caught out by this?
I once saw an ad for a built-in wall oven that had controls on top. My eves saw a Pre-amp sitting on top of an Amplifier. "You know you're an Audiophile when you...".  
Tannoy or Volti
For $16k, I’d look for some as-new B&W 803 D4s or maybe something from ATC.   
Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market?
B&W makes a fine product (some will like them more than others, of course). They have been around for ages and have sold many speakers.  
Harbeth 40.3 XDs
Heard the 7.2 at an audio show and thought they were the definition of coherent.    
Sound right before song begins on vinyl, what is it?
I remember back in the tape days, a rule of thumb was to never use fast-forward or rewind before storing your just-played tape. just let it keep playing 'till the end. Don't remember why, exactly. But it was a rule for hard-cores.
