| Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker? @jjss49 Great video… I appreciated the first topic most… although his comments on the Quads are correct to my memory as well. | |
| Technics SU-R1000 OP, Room treatments and system placement? | |
| How did you get started in this hobby @bigtwin Yeap… you got it. | |
| How do you like the Headphone Section in your Luxmans? @erik_squires I think this is common. I have heard this kind of thing before. It is an afterthought… better have this function. Why I chose a separate headphone amp (Woo) and found it incredible. I think most companies just add it to add anot... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? @jumia I have been at this for fifty years. One by one I have switched each of my components to tubed components. My systems have sounded better and better over the decades… my current by far the best. I would not be even remotely interested int... | |
| Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker? @mglik I am always surprised when I haven’t used a piece of equipment for a while and it goes through breakin over again… the weirdest is a power cord moved.. requires a few days to settle down.

| Technics SU-R1000 @nonoise +1 Every experience I have with an equalizer has been negative… as in reducing the overalll sound quality. So, yeah… just break in and enjoy it. My experience is that equalizers are attempts at symptomatic relief… but which neve... | |
| New equipment @rvpiano Well maybe audio is like sailing to you… it is about the process, not the destination. I like sailing but in audio I cherish the destination when all the pieces are at the same performance level, are synergistic, and I am out of ... | |
| new kef ls60s just arrived Cool. Thanks. | |
| Technics SU-R1000 What you described as the dire warning sounds like it says: do not do what you would like to do. There is little difference between connecting the pre-out to the amp in and dong same with and equalizer. I certainly understand your quandary. | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Paradym shift. When I first got a steamer which sounded as good as my other sources I typically did what I have done for the last fifty years… searched my memory for an album on the streaming service and play it. Ocationally it was not there… bu... | |
