| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I admired the Dahlquist DQ30i speakers in the early nineties. I bought a mint pair one year ago as the price was too good to ignore. ($800.00) I only have them on my television setup that includes a Sony video receiver. I have had numerous high en... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art I don't try to compare my home system to anything but other home systems. Where home systems excel is in the ability to serve on demand! How many times have you had tickets for any given event only to not feel up to snuff on that date? Try going t... | |
| Looking for a great cassette deck okay, I pulled the trigger and bought a Nakamichi 682ZX. I haven't received it yet. I'll make a recording of a tape from my denon deck and then the NAK. I'll share the results when done. I was intrigued by the auto azimuth feature it offered. Than... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Several reasons I listen to CD's; I have a ton of them. I get very little time to listen so I maximize the time by not "fussing" with LP's. I have an eclectic taste (a kind word!). Most of what I listen to isn't on ANY streaming channels. I'm not ... | |

| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! I dislike any gear that so departs from what you can fit into your equipment rack. I'm considering a Mola Mola DAC. To me it fits the ugly description | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre +1 on the Acoustic Zen Hologram. They don't add or take away anything from the soundstage. I'm also using Acoustic Zen speakers so they make all the more sense. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Mapman, if there's no statute of limitations on an answer; I got a good listening session on the MBL set up. I was in there while a reviewer occupied the sweet spot. I thought it was the best at the show. It sounded like it would not fatigue at an... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I didn't see anyone with a name tag or label. I was there Saturday and Sunday. Even the name tags of the vendors were difficult to read. It would be nice to meet a few people from here. Let's make something happen next year. Joe | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? OP, You didn't indicate if your friend wanted an opinion or not. If they merely turned it on for background music, case closed. Did your friend give any indication that they wanted your opinion? A few kind remarks could start a good conversation. ... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? In the folk music realm, drinking songs are endless. I'm at work. I can't spend the time thinking them up. Here is what might be THEE best drinking song ever! Stick To The Craythur by The Green Fields of America Stick To The Craythur (Live) | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 By all means, consider having a good electrician rewire your house for more than one reason. For starters, people who lived in your house before you may have tinkered with fixing and wiring themselves. I've seen Teflon wire used to run a "new" fix... | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers Be aware that if you buy a Modwright amp used, there is NO warranty! I'm running the Benchmark AHB2. I'm happy with them. Good luck. Joe | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used FYI, I'm one of them! | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Asking other people to pick out a speaker for you is akin to asking us to find a girlfriend for you. Speaker choice is more personal than any other component. You really need to go to an audio show and listen for yourself. |
