| Need help buying new speaker cable I like the idea of repairing your cable.I wanted Analysis Plus Crystal Solo Oval 8 but they were too expensive. Then, I saw a 14ft single length of it for sale used for 600. I bought it, sent it to AP and they cut and terminated it for 130 buck. T... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO Have *both* REL and Rythmik and have compared extensively, too. Both are good. Rythmik has no weak bass response or lack of dynamics in my room and no delay in the sound. Jim Salk, a top-notch speaker maker, uses Rythmiks in his custom subs.Still,... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I have a REL and like it a lot, but I chose Rythmik because it's good a great reputation and is a servo sub that is eminently adjustable. | |
| Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier Did you all see this nice review? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI1aKWbxxpE&ab_channel=ABritishAudiophile | |
| Is it ever enough? Typical human beings like to *do* as well as *enjoy.* "Tinkering" is a perfect word -- it's like "sauntering" or "rambling." It's an activity which produces enjoyment via interaction.There is an old trope about "audiophilia nervosa" which always g... | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… Great review -- thanks for all the hard work. Gestalt audio looks great too; unless I missed something, there is virtually no information on their website -- no details about the store, space, prices, etc. I’m sure this is the "in" place for audio... | |

| One man Band Don't have a favorite Eno album and he often does use other musicians, but not always. Sometimes he does what you're describing. | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? Good footers for your speakers will decouple the speakers from the room. You will get crisp bass and way smoother mids and highs. This comment stunned me. Maybe it's something huge that I overlooked but I thought that the bass waves being produc... | |
| Best new musical flooring for flooded basement @builder3 Thanks. It does. We got an engineered wood --Bruce Hydropel -- which says it’s waterproof. For whatever it’s worth, we’re in Colorado and never have flooding. | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @stuartk I have front ported speakers. I’ve learned that the physics of bass is so room-dependent, that if pulling them out as far as you have doesn’t address the issue, the location of the speakers ports won’t matter. Bass radiates.Listening posi... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? It seems like you have a very good integrated, and that the power it provides for your speaker is more than adequate. Bass is so much a function of the room that I would strongly suspect that if subs and traps/treatments are off the table, you hav... | |

| Best new musical flooring for flooded basement Interested in the suggestions here.QUESTION: If there is concrete beneath the flooring put down (LVF, etc.) will it make a big difference? @corelliUse a solid vinyl product as mentioned by builder. It is the only logical choice. Why is engineered... |
