| Subwoofer RCA Cable I always try to buy a relatively inexpensive subwoofer cable from a well known company. Although, I have not heard a difference… I have not done a real study of differences. For me, it is “just in case”. Most people don’t notice… I think a few ca... | |
| Where to go from here? This is a hard question. From what you say, you are trying to make a huge jump…. Great idea. But if you make it too long (like years) in between the purchase of one really great component and the rest. You have a couple other mediocre components b... | |
| Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime Yes. I gave up and am getting rid of my CDs. Keeping my vinyl (2,000)… I should be able to do that… now, streaming that is a problem. | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? Nice system. A great looking room. Looking at your system my guess is the subwoofers are overloading the room with bass. I assume with the subs turned off you do not have the problem with the turntable? I would start here. I am fortunate to h... | |
| Paper cone drivers/natural materials @kenjit You’ll probably like a Rolex then… beautiful and made out of the finest materials and keeps terrible time. Sorry I want great sound… | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? @jjss49 🤣🤪👍 | |

| Words of wisdom on choosing a speaker OP… “Most audiophiles dont even realize they are not satisfied, which is ignorance.” Speak for yourself. I have been an audiophile for fifty years. While my values have changed over time… the very essence of audiophile is incredibly well educated... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? @pokey77. so when you were running an ER you got a lot of patients that had sustained burns from EtherRegen? | |
| Unfinished basement listening room 😊👍 | |
| Paper cone drivers/natural materials Absolutely zero influence. The main drivers in my Sonus Faber are paper cones. This does not mean they rolled up a piece copy paper to make the cones. They are highly sophisticated with bonding agents very unlike what we think of as paper and sand... | |
| Chime in if you bought a second table that cost a fraction of your main table. I did this kind of in reverse. I had my AR turntable stored because my Phonostage only had on input. After upgrading my Phonostage, I finally had two sets of inputs. So, at long last I was able to hook up my beloved AR next to my Linn. That probab... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable @rbstehno …”Before I spend $25k on any set of speakers, my room must be in perfect shape/treated so I can get the best out of my speaker.” Interesting approach. With the exception of not getting speakers that are wildly inappropriate in size, ... | |
