| Your favourite music movie? And then there is the one that towers over all the rest, the one (and only) where director Sergio Leone fulfilled his goal of having the music written first and then the movie, the one where the music truly does make the movie, Ennio Morricone's m... | |
| Linn Uphorik Phono - On or Off? You can turn it off if you want. Solid state however as a rule should be left on. If you care about sound quality, that is. The one I brought home for audition sounded horrible- until left on overnight. So if you want it to sound good, leave it on. | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? My system is capable of transporting me through an obelisk and across the universe to a room where time warps until I grow old and die and am reborn as a star child. | |
| Metal cabinet speakers Wilson's solution of using composites to make individual small enclosures is a good one. MDF is just as good you just have to increase wall thickness and keep the enclosures small with rounded edges and flush mount drivers. Right. The problem w... | |
| BookShelf or Floor Standing Speakers A lot depends on how in love you are with your current speakers- especially if what you are mostly looking for is better/deeper bass. Floor standers will probably give you that, but not by a huge amount because there will still be only two of them... | |

| turntable choice Go used and buy the newest/best you can afford that say Synergistic Research on them. Unlike most others that work like band-aids or tone controls the wire from Synergistic Research actually delivers improvement in every area across the board even... | |
| Help with crossover capacitors Be careful dannybad, a lot of people around here are eager to advise on things they have no actual experience with. Differences between caps are easy to hear. I'm talking electrically same value caps. Back when I didn't know this the designer of m... | |
| Help with crossover capacitors The value of the cap changes the frequency response of the circuit. Such slight changes will be very hard to hear. Essentially all that will happen is one driver output will be a fraction of a dB higher or lower. But because the values are so clos... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work Someone who actually knows what they're talking about, ie NOT kosst_amojan :Bits is bits? Although CD manufacturing appears to be a straightforward process of stamping inviolate ones and zeros into a plastic disc, these manufacturing techniques in... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. I would hope all the car guys know the last thing you want to put on rubber is silicone, as it hastens degradation. Or if not then say hello to Griot's Garage. https://www.griotsgarage.com/ But if you are worried about ozone well then guess you b... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Another really good example why sophistry got such a bad rap. The Sophists used rhetoric and reasoning. Problem being, once you set aside tangible results and experience it turns out you can talk yourself into just about anything. Myself, I find t... | |

| What equipment upgrades or tweaks will improve the sound of drums? udog: Having just purchased a few quality vinyl recordings of Elton John after watching Rocketman ignore his band, I’m looking for ways to improve the sound of Nigel Olsson’s drumming. Most of the above is all good. Especially oregonpapa with the ... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Cantilever bent 90 degrees! I actually had that! Stanton 681EEE. Needle-nose pliers bent it back. Straight as I could get it anyway. Still had a kink in it. Seemed to play just fine. Now, pretty sure if that happened with my Koetsu it would not so... |
