| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? After reading through this, I hate all music. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? The problem for me is that with every improvement my ability to hear differences gets better. So while I'm happy with what I'm hearing on my current system, it becomes the new baseline for imagining even better. | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Appropriate room treatment can make a small room sound much bigger and accommodate larger speakers. A front ported speaker works best when you don't have room to pull them out. I found the issue in my room to be related to the woofers being 3 fee... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question I mentioned Cardas because I also wanted to warm up my system a bit. I have the Clear Sky x4 and they did exactly that. No loss of detail or transparency. Just a really "meaty" sound. Thicker, not duller. | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier +1 LTA preamps. They're the best of both worlds. Crystal clear detail and gorgeous midrange bloom and soundstage. My MZ2 is very responsive to tube changes and never loses those qualities regardless of tubes. If you want a lush warm liquid sound,... | |

| A life sentence!!! My 47 year old JBL 4311 speakers. I've auditioned 5 other candidates with no luck. I'm currently listening to a pair of ATC SCM20 Passives. It's only the second day but so far, I'm not that impressed. When my dealer set them up yesterday, he brie... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Casual listening 65-70, serious listening 75-85 depending on music. Some music demands 85 to be realistic. | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 @milpai I posted that. It was from an email I received from Parasound as a customer. I have a Parasound A23+ and like it very much. I recently upgraded to the Bryston but I still have the Parasound and plan to use it in another system. It was ju... | |
| Maybe critical listening skills are bad? I start with "do I like it better than something else"? If I do, I can analyze why but I won't even bother analyzing if I don't feel drawn in by the sound. Over time I've learned what nuances I like, so if I read reviews I look for those specifi... | |

| A question about tube rolling I'm new to tube rolling as well. I bought an LTA MZ2 preamp about a year ago. It was used and came with a pair of 12SN7s of unknown history. Shortly afterwards, I bought a pair of Sylvania VT231s and it was a very different sound but not what I wa... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? I'm currently considering a pair of ATC SCM40 passive models. I've seen them used for $3500-4500. They seem to be universally acclaimed and reasonable in price. I'll be doing some listening in the next week or two. | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? I have 3 24x48x6 bass traps on the ceiling above my listening position. I also plan to hang 2 diffusion panels above my speakers. |
