How many of you are digital only systems?
   Digital vs analog or both. I have both and appreciate the qualities of each. The convenience of digital is certainly a big plus. However, each media is at the mercy of the quality of the recording. Both have excellent and lousy results.   Analo...

I have learned to respect millercarbon's opinions. Also, I have traveled down the road to the integration of subs.If you have the patience to really understand the science about sub placement, settings, etc. read this article. It's quite large but... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
   My turntable is neither shelf wall mounted or resting on a bedrock type of base. My table is an older one with no built in springs or other dampening devices. My house is over 100 years old, second floor, and moves slightly with season changes....

Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500

SS Budget "Tone" Integrated Amplifiers
   There are lots of amps new and used to chose from. I can't overstate what I've posted before....The amp and speakers must have synergy. Great amps and some great speakers may sound great or lousy together. I have experienced that more than once... 
thoughts on the bose 501 speakers
   First....I have joined many others in criticism of Bose speakers in the past. I'm not sure what your aim is here. To purchase the 501's as superior speakers to the 901's or just to see what other opinions are?   Many years ago I went down the B... 
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch?
   I can't speak about half speed recordings but I can offer some advice on your TT. I also have a Pioneer PL-530 which I bought new many years ago. Due to the age of these tables it may have been very long, if ever, the speed pots were cleaned or... 
What is better, analog or digital?
   In a short reply speakermaster hit the nail on the head..."the recording quality". Digital can outclass vinyl if compared to a worn out record or a record not representative of the mastering of it at the time. So many selections of LP's out the...

PSB Owners
   drowe....Thanks for your input. However, the PSB Imagine B speakers I am using are bookshelf speakers and not floor standers. PSB puts a "B" after the model name to designate what type of speakers they are. My original post was to ask PSB owner... 
Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns?
   hobo1452 is probably the only one to grasp the point of my original post...."Point of diminishing returns". That term in itself is one that is mostly based on personal opinion. At what point does one say "that's the best I can do"? There are al... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
   Opinions are personal views. Everyone has them about everything. When you find someone who shares yours it's gratifying in the sense that confirms that yours is most accurate.     The subject of speaker cables is another one that can only open ... 
Vanatoo speakers - should I get them for hifi sound?
   I am not familiar with the Zero speakers. But, I have to echo a remark from goose about Bose. Have traveled the audio road for many years and have owned all types of equipment. In my early years, and now, Bose was touted, mostly by the company,...
