| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Just went integrated on my main system, replacing about $10K worth of separates (DeHavilland, Edge, JLTi) with a Luxman 580AXII. Driving Klipsch Forte IV's, so the 30 Class A WPC was not an issue. Now just have to get around to selling off the o... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? No, I don't care. And I don't care if you care, either. Problem solved. | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system Real helpful when the "experts" here say you've got to spend $15,000 to get started in vinyl. My suggestion: get the Rega P3 with a Rega cartridge, build up a record collection, THEN think about a TT/cart upgrade. Unless you are a gear junkie, t... | |
| Just a public call out Would be more helpful if you actually listed the vendors' names in your post (unless they were censored by the moderator). | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Blah blah blah blah blah. (Oh, did the OP actually pose a question?) | |
| Rossini Apex by DCS - Home Audition The dealers primarily have a stake in your pocketbook, which you are more than willing to accommodate! (Tongue in cheek; glad you can afford such a system!) | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? Reconditioned Nak 1000 or Dragon. I owned a 1000 for a number of years; thoroughly enjoyable and fun to use. | |
| Speakers for string Quartets Klipsch Forte IV. Hard to beat for the intensity and body of bowed strings, especially once you get to the cello. | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? The problem with this kind of pissing contest is that everybody gets wet and nobody's happy. | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? It always cracks me up with an OP is asking about bookshelf recommendations and we give him/her suggestions ranging up to the size of a small refrigerator. Not to mention the guy that has to chime in about how cheap crossover components are in mo... | |

| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? A lot of dependencies here. If you want to experiment, get yourself a couple of sheets of 4x8 ABX plywood, and place underneath and in front of your speakers. Do you like the difference in the sound? A lot quicker and cheaper than tearing out y... | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. If headphone listening is that important, I'm surprised you're not using a dedicated HP amp in the first place. I'm using my Woo from the tape output of my Luxman; the Luxman's HP jack is for convenience only. | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes "1000 on tubes last week"..."had to be done"? Hmmm. I think not. |
