Turn down the Volume!
@ozzy62 I spend most of my time enjoying the music. As you will have noted I don’t post much- anywhere.  Just not enough hours in the day Suffice to say I have produced mixed and mastered multi million selling records. I also owned multiple high ...

@ghdprentice duly noted. And sorry your 50 years quest has failed. I’m pleased to say mine hasn’t.    enjoy the music.   
Turn down the Volume!
I understand your response and I respectfully and entirely DISAGREE. RRV works for every piece of music from the same source.  ‘Softer’ music if you wish to call it that just has more headroom more room to breath.     I play ALL music at the same... 
Turn down the Volume!
Sorry I thought I explained it.  Its the very precise setting for the  volume at which a particular source plays in your listening environment. Once its set you NEVER change it for your chosen source.  All play now at the RIGHT ROOM VOLUME. The RR... 
Turn down the Volume!
They do @mijostyn as long as you set the RRV correctly. Yes even a string quartet vs a rock concert.  You just get more headroom. Its revealing to hear but most rewarding    its the best kept least understood audiophile secret.

Anything to add to the convo @jjss49   
Turn down the Volume!
@mijostyn Hi, no. Its NOT correct. The RRV when set correctly is right for EVERY recording. Many will disagree. I cant help that.  Also you cant set RRV accurately with a stepped remote. Its not accurate enough. The RRV needs precision. I HAVE t... 
Does room size affect volume and bass?
You cannot judge a speaker in isolation. That’s just not a good call. Get it home position it in your system. Then judge.   
Turn down the Volume!
I agree with @mijostyn I OWNED an ultra high end dealership I also produced and mixed multi million selling records. VERY VERY FEW SYSTEMS come close to conveying the music even remotely accurately, and playing at low volume will not IMO get you...

(RIGHT ROOM) VOLUME (RRV).   Get the volume set right THEN NEVER CHANGE IT  Yup you read that right, once it’s set for a particular source you don’t change irrespective of the type of music.  RRV as I call it should become de facto but if isn’t  ... 
A turntable that plays all types of music well
@Gmercer The Thales Compact + Simplicity tone arm is a stunning TT. And indeed in such a ‘compact’ box. I used it almost daily for a few years until I purchased the truly amazing, in both sound and look, ‘Oscar’ Tegra. Mr Thales (Huber) is not som... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
I had fully expected the hot stamper to be a marketing trick and corresponded with Tom in advance ensuring that if I was unhappy I could return it per his guarantee I didn’t return it and that’s why I thanked him NOW.. I did return multiple lps la... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
The first hot stamper I bought was Roxy Music 1st lp. Why. Because I have multiple copies and know it intimately. I was blown away and told Tom so. He was most pleased Over time I bought more hot stampers and even considered representing Better Re... 
Beware the audio guru
Never trust a poster who says ‘prove it’. He’s an imposter!  If you have doubt, you DISPROVE it sweetie, I’m too busy enjoying the music. i trust my ears the way I trusted those records I co produced and mixed that went on to sell millions and all... 
Beware the audio guru
If anyone on here things ‘measurements’ tell the whole story using the BS argument ‘if you can’t meaure it...’ then quite frankly they aught to be made to listen to The Backstreet Boys full volume 24/7 for a month. The good Lord gave you ears to j...
