| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I used a Tandberg 320? and a Nakamichi zx7 for recording live choirs in the 80s along with a Tandberg 9000 R2R. The DAT deck was superior. However, the cassettes I made were of superior quality to nearly all prerecorded tapes. There lies the pr... | |
| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase geoffkait has made many interesting and educational audiophile posts which I appreciate. Then he goes off on I'm right and you're wrong attitude which is shear arrogance. I've had much worse trolls that put me down on a personal, race and religi... | |

| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! @mijostyn I agree with your previous post about the competition. I own VPI products including a 19-4 turntable (which had a semblance of isolation with rubber and sprung/spring platform) now used as an excellent 78 rpm turntable. My TNT VI ... | |
| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase I have made some purchasing mistakes in my time. I remember an "audiophile" CD player which I bought for 40% off, the Muse Signature 9, somewhere around $2000 back in the 90s. It was awful, cut off beginning and ending transients. I guess I bou... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I have 25,000 LPs, 7,000 78s and 7,000 CDs. Sure, I love playing analog.

| REST IN PEACE - TIM MROCK My condolences to Krissy and Tim's family. He was such a nice man when we spoke. His ingenuity was above 95% of all audio engineers. His products live on in my system as in many others. Hopefully, more audiophiles/music lovers will get to know... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room gammajo That's even larger than my former listening room. Do you think that the 55Ks would be okay in a much smaller room, 15' X 20' X 10' high? The room is extremely well insulated (16" compound walls/12" 3000 psi reinforced concrete floors-$1... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! I took felt rings off of my Legacy Focus dome tweeters because they restricted the off-axis high frequency sound. Sort of like a clamshell on a clam. So much more open without the felt rings. | |
