| Speaker type for my Conrad-Johnson ET5/LP70S tube combo Magico A3? I'd also suggest Monitor Audio, but may be too laid back for you. | |
| Soldered VS ...everything else How do people feel about set screws in bananas or spades? Not by themselves, again, in a gold plated copper crimp sleeve is ideal.However, again the issue is that in the cheapest types the threads are too coarse and the material is too hard to se... | |
| Bluetooth converter for headphones. You want something like this:https://amzn.to/2KugtcQ | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? Tandberg. I wish all stereo equipment looked as well and performed like their FM tuners or tape decks. | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. OP :Yeah, you are not the only one to listen to Boulder and really wonder what was going on. | |
| Optical + Auxillary Mixer "auxiliary" is one of several analog, line level inputs which were all identical. CD, Tape, Tuner, etc. all used the same physical and electrical specification. The Echo Dot also has a Bluetooth though, so you can pair it with a receiver like this... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? I have a few. Maker's MarkGreen Dot Irish WhiskeyComandon cognacTheme? Smooth and sweet like my stereo system. :) Best,E | |

| Powering nine home speakers Well if this is a stereo set up, then your answer is to do more of a pro/distribution type setup. If you are using this for movies, why oh why do you have 9 speakers in your ceiling?? | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 +1 for Fritz. Great value and well balanced. Top of the line parts for a fraction of other brand costs. Last audio show I went to, I talked with a couple of recording professionals, both women, and Fritz was one of the few brands they would listen... | |
| Over and Under Biasing as means for tone control Well in consumer-land, tone control refers to bass and treble balance controls. I'm not sure bias will affect this in that sense.Under-biasing risks excessive distortion, over bias risks excessive heat and shortened (possibly VERY short) tube life. | |
| Woofers in or out? My opinion is that your ears matter more than anything else. I also believe room acoustics are always worth investing in. :) Best,E | |
| Go dual small sub, switch to closed sub or buy a bigger sub? If you have a wide range of placement options, go dual sub. If you are locked in, go one big sub. Room treatment always help. Best,E |
