| room size question. btw I have nothing against Jay but he seems to be a gear guy not a music first guy. I prefer NRD and Zero Fidelity, budget and solutions conscious dudes. I imagine Jay has a zillion dollar gear in every room in his house. | |
| room size question. I am a midfi dummy, I don't know even know the proper difference between 3D and soundstage. I guess room has a lot to with it. I only get a clear soundstage with the minority of my LPs. Hardly ever with CDs. Since I added a sub, I often get a mor... | |

| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @jerrygarcia when would you stop and take a yes for an answer? | |
| Trying to hook up Totem 1 Bookshelf’s ….. i never heard a room going from "room sounds horrible" to "great" after room treatment. If the speakers are placed correctly and you are sitting in the sweet spot, you should expect going from good to great or at most OK to great. Unless the room... | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) I have had the Marantz CD6006 for about 5 years, pretty solid. I guess you can call it basic, not the cheapest but just one step up | |
