Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
You started this conversation with an idea that you know what a good system sounds like, and he does not. No offense but, what are the chances you are wrong?   
Proac Response 3.8 stereo imaging is not centered
Hi kb3, You can get drivers for Response 3.8 directly from ProAc, as I did several years ago. The two bottom drivers are identical. I paid around $800 each. In a review in Stereophile, I think they said these drivers were modified for ProAc, so I... 
Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them?
First, I heard ProAc Response 2, and I liked them. Then, I heard Response 3 and their sound stuck in my had as the best I have ever heard. However, they were way beyond my reach, so I purchased Response 2. At some point later, I heard Response 2.5... 
Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system
Hello classicalpiano, I am using a relatively primitive combination of audio and video and it works fine for me. My Oppo blue ray player is connected to my pre-amp with a pair of RCA IC's. Oppo is connected with a projector with an HDMI cable. My... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Hello all, I have no intentions of insulting anyone, but... For years, I used a pair of silver cables I made myself (~$100) for my CD player (CAL Icon 2 to Klyne System 7 ver. 4 pre-amp), a pair of Discovery cables to my amps (Lectron JH-50 and ... 
The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition
So, Linn is closing on Oracle? Now, Oracle Delphi is only 633 times better than the Linn! Lectronjh50  
Subwoofer recommendation
It would make a lot of sense that you first determine how low your speakers go in your room. I would get an SPL meter and measure. When you find out what your cut off point is, then you can make a better decision as to what you need. I don't think... 
Subwoofer Choice
bound4h, It seems to me while reading comments about subwoofers that a lot of cases describe a poor setup rather than a specific model. I have two Rythmic subs and I think they are great. I think that a good setup has a greater effect on sound qu... 
OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.
So, Kenjit is right - speakers are not plug and play. You have to move a lamp to make them sound good!    
Tube or solid state
If you match your components carefully, any combination can sound good. lectronJH50  
Looking for some turntable/tonearm/cartridge guidance
Coreyt, Morch DP-6 is not unipivot. It is an awesome arm. In a wrestling match against SME V, it would likely end up with a broken limb, but if you prefer a set and forget approach, it plays beautiful music. Also, it is spectacularly beautiful an... 
Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage
bigkidz, What do you mean? My pre-amp was upgraded to the (latest) version 4 years ago, while Stan Klyne was still active. Did you mean you added 6SN7 tube(s) to the Klyne and made it better? Honestly, I doubt that. If you meant you had another  ... 
Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage
adg101, O yes, it is playing very well and I love it - as one reviewer put it, it sounds "like clear spring water". However, I've had it for more than 20 years and when I purchased it, it was not new. I would like to use it until one of us dies a... 
Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage
carey1110, Thank you very much. I have never seen any Rowland in MN but I am sure their reputation is deserved. I'll research. Again, I appreciate your response. lectronjh50       
Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage
Yes, I've taken care of that. Thanks for responding. lectronjh50
