| LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good? Another agoner brought a pair of ls50s over to my house to hear. In larger room off high power but less damped SS amp we both agreed the sound was not good at all. Muddled and no bass. In smaller 12x12 room with vaulted ceiling and a different hig... | |
| Is it true records are sealed to look better.... Thanks for the tip on the Spin Clean. Might have to give that a try. | |

| Which SR Blue or black Fuse I'd recommend a good fashion designer to decide which color. | |

| Getting close to giving up on CD's The best thing about CDs these days is that they can be ripped to a music server in just a few minutes then played more error free from there almost anywhere through various means. I still keep them around after ripping though just in case I ever ... | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? Could be. Good question though. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I’m very fortunate to have been able to set up having music wired or broadcast into most any room of my house off various systems. Relaxing in the sunroom with the Dynaudio Contours today. Music server on random play. Currently grooving to Beethov... | |
