AGON screening to filter out crap new posts has regressed back to the pits..
I sent my concerns to Tammy and I am waiting for a response. I do wish people wouldn't try to make cute remarks or make people feel stupid.  If we all knew everything, why would we need this discussion group. I realize some of these discussions ... 
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
Funny you should start this discussion, as I just sent a message to Tammy with my own concerns. I joined this group because I am a beginner and I want to learn more about how to create a better sounding system.  However, nearly every discussion i... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I think many in this group tend to split hairs on trying to improve their system.  I think it would be very beneficial to use the knowledge in this group and discuss what is the next step to improve their system.  For example, do I buy better spea... 
Capital Audiofest, save thyself!
I totally agree with you.  I have them play three songs that truly are some of the best songs to demonstrate a systems capabilities.  We know in most cases what recordings show of a sound system.  We also know what kinds of music we like to play o... 
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
You should try going to the Magnolia store in Lone Tree, Colorado.  The manager there is the most unfriendly person on the planet and then he expects you to buy something from him.  Our largest dealer in town with the best lines have sales people ... 
Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
I keep hearing the name Luxman 509X.  I just wish I had the budget for this. 
Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging...
There is a local dealer that specializes in Master Setting speakers.I started out with my speakers closer to the back wall and as soon as I placed them 18 inches from the back wall and measure each speaker's distanced from the left and right wall ... 
High Fidelity Sound Speaker
I wonder what speakers priced between $5,000 to $10,000 sound better.  It would be helpful if a sound engineer were to list the best speakers in order rather than the dealers and manufactures who list them online.  I doubt Focal is going to list P... 
Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.
Right now, I cannot understand why anyone would use a turn table with today's streaming technologies.  I must admit the $20,000 turn tables are gorgeous.  But tracking a record with a needle produces a lot of noise.  Also, digital amplifiers like ... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
I wish offensive remarks would be eliminated from our discussion and perhaps those doing so would be removed from the discussion group.  This certainly makes people uneasy for posting their questions in the first place.  If this is allowed to cont... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
Look at Synergistic Research.  They make high quality products.  Ask for Jason Ressler when you call.  He is extremely knowledgeable and honest.  Tell him Larry from Denver sent you.  You will really talking to him.  One of the most knowledgeable ... 
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I am not an expert, but I always thought you went with tower speakers was to create a bigger sound stage.  Why do some systems sound better because they created a sound stage to allow the listener to visualize their sound. 
For SACD fans only
Who listens to CD’s these days when you can stream hi res Tidal? 
What song have you played the most?
Maybe You’re the Reason by The Japanese House.  Best quality recording I have ever heard.  Great demo song for your sound system. 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
I wonder how many have blind tested speaker cables.  It would be fun if the person conducting the test would tell the participant they were listening to the most expensive cable when in fact they were listening to the least expensive.  Perhaps the...
