| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) Your vinyl rig and especially phono pre will have more impact on how your vinyl sounds than your speaker selection. Forte IV and Cornwall were both on my short list recently; purchased the Forte as I didn't have room for the Cornwalls. Cornwalls... | |
| Lack of popularity of Chord??? Popular does not equal good. People who like to stack their components probably shy away from Chord. | |
| OK - Now What…? You can keep buying more sh*t just for the sake of buying more sh*t, or you can start exploring artists that you enjoy listening to, taking a deep dive into their musical repertoire, find out who their influences are and look into other artists wh... | |
| Blindfold Speaker testing So what? Been done decades ago. Nothing new under the sun. | |
| Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays?? Nothing like spending the cost of an entire season of concerts on one album, that you probably already have multiple copies of. Rich fool's hobby reel-to-reel is (says Yoda). | |
| What tracks offer the best left right separation? I've got a bunch of the old "bachelor pad" aka "space music" collections from the 60s; many of them feature hard-panned instruments. Has nothing to do with live sound, but was fun for the pipe-smoking sophisticat trying to bed a sweet young thing... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Oh, for goodness sakes, get [insert name of my own speaker here}! Suggest you get into the new room, see how you like the sound of your existing system there, then move on if you are dissatisfied. Just 'cause you've got $$$ to spend, doesn't mea... | |

| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! In US, you can contact dan at info@ear-usa.com. They are the US distributor for Townshend. | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops Geez. Buncha idjits. Make sure to slam the stylus down on the vinyl while you're at it (but make sure you have the volume up to your normal listening level)! If the tube phono pre has a separate power supply (or wall wart), make sure it's locat... | |
| Low power amps and speaker damage? 86dB? That ain't loud! (Unless it's coming from your iPod!) | |
| Bi-wire changes for non bi-wire speakers For quick audition purposes, so what; but if you've got cables that are internally bi-wired, you'll only be using half the cable if you only connect up one pair of plugs at the speaker. Match the cable to the speaker, not the other way around. | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna All it takes is watching one of Kevin's YouTube videos to get an idea of how he approaches the products he sells. You can either love his honesty and enthusiasm or hate it; your attitude matters less to him than it does to you. That being said, ... |
