| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Here is a question for the case bled masses here. Let’s say that in 1970 you bought Tapestry by Carole King and listened to it on your then decent system, say a Dual 1229 turntable, high efficiency speakers, McIntosh tube amplifier and preamp.How... | |
| SQ vs. Music When you are no longer young, as many of us are, We all have a database in our listening history of our favorite music. Many of my favorites have been heard thousands of time over many systems, using many sources.You know when it is good, and tha... | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? The room we have, is the room we have for most people. It can be treated in many was, but realistically, unless you are moving, most people are locked into their room.If you choose your power amp first, you clearly are limiting your speaker choic... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Do lots of research before you open your wallet. Take what others say with a grain of salt. Speakers will drive your amplifier choice in many ways. Synergy is important.I like Maggie’s and they need lots of current. You may like K-horn that ar... | |

After much research and years of listening, I found myself in the position of having the means and time to create wh... | |

| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. And yet no one has addressed Maggie’s that are dipoles and reflect far more than box speakers. There is no ONE rule for speaker placement. It depends on many factors,not he least of which is speaker design. | |
| What album have you bought in the most different formats. One more format would have been the short lived video disc, not sure about music on them. I was not trying to make this a contest, LOL. It is more about a favorite piece of music and evolution of formats over time. Being 72, I have been buying ... | |
| What album have you bought in the most different formats. Wheels of Fire vinyl, upon release and 3 more times sue to life circumstances | |
| What album have you bought in the most different formats. I would also mention the best sounding, to me at the time, was the dedicated 4 channel R2R. Having seen them in concert on that tour, it captured the moment. I later abandoned that format due to lack of product.In retrospect, too many pieces nee... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" There way too many variables within this argument. I started out in the late 60’s with decent separates, and the only choices were turntables, then reel to reel for recording LPs. Eight tracks were never considered, due to performance issues.Fas... | |
