| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers Yes, Martin Logans were considered BORING by my wife 20+ years ago (Monolith IIIs and reQuests). She complained about the lack of dynamics and bass. She said pop music sounded emasculated. I replaced them with Focus Signatures. They play every... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? jssmith +1 It's all about the sound/musical recorded event. With so many single format, limited edition recordings on 78s, LPs and CDs, I'm not going to go streaming. Plus, the sound of each format's recordings when mastered or remastered to a h... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad My friend has an old 27" tube TV 2’ behind between his two way stand mounted monitors. His room is a mess. However, the sound is exquisite. Superb imaging and sound from his custom built tube system (he is a cable manufacturer). I am happy to know... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? I'll start off with my selling of 18,000 records, mostly 78s over the past several decades. I have a rule that if I don't potentially want to listen to a record 3 times annually, out it goes. I still have 25,000 LPs, 7,000 78s and 7,000 CDs. I ... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ My listening room cost $165K and my analog front end is $22K. My old/great speakers are only $2.5K today. The dozen E-Mats make a significant difference and I wouldn't want to be without them. I would probably need to buy $35K to $70K speakers ... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I have one E-Mat in the main breaker box over the audio breaker and two E-Mats on the outside panel of the audio breaker box. I thought that the E-Mats work just as well through a sheet of metal (the breaker box cover) as inside. Should I keep t... | |

| Again the topic of weight of amps @larrykell I said that I couldn't physically handle a 185 lb. amp. My current listening room floor can handle a 7.5+ earthquake let alone a few hundred pounds of equipment.My 1993 constructed prior home had a similar custom 6" slab with 2' exter... | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: My comments concerning Masterbuilt cables were historical. Masterbuilt adapted cables specifically for audio use from the military to my knowledge as opposed to just sell military cables. | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I can barely move my 95 lb. Bryston BIT-20 isolation transformer. I have to rock into place my Legacy Focus speakers at 185 lbs. when I moved. I can't imagine owning a 175 lb amp although my floor is 12" 3000 psi reinforced slab which could hand... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Virgin vinyl is the primary reason Japanese LPs are so quiet. I do not own more than a few MFSL pressings. Originals often sound superior despite their higher record noise. I'll take a V.S.O.P. reissue any day over an MFSL from the 80s. | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: Jimski - I am a beta tester for almost 20 years for GroverHuffman.com cables. He uses an air dielectric (patented) with flattened ribbon conductors. The shielding is immense with a combo of copper braid dipped into a solidified solution made of ... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I bought an EAR 890 amp in 2006 and used it with an EAR 864 for a two years. It sounded forward and bright on my Legacy Focus speakers. With a custom high end pre-amp the 890 was rather thin sounding. I replaced the pre-amp as well. I moved th... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid I have several MSFLs that are similar to many of my Japanese LPs where they look black/dark but when held up to a light, are almost transparent with an amber coloration. | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I just listened to Blues in Orbit last week. I have 3 Omega E-Mats on 2 breaker boxes and no Gate. I also experienced really wonderful 3-D soundstage with this ordinary CD. Great sound, great performances. |
