| Subwoofer for Kef LS50 Wireless II? Hello, I own two Rel T9’s. With the Speakon connections they sound really good. The store in the Chicagoland area has both of the new KEF subwoofers.https://holmaudio.com/ They both claim to play down to 11hz at -3bd, but the bigger one which is t... | |
| Interesting thought Hello, I just read about this gold bar in LA that has 8,000 albums and has a dj spin them on a nice system. Maybe the thinking needs to be shifted to coffee shops. I hear musicians playing in coffee shops and even Potbelly sandwich shops. Bring in... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Hello,This upgrading fuses situation is one of the reasons why I am going with Ayre equipment. They gave up on fuses and came up with something that not only sounds better but is also more reliable. I know some houses still have fuses on the main... | |
| Dynaudio Heritage Special or Gershman Studio 2?? Hello,I am going to recommend the KEF Reference 1. Even though they are slightly above the budget I think a dealer will deal. Plus, I have been told they have really good sales at KEF through the dealers. This is what I am waiting for. Another app... | |
| Insuring Your Vinyl Collection and Equipment Hello, Try Lloyd’s of London. If they will insure someone’s body parts, they should insure anything else. Keep a couple digital copies of your stuff in your house. Documents, pictures of product model and version-pressings and wax track, and a pic... | |

| Make way for the future.... Hello,I think this newish all in one solution is great for what it is. The new BlueSound Powernode is supposed to have more power and HDMI ARC. Everyone has their phone with them anyways so you can control the App. From your portable device. Do yo... | |
| True or False? Hello,I feel like I am going to get a verbal beat down for this. Every audiophile should try a Puritan PSM156 power conditioner. It doesn’t matter what media you prefer to play. That’s the beauty. It improves every component plugged into it. Each ... | |
| Pure analog system with high power Hello,The one killer in all of this is the Maggie’s. They need the right amp to drive them. Not just power but damping factor. I would go with a Hegel 120. I know it seems low at 75watts. The main thing is the damping factor. This amp will push yo... | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB Hello,You might want to go with Tekton. I am positive the Moab or double impacts can handle this. The Revel Salon 2s could handle this but we are talking a $17,000 difference in speaker cost. You could go with what speaker you like and add a JL Au... | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable Hello, I am going to recommend Straightwire for getting a 20 foot speaker cable at $1,000 or less. Most people don’t know this but Straightwire is used in tons of different manufacturers. Very high end stuff. This wire is one of the best value for... | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? Hello,I own the Node 2i and love it. There are better DACs like a Lumin D2. Based on what you are using it for do not upgrade by getting a cheap DAC. I have compared that DAC in the Node 2i with other DACs costing more than the Node2i. Unless you ... | |
| Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex Hello,My recommendation is put the Romex in a bx shield. Basically do both. You can prevent the mice and have the good cable. This should be legal. |
