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... 
Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad
It’s well known, that anything in the triangle of your speakers and listening position is not good.  As many have said here, a lot depends on your source as well.  Having a vinyl set up between your speakers is the second worse place you can locat... 
Theta Miles
@pehare :  I'm not certain exactly which transport it uses, however there are many on this forum that can probably tell you.  
Theta Miles against Jolida JD100
This thread is umteen years old, but I just replaced my optics on my Miles and it's almost 25 years old.  I still love it. 
Theta Miles
@tooblue :  I started to throw them in my box, but it's already full :) 
Theta Miles
@pehare :  I went on EBAY.  Looked everywhere else, but no reputable sellers.  Check this guy out: Meliu_liu@hotmail.com.  Very friendly and quick!You may want to check elsewhere on your player.  Check all your connections,etc.  Hard to believe yo... 
Room improvement
You can have a $500,000 system and if your room is lacking, you will never realize the sound quality that you could have if your room was properly or at least semi-properly tuned.  It's like running regular fuel in a high performance motor.  The p... 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
I’ve had Krell KMA-160’s and Pass 250’s (I think those were the ones) and now have Krell EV 600’s.  The 160’s was my first experience with pure class A bias amps.  I .loved them, but just didn’t have enough power.  I was pushing Martin Logan Monol... 
Subwoofer Integration with Transmission Line Speakers
I have tried any ways to properly integrate my subs with my mains. After trying a deqx primate plus, I finally went with a DBX Driverack 360.  It is very versatile with delay settings for mains and both parametric, “Q” adjustment and of course gra... 
To all that has a Theta Miles CD player
One more thing. Since I started using my Kora Hermès II, I no longer have a problem with digital lock. Every note comes through very clearly. I think that’s all  It’s late and I’m tired. Any advice will be appreciated.
