| What's The Furthest/Longest You Have/Will Travel To Audition? How far would I drive? Not far. When about to buy my Tekton Moab speakers last year there were a couple in the Seattle area I could have gone to hear them if I really wanted. But the reality is if the speakers are any good at all then I won't ... | |
| Wow, $10k+ cables Or at least use an apostrophe in c’mon.Anyway, what is the point of the thread? Every audio enthusiast has been well aware for a long time that there are cables in and above that price range. So what? I’ve always thought the point of threads like ... | |

| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Yes it's true. Asbestos miners working ten hour days breathing a gram per cubic meter asbestos dust develop lung disease in as little as 20 years. The microscopically infinitesimally immeasurably few bits of fibers you might inhale listening to mu... | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? Don't make it harder than it needs to be. Call Dave Thompson at Raven. Tell him you need 100V. Have him set you up with a Raven Blackhawk and step down transformer. Fall in love with the sound and have a real life amp made in Texas amp to sell. Ge... | |

| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet Why would I resist? Who would I be resisting anyway? Myself? Only if I was a neurotic mess would such a thing even cross my mind. Instead, being of sound mind, I would either get a few out, try them, and keep the best ones, or be happy to have spa... | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening To everyone - thanks for chiming in. I just do not want to localize sub bass in either left or right side. - confuse_upgraditisYour name is apt.

| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? It is categorically impossible to adequately acoustically treat a high end listening environment for less than $65k. I can tell you precisely what it will cost. PM me your complete financial statement and I will get right on it. | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? You don't need CNC, unless you yourself make it a requirement. What you need to eliminate footfall problems is a two stage approach. First stage, mass eliminates large amplitude low frequency footfall type vibrations. Second stage, springs isolate... | |

| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Research and think long, upgrade rarely. If you want vinyl playback - and you do! - you will want best turntable and phono stage you can afford. Tubes still sound best.Winner winner chicken dinner! | |
