| Help for Linn Isobarik speakers Thank you for your feedback. The suction concept sounds too good to be true, but I'll give it a try. Assuming that does not work, I will contact Falcon acoustics and Wigwam as suggested. | |
| Help for Linn Isobarik speakers LOL......Unfortunately, I did not realize the damage until almost 2 weeks afterward. As I said, they are part of a second system which I rarely use. I showed him the damage and he says he will compensate me for the cost of the repairs. I just n... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? 2016 pressing of Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" - on Not Now label, on 180 gram BLUE VINYL! Very "cool". Very low surface noise and excellent quality. Absolutely no pops.This music is chicken soup for the soul, especially when enjoyed with 35 year... | |

| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? If you want that "big buck sound" for under 50k, I believe you would be wise to look into the Grandinote Mach 9's. They list for around 42k, and they are a wonder. I own their big brother, the Mach 36's, which retail for around 150k, and althoug... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? The concept of "being done" with audio reminds me of the famous line by Mark Twain regarding smoking. He said, "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world to do; I've done it hundreds of times!"Personally, I've been "done" upgrading my sy... | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? ypingping......At their higher levels (red and black) they use "old new wire", meaning wire that was originally produced back in the 40's. As you can imagine, this is very rare, but is supposed to have properties that newer wire does not have. I... | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? You should really consider Luna Cables. I did, and bought an entire top of their line set. They make 5 grades:GreyOrange BlueRedBlackTheir entry levels are quite reasonable | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? The best Rush albums are the ones left on the shelf. | |
| I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire You would be wise to consider Luna Cables. They come in 5 grades. I just purchased a complete set (speaker, IC, power cords). Each time I replaced one of my Naim cables with a Luna cable, it drastically improved the sound. The difference was t... | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far I was at the show for all 3 days and visited every room (nearly 200) in the huge hotel, but I am surprised no one mentioned the hidden (apparently) treasure found on the 14th floor, the amazing Grandinote Mach 4 speakers, powered by the Grandinote... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I'm amazed about how many in this group have gone through a dozen or more pair of speakers. It almost seems a bit schizophrenic. lol When you drop some serious coin on a world class speaker, how do you lose interest so quickly. I've often wond... |
