| Warped record Of course you can see why Amazon is not an ideal vendor to being giving special care to vinyl when they are shipping millions of products a day from hundreds of warehouses. | |
| Improving a stone rack Yes, I was, my first career. Lots of folks from the department went to Skaergaard. This was in the mid 70s when they were just unraveling the sedimentary features of the crystals inside the chamber. Crystal turbidities and the chemical differentia... | |
| Don’t look for perfection. That is great. I’m thinking it may depend somewhat on one’s personality. I have to admit that as technology has improved and flaws become less common… CD playback sound quality improved, streaming happened and the sound quality equaled and ex... | |
| Improving a stone rack @jallan I wonder which gabbro complex they got it from, Skaergaard, Bushveld, Muskox, Duluth? | |
| Warped record @rvpiano …Only this new one which I exchanged for a more warped one! … It doesn’t happen often… but once in a while problems compound. I ordered from Amazon about four or maybe five times. I remember returning two of them, both warps. I don’... | |
| Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp? Also, I would think that having the speakers pointed towards the non-wall would help with tuning / treatments. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @jerry_b2 😁👍 | |

| The time has come and I request advice... +1 Aurender. I would not go the Roon route, costs, adds complications, not much of a long term future. Aurender Conductor app is well regarded. It is improving as well. | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... I would look at VPI. The VPI Scout 21 would be a good choice. My first foray into high end tables was a VPI. It was a great choice. I think I prefer heavy tables overall. | |
| Records and CDs OP, 👍 | |
| Has anyone abandoned stereo for atmos for music? Op, 👍 | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @jfrmusic 😊 @aewarren 😂 @pindac Wow, a social high end audio guy. Didn’t think one existed. The Venn diagram of audiophile does not intersect with that of social humans. I think I have had four folks over to hear my system in twenty years. | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey It is worth taking some time and listening to some different speakers. If you want very musical speakers then I would recommend looking for some used Sonus Faber Olympica 1 or Olympica Nova 1. These are very musical. Focal tends to be really detai... |
