Multi-media teaching with great audio and great video - is it possible?
Not sure why you didn't order the Apple media adapter online instead of buying the Insignia at Best buy but here's how to do it if wired.  You could also connect the audio out to one of your NAD's inputs with a 3.5mm to RCA adapter:  Split audio a... 
Building a dedicated listening room
I will speak for myself. I am sure everyone has their opinions, preferences and personal experiences. I wasn’t until a year ago, when I purchased my current home that I felt that I finally had “my” ideal dedicated listening room. This room is for ... 
What to ask when buying used speakers?
I failed to mention: Even if the seller accepts a bad speaker back and pays the return shipping one way or both or if it is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, let’s not forget the hassle, inconvenience and wasted time involved! Time is one... 
What to ask when buying used speakers?
If the seller is dishonest, he’s not going to reveal any problems such as a rubbing voice coil or if something is not original, such as a driver that was replaced with a non-original driver. Personally, I’d never buy a used speaker and if you are ... 
Cartridge for JVC
No offense, but no Schiit product ever sounds great. I gave them a try and even gave them an extra strike. I have tried 4 and all had issues or underperformed. All got sent back and their customer service is an F- at best.  Done with Schiit for go... 
Speaker Spikes - Working Principle
  kraftwerkturbo OP: Yes, tape would do the trick but elevating them with the spikes does improve the sound in my opinion.  They seem to breathe better.  I am not much into turntables anymore, in fact, I only have one turntable out that is not st... 
Speaker Spikes - Working Principle
I agree with carlsbad 2.  Spikes just minimize the surface-to-surface contact. The only good use that I see for spikes is to keep a subwoofer from sliding around on carpet.  I used to have a hum problem with my turntable years ago whenever I would...

Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
  jl35: Yes, they are nice.  I asked the salesman that I deal with at PS audio to let me know when their bookshelf speakers came out.  If they're as good as the FR 20 or 30, I'd love to give them try and maybe buy another set of speakers I defini... 
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
  jl35: Aren’t the speakers themselves unnecessary?  Logic tells me that most able to spend 20K on a pair of speakers would likely be traveling first class, staying at a 4–5-star hotel and eating in nice restaurants, not including drinks and ente... 
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
I can't picture a trip to NY for a "few days" including airfare, hotel, transportation and food for under 5 K.  
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
As mentioned by others, if I was going to spend 20K on a pair of speakers I would not do so unless I auditioned them first, unless it was a pair of PS Audio FR 20s (+- 20K), and that’s only because I am familiar with their voicing and have auditio... 
Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant?
Can anyone qualified clarify how cables are "cooked"? Isn't the purpose of "cooking" cables just a matter of moving valence electrons around to break in a cable? Can't someone just have an appropriate source of current and voltage such as a powe... 
Marantz 2325 speaker cables
 dill: Experience is the "key" word.  I have lived in more countries than I can count on two hands and have visited around 35.  No offense to you but making generalizations is very naive. Unless you have been to China or other countries and have p...
