| What was your first record? Sugar and Spice by The Cryan’ Shames. 1963 | |
| Streamer for Goldmund Telos 7 built in DAC? I own two Aurreder streamers and have auditioned others. I highly recommend them, the N200 or N20. Outstanding sound and build quality, and support on all of their models. I recommend keeping the DAC and streamer separate. I fine DHLabs a reliab... | |
| Martin Logan on it's side for center channel ?? No. I am sure that will not work well. The floor stander was made to stand. As @erik_squires pointed out Martin Logan makes several center channels. | |
| Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32 Personally, I would not. I have been a Pass fan for frothy years. First moving from Pass preamps, which have never been nearly as good as their amps, to Audio Research. Then moving to Audio Research. Pass makes great equipment. But most fo... | |
| Maximum Upgrade Potential You don’t. Because, even if you get the very best of today (I am an Audio Research fan). By the time you break it in and enjoy it for a few years, there will be a new model that is a step up. Practically speaking. While if you love a certain c... | |
| Being alone with your music In 1963 when I was eleven laying in bed listening to the light turquoise plastic clock radio, on came the first time ever Beatles song played in the US. It was on WLS. I was completely overwhelmed with the amazing sound. Later I would spend late ... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? OP, Yea, looks like that includes both types. | |
| Costliest Brainfart OP, wow, really sorry to hear your story. I have done a few things revealing my poor judgement. Maybe, look at this as an opportunity to rethink all the things you have learned and get a new turntable, | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? @dabel Have you ever owned a high quality one? They are completely in a league of their own. Nothing like a t-shirt… or any other cotton product. Many times softer, lighter. There are different categories of microfiber cloths… there are t... | |
| SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control @oddiofyl +1 | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers I typically listen at the 65 to 75 db area. But I occasionally crank it into the 80db area, it sounds great. If you are listening at an average spl of 85 that is very loud. If you are talking about occasionally peaks touching 85… that is just lou... | |
| Audio Research LS2SE tube buzzing Yep, that is the right thing. Very convenient to have them nearby. | |
| Dedicated line (almost) Homes are wired so that’s single breaker has no outlets next to each other. But following them should be very illuminating. | |
| Dedicated line (almost) I do not believe you cannot cheat and get the majority of benefits. A direct line, takes the shortest distance between a breaker box and the outlet, it does not go wandering off and connect additional outlets (even if unused… these are sources of... | |
| Best setup for office I developed my office system over about twelve years. I am 100% a woo fan (I have 3 Woo amps)… so that. Denon not so much. Too much bass… not well balanced. So I guess Fostex, by process of elimination. My headphone system got moved home after... |
