Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversity speaker: Best stand height for them and brand??
I agree with Tim except that I usually will setup a small monitor/bookshelf speaker with the middle of the tweeter at ear level when sitting down.So if your ear is at 40 inches in your listening chair and the middle of the tweeter is 12 inches fro... 
DAC or CD Player. Help!
The result is a function of the CD transport, the cable used, the DAC and the synergy between the aforementioned. +1  It all matters. 
BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ????
The quality they get would depend on their LP supplier right? How could there be a difference? There isn’t a difference. All of the LPs, now matter where you buy them, come from the same distributors. It isn’t like these specialty retailers are pr... 
Has anyone heard of the GRAMOVOX FLOATING RECORD PLAYER??
The cartridge is an Audio Technica AT95E. I’ve seen one of these tables and played around with it for a few minutes. IMHO, more of a gimmick/conversation piece than a serious piece of gear. Maybe an upgrade for the Crosley crowd.They do have a 60 ... 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
#1: that the DR-9 was 1 of your faves. Is it a sweeter amp than the Classe’ - 25? Yes.  Sweeter, warmer and smoother. #2: you said you ran your a pair of DR-8’s in mono. I ran a pair of DR-9’s in mono & the amps sounds way better in Stereo th... 
Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp?
Buy an old stereo receiver and tune it to a rap station(a heavy bass genre).    Place your speakers close together, hook them up out of phase(with each other) and facing one another, with a blanket over them.  Much of the sound will cancel out t... 
Magneplanar speaker terminals. is there an adapter to....
Jim, any regular sized banana plug will fit into the the Magnepan terminals. If you tighten them down, they might ruin the banana plug a little. You just need to be sure to back the set screw out all the way.Magnepan sells an adapter to use spade ... 
CHINESE tubes?
I have several drawers, (hundreds and hundreds of tubes) full of tubes. Both NOS and new production. I have found the new production Shuguang and Psvane to be as good, if not sometimes better, (depends on the circuit) than any of my NOS tubes from... 
Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like?
@reubent ...I have the original Oontz, which is pretty much the same as the Angle 3 Small.  GREAT little speaker! 
No sound from Pro-Ject Pre Box RS Digital Toslink Inputs
I'm pretty sure that most TVs output Dolby Digital from their digital outputs.  Your Pre Box RS won't decode video codecs like your Yamaha AVR.You might be able to get into the TVs settings and change the digital output to just PCM or some other n... 
Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7
Yes you can.  The SVS2000 only has line level inputs (no speaker level), but it also has an output.You would run a pair of interconnects from the output of the Aune to the input of the sub.  Then run a pair of interconnects from the output of the ... 
Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like?
The Audioengine B2 is really nice.  Not sure if it's bigger than you are looking for.On the small side, I own and really like the Cambridge Oontz and the Dell AD211.  Excellent sound for such a small speaker. 
New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ?
"Isn't THAT silly?" Not if you're a serious collector.  Jealous? 
Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation
"IMO, a good MM cartridge is good on any type of speaker, not just a "box" speaker. Likewise for a good MC type."I thought that poster was just trying to be being funny.  If he was serious, that's just stupid. 
New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ?
"Do you have the socks & underwear too...?!"  No, but I do have a T-Shirt and a Poster :-)10-12 is nothing.  I probably have 20 different copies of Steely Dan's "AJA" and close to 15 different copies of "Hotel California" and multiple copies o...
