| Your last concert was to see who and when? King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last week at the Gorge. This band is amazing and they're peaking right now. Every show this tour was top notch. There were no off nights. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @dover "When you buy something like DAS plinth you are buying weetbix wrapped in xmas paper." That's a little harsh, no? I think most (maybe all) DAS plinths are 100% birch ply (not counting the veneer obviously) with the exception of the ones... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lalitk What specifically do you not like about the DAS plinth? I believe yours is constructed with a slab of MDF on the top. That's how he builds the plinths with the radiused edges because he can't wrap the radiused edges with veneer. If it... | |
| why expensive streamers @soix - That was exactly my experience. | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps Does anyone unplug all the electronics in their house... My stereo is easily the most expensive and hardest to replace, so I naturally unplug it. I also unplug my computers and welders, but they're just expensive. | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps @tattooedtrackman that's exactly how I unplug my amps, crossover, and powerstrip every time a storm rolls through (I just did it again, actually). It's easier for me to do it at the component than at the wall. | |
| why expensive streamers I went from a Node 2 to a used Aurender that cost $1,800 a few years ago and had no expectations. I was blown away at the difference. You can now buy the same streamer for around 1K. The "streamers make no difference" people are typically those... | |

| How would you spend my next $5K? I win, lol! 😀 | |
| Rediscovered My album collection. Where to buy online. @grislybutter what is the point of buying a new vinyl and not streaming or buying the same content on a CD? Many newly pressed vinyl releases are new AAA tape transfers that are not available on CD or streaming platforms. Tone Poet, Atlantic... | |
| Rediscovered My album collection. Where to buy online. Amazon is one of the best places to buy vinyl as long as you have Prime/free returns. The packaging is usually great (record mailer inside another box) and returns are simple if there's an issue with the record. | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors @ozzy - It’s interesting that you get the best sound with the speakers 60" from the front wall. That’s exactly what the Cardas calculator for dipoles recommends for your room dimensions (well, 59.28" to be exact). | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors @ozzy you should also look into ATS Acoustic's QRD diffusers. They're similar to GIK's, but they're a better value (lower cost per square foot of wall coverage). They will also custom make them in any height you want for a minimal upcharge. Ano... | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment Start with bass traps to get the low end under control first. This should be the first step in treating a room. Measure the room as is and then as you add treatments so you aren’t just guessing. You really can never have too much bass trapping. Go... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Address room acoustics. You should be able to treat the whole thing with that budget or less and the improvement will be orders of magnitude greater than spending 5k on gear. |
