| One-stop solution for vacuum record cleaner? @whart When I purchased the Disc Doctor system for my VPI 16.5 (30 years old) from Tom Port of Better Records, I was told to use separate wands for DD and washing/rinsing as well as separate brushes. I use either RO or distilled water for the r... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? @ htd1 Both my Legacy Focus and Signature III speakers have the same tweeter layout as Dali. Soft dome lower tweeter and ribbon upper tweeter. Blended beautifully. Now Legacy uses dual ribbon tweeters. Not to my liking as much. | |
| Buying used: how old is too old? @bjw54 I have a 28 year old pair of Legacy Focus speakers that look like new and sound better then new. These are now in a primary system that costs about $70,000 in a $160,000 room. I intend to upgrade to a $35,000 to $50,000 speaker (used Vo... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I have one friend who only plays CDs for the last 12 years but who owns 10,000 LPs. Another plays only his own 3,000 CDs through an EAC extracted thumb drive. Four other friends are like me with a mix of LPs and CDs. None of us stream. We are... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt @bdp24 My friend has an RM-9 Mk2. It is excellent. But so are McIntosh 225 and 240 amps. While this is a current amp, the Prana Fidelity Class D amp has no shortcommings. At the LA SHOW yesterday, I heard the $10K 400 watt 8 ohm amp driving the Pr... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? My roughly 30 year old original CDs do not sound unnaturally bright either. I put Pretzel Logic up there with Aja. @Kevlev42 Yeah, until the early 1990s and a couple of Kyocera CD players I felt the same way. I now have 7,000 CDs and record... | |
| Suggest Transports that can be Demo'd at home I have two high end DACs, COS Engineering D1v and D2v. I tried various DVD and CD players from the 1980s to 2000s. The Sony esd707 killed the CXC as did various Denons 2900, 2910, etc. The CXC sounds accurate in my system, lacking in bass found... | |
| Simaudio 260D - As transport Of six transports, the CXC was the worst. Thin sounding, light in the bass area, bad remote, clean but sterile sounding. No front footers, just a strip of plastic-yuk! Okay construction but not worth $600. Better to purchase an old Sony CD esd... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? I agree that it is a lovely song with the classical melody of Plaisir d'amour. Original song is similarly very romantic - Joan Baez in French and English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tfDf8cYs08 Great tenor with superb video production & ... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? I'm noticing some people confuse heartfelt with romantic songs. Cohen's Halleluiah is heartfelt, not romantic. Read the lyrics of Erev Shel Shoshanim versus Halleluiah. Which song would you sing to your significant other if you love them? | |

| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I would rather have the Von Schweikert Ultra 11s; however, too big for my room. Ultra 9s max at $200K. Most likely-VR9SE mk11 at $35K to $50K. Custom listening room cost $160K so I'm covered there. |
