| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? I buy a new stylus every week. New ones are usually come clean. If only I had known there was a way to clean them? | |
| Focal v Wilson @edelbby speakers are very personal. I do believe you can get fantastic speakers for 3K easily, especially used. these are the ones I would audition: Dynaudio, Totem, Fyne, Harbeth, Revel, Paradigm. These are great values, $ for $ | |
| Focal v Wilson here are some 20K speakers >>>> https://speakerchoices.com/ | |
| subwoofers I bought a (2) splitter for this as well, worked fine. | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system @llg98ljk strange post indeed. What does it have to do with the post? Luckily I am ignorant and clueless enough to enjoy a 3 figure system :) | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system M Ward and The Be Good Tanyas always sound like they are in the room, and kicking boxes on the floor. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta @vthokie83 that's a great story. I do think highly of the Buchardts. However, buying new speakers was my biggest mistake. I spent an enormous amount on my speakers and I could have saved 50% if I had bought used. And I could have spent that on ano... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta whether or not these are audiophile speakers KEF is one of the largest speaker manufacturers. I'd say it's a brand across inexpensive consumer products to high end audiophile speakers, from 500 to 50K. Strictly speaking a $1500 speaker would f... | |
| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers For me, Parasound power amp didn't pair well with Dynaudio. Simaudio is a fantastic choice but way pricier. You will find more JC5 on the used markets than the other ones, so you could add a few other, niche brands to your list? | |
| Vintage Turntable Recommendation there are a lot of 80s' Duals out there, including on shopgoodwill.com. Don't be fooled by the price, the sellers who ask $4-500 may have "from estate sale" never tested items that you can buy from original or second owners for under $250. There a... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta since you seem to be concerned with whether it's a audiophile speaker, perhaps you should listen to a bookshelf speaker of a higher class - e.g. see list >> such as Dynaudio Special 40, JA Prism, Harbeth P3ESR, Totem Signature One, Amphion ... | |
| Audiophile frame of mind @audioquest4life all my grills had rust and I had to part with them when the bottom fell out, literally. And cleaning is a breeze, I wouldn't want to deal with gas burners and the grease. | |
| How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear? 30 minutes. In that time, I would have fixed anything that might affect it, where I sit, what I play, what I might have missed, crossed connections, etc. | |
| Audiophile frame of mind @dhite71 I buy the dingiest Home Depot grill, for $19, $29, last time I think it was $39. It has 4 legs and a cover which seems like a fancy feature to me. I use wood from trees around the yard/dead branches and I have no imagination to figure out... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! @immatthewj I stand corrected. Not "skipping on their meds" but overdosing on something hardcore. On a serious note: I am too scared to know my neighbor's political views, it's stressful enough to know my relatives'. Why would I want to know t... |
