| My experience with The Music Room Quite often, 'open-box' items were unsealed just so they can sell it below the list price, as some vendors/manufacturers will not let retailers sell their new gear for under that. Once the box has been unsealed, it is no longer 'new' and the retai... | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Whatever you get better be the same height and have the speakers at the same angle as the real stands or the speakers will not sound as they were designed to be. | |
| Hardware or source materail I think the better use of funds would be to buy more of those double-45 RPM albums; I've got several myself, and the sound is amazing no matter what they're played on. Of course it may sound better with more expensive gear, but I could say the sam... | |
| Hearing aid question @signaforce - yeah, maybe in the future there will be something like that. I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years now and tend to upgrade them every 4 or 5 years. They have gotten better and most have 'music' programs and very basic Bass, Mid, a... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s I have had those too, and they're superb. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s I've been using Black Dragon headphone cables from Moon Audio for both my Utopia and my Susvara; they are very good and should be in your general price range if you'd like to investigate. | |
| Hearing aid question Would audiophile hearing aids be any good for helping to understand speech in different environments, or would you need a 2nd pair of hearing aids for that? I would be a customer for audiophile hearing aids, but I'd need them to perform just as we... | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Probably not if you want the speakers to sound like they were designed to be. | |
| Hearing aid question Headphones are at just as much a disadvantage without hearing aids as speakers are; I never knew what my headphones actually sounded like until I started using in-canal hearing aids with them. @peter_s - It would be nice if you could, but no, yo... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records I don't know what you got, but some of those more inexpensive ultrasonic machines are not made for records but rather for things like jewelry. I bought a DeGritter about 3 years ago and have cleaned thousands of records in it and it still works l... | |
| Hearing aid question You can get top level hearing aids at Costco for about $1500/pair. I just did that a few weeks ago (I used to pay about $3000 each for the same quality). I've been wearing hearing aids for over 20 years, and the improvement it has made in music li... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? This is why warranties come with time periods. You're lucky they offered to do what they did; good luck! | |
| Great song by the Clash Always one of my favorites, whether the original by Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash's great cover. I also love their song 'Jail Guitar Doors'. The Clash do a lot of great crime-related songs... | |
| RIP. Johnny Barbata He was an excellent drummer who died last week. RIP John.... In an obit, the writer for the San Francisco Chronicle described him as the drummer from the 'classic Jefferson Airplane lineup', and when he mentioned the other 'classic lineup' member... |
