| Hum in speakers, and suggestions for stopping it If the amp is 5 years or older... a lot of the times is a capacitor or tube ageing. If you have restacked your components, the power from one may interfere with the other component if they aren't shielded from one another. Move any electrical devi... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? They look really cool and I love all 8 or mine. I don't really listen to them to be honest but they look good sitting on the rack. | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay With the price of some modern gear, I think most of us here could deplete our bank accounts completely. The idea is to not to. It's like looking at the beautiful woman across the room when you have an attractive wife sitting next to you. You have ... | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay To be honest, I decided to not go down that road long ago... I saw the cost early on and knew it could be a losing battle. If it would take a 10K tone arm to make you happy, I think sooner or later you wouldn't be happy with that. It's our nature ... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described I had something similar happen but it was the carrier who damaged the speakers and in this case, both you and the seller maybe right. The speakers are very heavy and ballerinas aren't the ones loading and unloading the speakers in the transport...... | |
| Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender I haven't heard the other two so don't know but I have hifi rose 150b and rose 250 and love them both. The rose 250 is half the price and as best I can tell does exactly the same as the 150b only half the size. It has an internal DAC. You can conn... | |

I have several pair of speakers including B&W CM6s which have the double bass drivers like the CM9s. The thing is if I had to live with the CM6s, I could do... | |
| Primer on SSD and internal hard drives Ok I am assuming that you bought a streamer with an internal SSD slot... Buying one and putting it in is a waste of time because when you burn more music you have to now find a way to put it on the SSD drive that is now screwed into the slot provi... | |
| New blog post: Living with Focal Speakers You took focal speakers apart to examine them? Sounds like some of the brilliant ideas I get sometimes. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... 7 subwoofers... what for... you'll probably go deaf before much longer so which one you pick doesn't matter. Anything higher than 95db starts moving you towards hearing loss. | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel Years ago I gave away my entire cd collection.... today I'm buying back all my must have cds as I can find. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong What made me an audiophile was a pair of my first speakers which were the old Kenwood speakers when they were made in Japan and not china like today. They aren't audiophile speakers but they were really really good and I thought all speakers sound... | |
| Recommendations for 7 channel amp Don't save your money... better to just get a 4 channel and hook all of them up. | |
| Contact for Price I don't and wouldn't respond to an ad saying contact for price. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @mirolab Actually it wasn't me who asked... I was sitting in a chair in the front row when another audiophile walked over and asked the price. I happened to overhear the conversation. As the price being on the brochure, whether it was or not.... i... |
