| Help - static noise in speakers I had a weird static noise coming through my speakers and discovered two things contributing to noise. Ethernet cabling near speaker wires and I also had to move e my ethernet switch away from my tube preamp. Amp is tube. In my last house I... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf Of course it's a real personal thing, speaker choice and taste but I knew those Studio Electrics weren't going back after just a few tracks. They check all the boxes for me. | |
| Help me choose a phono pre The Moon is nice. I picked up a Sutherland KC Vibe , they can be found for around $600 used. Also has gain and loading jumpers. | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? Yes, but i have a tester.... it's risky with 4 pin antique tubes and also any rectifiers though . Most of my tube gear has modern equivalent or type is still made. I do have a bunch of e180f and 5r4gy/ 274b on hand so no worries. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening Ouch.... fortunately for me my son found a couple of crates of my LPs. One of the few things that my ex didn't toss out. Ironically I sold my turntable because one of kids broke the stylus off. Then in '23 I bought a new table. I missed t... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf I own the Studio Electric M4. They are a great speaker. Previous stand mounts were Revel M106 and PSB M2. Both good speakers but the M4 in my opinion is much better. I replaced a pair of Omega Super Alnico with the M4 , just wasn't in lov... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget I have the Forte IV in my main room. Studio Electric M4 in my second system. I love my Forte but these Studio Electric are special. Probably the best overall speaker for the money i have ever owned. Well worth the money, a phenomenal sma... | |

Opened a world of music and let me find great artists. About two years ago , I found myself streaming so much I bought an Aurender N200 and put the Vault in my second... | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person My main listening room has a single recliner in the sweet spot. If my girlfriend is over I'll let her sit there and I throw a bean bag chair next to her. | |
| Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp A really good headphone amp that can drive most any phone is the Rupert Neve RNHP and it's a good value. I regret selling mine. Around $500 | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers I will use subs or a sub crossover that uses DSP but not on the speakers. Don't feel there is a need to in my rooms. | |
| Which amplifier I was just thinking the same thing. This happens a lot, I can see why. You live where demos are tough or impossible so it will often boil down to to high end contenders that used locally. Definitely go out your way to audition amps at that pri... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? There are so many great sounding DACs under $5k it's silly. I listened to several around $1500 to $6k. In the end I chose one a little over $3k. Almost 3 years in and still love how it sounds. Never been a better time for digital a... | |
| McIntosh MA8950 Upgrade to MA12000? My Dad has a 8950. It's a great amp no doubt. 50% more power and tube preamp stage? Yes please. | |
