| Turntable I've heard this said on AGon before: "If you don't have LOTS of vinyl to start with, don't get a turntable". Seriously, digital is so good now and it's only getting better. Myself? I just hate having to get up every twenty minutes to flip the reco... | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? The argument many use is "can I buy this" instead of "should I buy this". I wasted baskets of money (that I could be using now in retirement). The system I have now is everything I wanted so I can't complain. The components I have didn't exist 30 ... | |
| Each recording has one right volume level. I've always said that it would be a simple matter for the record company to include a "calibration track". Using an app, you would play the CT (e.g. a 1000k test tone) and adjust your system volume to match what is specified on the album jacket. I... | |
| Are you buying the right interconnects ? If this is so critical, why don't speaker makers put this info on the back of their speakers? They just don't give-a-darn if you use the wrong cables and their speakers sound like crap? | |

| Should I get an SL-1200G I was looking at the 1500c last week, For a few hundred more you get some really neat features in the next model up (1200GR?). | |
| What is this? It could be a cartridge demagnetizer. These were popular in the 90's but haven't seen them lately. That's my guess. BTW, if you don't have the manual, just throw away... | |
| Who remembers audio from the time when ... The difference between driving a stick-shift car VS an automatic transmission. | |
| Headphone King of Soundstage? "Cross Feed". Isn’t this what the new Polk "Legend" speaker does? Also, there is (was?) a technology called MARS (McShane Ambience Retrieval System) that did the same thing. As for soundstage, sound goes into those holes on the sides of your head ... | |
| Bookshelf My usual response would be something from KEF. The new Wharfedale Linton's look really interesting too (if not too big). They would have satisfying bass I would imagine. | |

| Krell FPB 600 = to what new amp today. Having used the humble (only 300 watts+/ch @ 8 ohms) Bryston 4B3 in my current system, I didn’t think it sounded "thin" in any way (Used full range w/ Mac C22 preamp -probably your speaker wire). Also, The bass I got from twin 6.5 inch woofers (B&... | |
| Krell FPB 600 = to what new amp today. Probably some big monos (Bryston, BAT, Krell, etc.). | |
| Any of you own a classic Modern Stereo Console? The best consoles were (are?) made by Grundig. |
