| Is Recording quality the real culprit? I struggled with this for several years and finally came to the conclusion that it's more the recording rather than the equipment that gives you the separation and sound stage. I wondered why all sound engineers didn't record in audiophile quality... | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? Hopefully the ruling will get rid of so much nonsense..... my bet is they are looking for a way around it as I type this. As a long time audiophile, I'm hard to fool now but as a newby I was prone to believe the nonsense I read. | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions Perhaps you should take a look at VAC preamps. | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. I liked the commercial generally... don't be a beta male. | |
| Deals Gone Bad Research the person you are buying from and make sure they are who they say they are and they have had a presence for years instead of someone who just pops up to sell something. I find pictures of them (if at all possible) and their current addre... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? It depends on how much $20,000 means to you.... if it is nothing then buy new. If it is something then go look at and listen to them before you buy used. I've bought several used speakers and always worked out but not at the price range you are lo... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? Oops... the cables I mentioned were $40 not 12 something... my mistake. They sound really good though. | |

| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? I can't believe what happened. I was changing around my system and needed cables a little longer than 1m. I wanted silver coated cables for sound quality and searched amazon. And there they were... 4ft silver coated cables.... the price made me th... | |
| How do I discharge the capacitors in my PS audio P20 ? noromance... this is do as I suggest not as I do. I have a 12 guage wire open at both ends taped to two round dowels and I just touch them to each pole. You do this at your own risk as the capacitor may go away. I haven't had it happen but it can.... | |
| How do I discharge the capacitors in my PS audio P20 ? Erik has the correct answer. Then after the wait place a pair of pliers across the two terminals of the capacitor to make sure it has discharged completely. | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp I agree with inna the Vac preamp would be worth your consideration. | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? No, I think I could find a good turntable for $3500 or less that would fit me just fine. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Yup has to sound good or it will grate on me enough to the point where I will get rid of it. | |
| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? I had a condo on the beach and played music often. I asked 3 different couples who rented the condo next door if they could hear my music and they all said no they couldn't. Then one day I was walking out my door and there was a note on my door sa... |
