| UPS. Friend Or Foe? Just last week the brown truck guy comes to my door and he's carrying an old tube amp I purchased. The box has Fragile written on it, arrows pointing this way up. He's not carrying it the way the arrows would like him to, as I open the door he ... | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp I saw someone mentioned a Dared. If you can find a used Dared SL2000a I'd say it is a great true tube preamp if you are wanting to get your feet wet. They are sensitive to tube rolling so you can get a few different flavors out of it. Runs off a 5... | |

| 2.1 Stereo System for TV Listening I, like others in this thread have "down-graded" to a 2.1 stereo system that I use for TV as well as living room music streaming. I was using my old Lexicon MC-8 AVP for 5.1 surround for movies and TV and recently thought it was time to consolidat... | |

About a year or so ago I was in a similar situation as you in terms of budget. After auditioning the... | |
| Nobosound Springs I had tried a few "cheaper" isolation type products from Amazon over the years, never buying them a 2nd time due to the fact I never noticed much of a difference. On a whim but mostly due to them being slightly on sale and returnable I tried the I... | |

Well if the OP is still around I saw a pair of the Polk R100's open box at Music Direct for around $300 bucks. Don't let the Polk name dissuade you, the Reserve series is a great ... | |
| What Neutral Means in Reviews & Our Discussions? Are We Confusing Tame/Flat For Neutral? When I hear someone say a speaker is Neutral I'm expecting it to be balanced. That doesn't mean the drivers will always be tonally accurate to the instruments though. I am more interested in a descriptive term I saw in this thread that some use to... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube I watch a lot of these YouTube "reviewers" and I've been watching his channel for probably over 2 years now. I enjoy his content and he's come a long way. I would say before you completely dismiss him as garbage you should see what he's about and ... |
