What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature
Sorry for the response delay-was getting past my hangover🙃. For those who asked, I’m running my analog thru my Rhea and Calypso. For my Theta Miles, I’m going into Kora Hermes II, then into my dbx 360 and then into my Casablanca. My amps are Ev 60...

@tomic601 Thanks for the kudos. That was a long time ago. Does my heart good to read encouraging comments.

@lewm  Thanks for your input. I love  my sound. Was perplexed by Rauls comment. I’m listening to “Crime of the century”. I’ve had this lp since I was in school(1975) and it still sounds pristine.  I’ve learned a lot reading threads about vinyl. My...

@gestalt :Thank you for your opinion. I agree, Just looking for someone who had, or has the same equipment.  
What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature
@sdrsdrsdr  Your correct. Sometimes I don’t check spellcheck. Chastising me for my spelling isn’t helpful. I see many who make grammatical errors, but never see anyone chastise them for it. I was hoping to find someone who had the same equipment, ... 
Is there such a thing as too much power?
+1 for Cakyol, Mapman,Arctikdeth,Atmasphere and others.  High current amps are what is needed, not necessarily high wattage amps, unless you’re pushing high efficiency horn loaded speakers, or something like them, although they usually go hand in ... 
End of the World system
+1 for shtinkydog and mapman. Lighten up folks-it was a good senario.  
Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts
@noble 100:Ii have two Krell EV-600 monoblocks and two JL Fathom 13’s.  I have not had to increase the subs volume, or turn up my preamps volume since utilizing the dbx unit.  It has a max output of +22 dBu through balanced outputs.  You can also ... 
Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts
I have wrestled with sub integration for years, until I purchased a DBX Venue 360. You can control your main speaker delay or sub delay.  This unit is designed for live stage performance, but cured my subwoofer problem completely.  You should real... 
Cat jumped on turntable
+1 for Cleeds. Didn't read the rest-too busy, but I would bet my ex-wife that's what it is. 
Which Dynaudio or Wilson Speakers for My Room Size?
@cb815:  I have a pair of Wilson Max II’s in a room that’s about 400 sq ft. With 9’ ceilings.  I’m using two Krell EV 600  monoblocks and have plenty of power, having my preamp set about half way up.  You can probably find a set of these used for ... 
Subwoofer rumble issue
@paulgardner: I had the rumble problem for quite a while. I built a suspended TT platform that is isolated from the floor and walls, using dampened springs. I also recently purchased a DBX Venue Driverack 360. I haven’t had a problem since. It inc... 
Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it?
In my opinion, many here have hit on it.  Much of what was recorded back in day, as far as popular music, was recorded where much of the highs and specially the lows, were rolled off, because in general most buyers didn’t have the capacity to repr... 
What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?
There are many different factors that can make a speaker sound “faster,” but in my opinion, the biggest factor is the class bias of the amp.  I’ve made this analogy before.  A class B bias amp is like a dragster sitting on the starting line with t... 
Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr
I owned a pair of Martin Logan Monoliths and truly enjoyed their sound. One problem is, there is a very narrow sweet spot.   The other is, I measured a peak high frequency of around 11K. Very unique sounding, but like the sound of a conventional s...
