| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? What's the frequency response of a full range orchestra? Is it practical to apply bandwidth filters? Regardless of what the original recording engineer did, the mastering engineer will probably limit the bandwidth to what he considers appropriate ... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Filters are bad because they introduce phase problems, frequency response anomalies above their bandpass, added noise to the signal, etc. Woofer pumping is bad because it reduces the dynamic range, introduces distortion, reduces transparency, etc.... | |
| Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment If you're that concerned, then don't do this sale and wait for the speaker to become available within driving distance so you can make a face to face transaction. | |
| Recommend a used vintage receiver for under $100? Rather than go the vintage route I would suggest something like this. It comes with a warranty and you don't have to worry about bad caps or noisy caps. | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited You are paying the costs for repair work being performed on others gear, so that in the event that someday your unit needs serviced, it will be done for no charge.That's the basis of the insurance industry, not communism. | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited If the members of Audiogon are a reliable sample, then most audiophiles do not hold onto equipment long enough for a 20 year warranty to be a high priority. Still I applaud LFD for making such a strong commitment to their buyers. It's refreshing e... | |

| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Charles1dad, everything you just said is true. My point is that despite those truths, having so little invested in vinyl might no warrant such a large investment in equipment. While there is no magic number of LPs that triggers getting state of th... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Other feel free to disagree, but from my perspective someone considering a Coincident, or for that matter even the EAR, should have more than 25 LPs. It's putting the equipment before the music. | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Not to be negative, but perhaps it's your limited experience with audio equipment that leads you to believe there is a definitive answer. There are several unproven assumptions in your OP. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Everybody has an opinion and I have stated mine. I have nothing but respect for anyone who disagrees with me. Well, maybe not everyone.Not to change anyone's opinion, but here's another critic who agrees with me. | |
| Focal Diablo / Utopia III breakin really long? Placing them face to face with one speaker hooked up in reverse polarity will result in the acoustic cancellation of most of the sound. The blanket just takes it a step further. When implemented you can turn the volume up real loud, have the drive... | |
