| Rank the tweaks, geeks! Go nuts over speaker placement. Fine tune positioning to a fault. Regularly unplug & re-plug all connections. Keep the stylus & cantilever clean. Give your stuff time to warm up. | |

| System forclassical music My Nola Boxer/PrimaLuna Integrated combo has the capability to deliver convincing orchestral string tone and near-convincing classical vocal tone whatever the source may be. | |
| Subwoofer for Nola Boxer I enjoy my Paradigm DSP 3100. It integrates well with the Boxer sound. It won't go down to 20hz in my room but it does give me a pretty good, very musical 30-32. If you go to my page on this site that shows people's systems you'll see it lurking a... | |

Will it be something I'm familiar with? Or something/someone I've totally never heard of? And yes all you literalis... | |
| Jazz Music Question dsper -- give Hard Bop a try to find stuff similar to the Cannonball Adderley album.. | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" as millercarbon sez in his first post here. | |
| Nicks or McVie..... Stevie sexily purrs. Christine sounds like a wholesome '60's folkie who somehow found herself in a rock band. Yeah, I prefer Stevie. | |
| Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System? I never fail to enjoy listening to my stereo. That doesn't mean, though, that I don't often find better things to do. Putting it another way, as much as I enjoy my stereo, I don't feel obligated to sit there and listen (either critically or un... | |
