| ATC SCM150ASLT I think the ATC are way overkill for PC streaming electronic music. How about adding a pair of subs to what you have? You might look at The Spatial Audio Lab Sapphires or their X series (and subs). They are fast and have wonderful imaging. | |
| Newbie help with headphone gift choice. The Sony are clear and crisp sounding. The Sennheiser and AKG tend to be warmer and a bit dull. I haven't heard the AT. | |

| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? Going from supplied cables to a BLE Design (on Ebay from Florida) 10 gauge OFC with rhodium plated contacts yielded darker background and a slightly more neutral color. $35. Using them on phono, pre, and subs. I’m good. | |

| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? +1 @unreceivedogma Me too. See my systems. But I will put my 38-67 year old gear up against anything on the market today and while it may not be the best according to some, it will righteously acquit itself. | |
| SME tonearms on a japanese market @anatoliy I’ve three TK850 tonearms. 12" and 9". Running them with Decca cartridges with zero issues. The knife edge 850/950 series are a large step up from the others. They replaced three SA 750 Jelcos. | |
| Speaker placement Quandary @mijostyn Exactly. The sweetest imaging is when the speakers disappear leaving a 3D tangible image in the space in front of the speaker plane. | |
| SME tonearms on a japanese market You mentioned Jelco. If you can find a now discontinued Jelco TK-850S (9"), you should consider it. Beats the SME in sound quality. | |
| Quick Luxman R-117 question I had an amp (Onkyo) where the A and B speaker outputs were separate amplifiers on their own heatsinks. Even the circuit diagram confirmed this. You could run A, B, or A+B. | |
| Speaker placement Quandary I’m also in a basement. I tried and removed all damping as it killed the sound. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Welcome back. Streamed the Hilary Hahn. Wow, that's quite an ethereal, empty, stark landscape those pieces evoke. What do you think? |
