8 track CRUSHES CD,Vinyl and everything else!!!
Agreed......tape is the most natural medium. I bought 8 track tapes when they first came out. The most attractive selling appeal was to those who wanted good sound in the car. Car players, in the day, were far from quality units and, over time, th... 
Whats your take on a NAD 3020, I truly believe it defined stereo and still does!
After reading reviews of many amps and, in particular, the NAD 3020, I was impressed with how many folks were impressed with the musical performance of the 3020 compared with products costing much more in the day.My most recent purchase was a NAD ... 
Do you ever do this before you listen?
rschrot......You are correct in your basic knowledge with the anatomy of the ear. However, that doesn't explain away the danger of someone puffing with a closed nose just to hear their music better.Extreme pressure can cause damage to ear componen... 
Brand New Warped albums!
cleeds was the first to offer the most effective way to flatten warped records....heat and pressure. I have not used Vinyl Flat but it seems that you can get the same results for a lot less money.Home oven temperatures can vary greatly from what t... 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
If using an active crossover that also has capability to connect a sub(s) and vary crossover points for the main speakers and the sub(s), my understanding is to set the crossover on the sub to it's highest value and then use the crossover to set t...

Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
The integration of a sub(s) is one of the most popular topics discussed in these forums. Beside the choice of a particular sub the most important is placement in the listening environment. Each room is different.You didn't state your main objectiv... 
My first PSB Speaker Purchase. Need some help.
I am using a pair of PSB Imagine B with 2 subs. The sound is really good. Since the Imagine B's with subs is kinda a substitute for floor standers, I realize the trade off. After buying the Imagine's I have read in multiple forums that the Synchro... 
New $24,000 inter-connect
You never know what super deals will come along. 24K.....must be a gem. I was in a McDonalds for breakfast the other day. A diner next to me had the same sandwich.....a bacon/egg/cheese biscuit. His looked and smelled so much better than the one I... 
Hi Fi Tuning fuses
Here comes the fuse police..........Those who have convinced themselves that the change to "audiophile" fuses and experienced audio improvements have probably exhausted all other methods to improve a system's performance. While not ready to admit ... 
Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now
I can only speak in reference to NAD gear mentioned by other posters. If you pursue that route look at sites that have the NAD 3020 integrated amp for sale. That amp has been out of production for quite some time but in the used market you may be ... 
Drink of choice for serious listening?
Ahh...this is a question that is truly aimed at the masses. I live in a rustic environment. When I'm really in the mood to do some serious music listening things have to be perfect. First, the drink. A large tumbler of Golden Grain with just a das... 
Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
I went from a Sony CDP (5 disc carousel) to a NAD C546BEE a couple of years ago and have been very satisfied. It goes for $500. While not a requirement at the time, I find the USB input to be very useful. NAD has been changing their model lineups ... 
Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations
I also have a Pioneer PL-530 table. Bought it in the 70's new and haven't had the choice or finances to upgrade to something "much" better. Besides whatever treatments and cleaning you do to your records there are a couple of things you should con... 
What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital?
bassdude....you are completely correct. So many factors come into play when comparing the quality of sound between digital and analog. When the digital explosion came about a few decades ago many were excited about the convenience and relatively l...
