| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help She hates your audio gear.Young women are indoctrinated with a minimalist aesthetic now. Look at Architectural Digest: no rooms look like anyone ever lived there. What makes you think you will ever be allowed to listen in peace? Have you heard t... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again @ akg_cayou missed the humorous sarcasm. Hilde45 knows very well those were American quotes | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options I got a D-Sonic to replace a Mesa Baron while it is under repair (blew a tube, etc.) and during the worst part of Houston summers (which run from about April through January.) the D-sonic is very nice, lots of detail, virtually unlimited power, c... | |
| Innuos: A Cautionary Tale. Thanks for the heads up. | |

| has anyone tried chinese cables? Thanks to those who shared actual experiences. | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? +1 Russ I still don’t understand why anyone would choose stand mounted mini’s, when a small tower takes up the same amount of floor space and has better, deeper, more realistic bass response. The cost of good stands usually evens out the value pr... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? A friend of mine claimed to have gotten rid of all his Grateful Dead tapes. Under pressure, he finally admitted, "Ok, I kept a few thousand." | |
| To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question. To exceed even moderately good modern digital with analogue is an expensive proposition. It’s a big investment to buy a tt, phonopreamp, cables, cartridge, and records. Unless you already own a large record collection sitting in storage, don’t do... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night Al was a real gentleman, and his posts were virtually authoritative. His posts were never based on an unfounded opinion, and not infrequently, they were more like answers. He was always polite while correcting others. Greatly missed. |
