| Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave Whatever you choose, I'd go the used route. Tons of options and much more reasonable prices over new. Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, even Audiogon can have a bargain or two every now and then. | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions Devore Orangutan series. | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio @rajugsw Just curious why you consider Oppo "crap"? | |
| Am I nuts? If you have one of those magic, green markers, go for it. | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? Occam's razor would indicate #1 and 2 and rationality would indicate #5 and 6, especially 5, would have no bearing. | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge I'd jump in with both feet and get a pair of the GoldenEar Triton 2+ or 3+. Same airy sweetness with great bass thanks to the built in 1200 watt powered subwoofers (at least in the 2+). | |
| Isolation Feet for Laptop Just when I think I've read something that is the silliest thing ever in audio, along comes something sillier. Could someone explain how vibrations are transferred from a laptop (or any other source) to your pre-amp then to the amp (or integra... | |

| Audio nonsense Anything from Shakti and those ridiculous Marigo Tuning Dots. Too many so-called audiophiles are oh so gullible. | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. "Never looked into the science of the green pen." There isn't anything to look into. No science whatsoever. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Unless speaker wires are very thin or have something in-line to alter the flow of electricity, there's no difference despite what Crystal Cable and Nordost tell you. | |
| Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing? @emailists Only if you post on your phone. You can still send messages on a computer without downloading anything. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer They're junk. I hear they'll be out of business soon. I mean, c'mon. They've been making stuff since 1949 and clearly have no idea what they're doing and almost no one likes their equipment or buys anything they make. (That's heavy sarcasm fo... | |
| Pro Tip: Swiffer Duster I think someone needs to make a handle for the Swiffer out of Myrtle wood or maybe cryogenically treated rhodium to better attract the dust molecules. Also, it should be stored well off the floor to not absorb microvibrations which would dispel th... |
