| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Blonde on Blonde + 1 I would be fine with one of these 3 also Abbey Road Out of the Blue Spencer Davis group - the best of the - not to cheat but their LP releases are all over the map | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market This may be the most asked question in the aspiring audiophile’s mind: best speaker for $2500 ($5000 new in the used market) followed by "but what amp now???" I know it’s a cliche but Dynaudio Contour 20 (the Evoke 30 is on sale for ridiculous p... | |
| Vinyl record cleaning I also tried the local waterfall. Hold the records where the pressure is the highest, if they break, use the oven the meld them back together. Nature always works the best. | |
| Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps I moved 4 times between Europe and the US with hi-fi gear and used basic (but not cheapest junk) converters without any problem for decades. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @gb9746 that's pretty cool. regarding the stands, that's exactly what I predicted (I know nothing about the sound so I criticize the design :) ) Their size puts them between categories: too big as a bookshelf, not tall enough to sit on the floor... | |
| What now? @twilightround you are special :) you can try Crutchfield and Amazon 60 days no cost about 8 great brands combined. I would say your room is OK but your listening position is definitely a little unusual. Because of your space, culturally, I wou... | |

| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market my winner was the Dynaudio, close 2nds were Totem, SF and Revel speakers. your post is confusing, I don't get it | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? @garebear I see your point, it's a hit or miss. I was lucky, most of my questions generated very useful responses. half of the discussions here are pretty lame, I am here for the other half... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @dsnyder0cnn you are correct, I thought of that afterwards. I should have said "from the finished product" I can also add, the whole vinyl pressing process doesn't fix, alter, improve, up or down sample the grooves | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? @garebear you expected us to stay on-topic? :) | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @mahler123 even if the source was digitized, the vinyl will be analog. It will be different but still analog. Analog is not always or sometimes better. It's always different. I have 2 or 3 copies of my favorite LPs and CDs, Each LP sounds very... | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? @larry5729 if I had money to buy them, I'd probably pay off my mortgage, buy a 10K speaker from my wish list and be happy as a mutt. (I'd have some money left for paying off student loans) | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? There is no material that miraculously converts sound energy into heat I am pretty sure women can do that (btw you mean waves?) | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @cleeds What makes you think that? overanalyzing everything. |
