| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? After reading about all of the speakers recommended here, and then considering the size and placement. I think I’m going to put the Genelec G Three with the 7040A sub at the top of my list. You can put them anywhere and they sell wall and ceiling ... | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? @charliech 😂 I wish! Actually, it’s a Gulfstream 37-footer. My previous post in this thread mentions my current car system. I’m open to that, but I can do much, much better than marine speakers. The high-end car audio speakers available these d... | |

| linn sondek tt I bought a used LP-12 with a Cirkus upgrade off e-Bay about 2 years ago. I already had a Linn Ittok LV-II arm. I upgraded the power supply and motor to a DC powered motor (Mober - see honmo2000 eBay seller). First time I’d heard a sustained piano ... | |

| low-level background white noise - Parasound Halo JC-3+ I just realized I never followed up to this thread. I sent the unit to Parasound and they tested it and it met spec. Absolute first class warranty service. There was nothing wrong with the unit. It turned out to be the amps. I was using Emotiva XP... | |
