| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? +1 @larry5729 same company in Boulder same behavior. I buy cables from them sometimes if the price is right, I think you’re being very generous by saying they make you uncomfortable. I ordered my cables over the phone, walk in and pay for them ... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? I was listening to Helene Grimaud. The album is Duo. It’s just Grimaud on piano and del Sol on cello. The piano sounded like it was up on the stage at a concert hall. I’m sitting in the front row and del Sol is seated right in front of me just to ... | |

| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Grace F9e, purchased new in 1984 for $158. I’m using it right now while my Soundsmith, The Voice, is getting retipped. The F9e is still amazing me after 39 years. You can buy one on eBay right now $500 from Japan. I’ve seen in the tires $1200 and ... | |
| Lyra and OMA I’m still here and I’m still listening. Thanks Jonathan. | |
| Subwoofer Choice @bound4h I also have in SVS SB3000. I like that you can alter the impedance curve from your listening chair with an iPhone. I’ve got it to my preference! ml | |
