Full circle and thinking about speakers
I really don't care what speakers you buy. But do yourself a favor and place them on the short wall. Thank me later. Or now. Whichever you prefer........ 
A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers.
Buy a tube amp and you solve two problems at once........ 
Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.
Too bad everything is not available on vinyl, but the sad truth is that it's not. I too enjoy streaming music from my collection as well as Qobuz. It sounds very good and I love the convenience of all that music from my listening chair. No, it's n... 
New Cartridge Time
Scott,Judging from the chart, a tonearm would need to have an effective mass of ~31g for the Denon to be in the acceptable range. Am I reading that right? 
Driver breakin period, what’s the science?
Don't let the naysayers and the "wire = wire" crowd here fool you. Break in is real and depending on the speaker and the design, can be pretty substantial. Not only do driver surrounds break in, so do the electronics in the crossover. I have exper... 
New Klipsch Forte IV
Congrats to all the new Forte IV owners. I have been enjoying Cornwall IVs for seven months now and am extremely happy. I imagine the new Forte is excellent as well.Oz

BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..?
Ethernet. Every. time....... 
Embarrassed....Audio furniture help
If you have an open floor plan room, aesthetics are the least of your worries. It is struggle to get decent sound in such an environment and you will never get excellent sound.  I wouldn't put anything beyond a sound bar in a living room type situ... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Elysian Fields “Bleed Your Cedar”Jason Molina “Songs:Ohia”Caamp “Caamp”The Cruel Sea “Where’s the Smoke”Dead Man Winter “Wolves” 
Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else
Welcome to the forum, and I agree with thecarpathian.  It has been my experience that all Klipsch speakers are happy with tubes. If I were you, that's where I'd start my search.Oz 
Klipsch Heritage Range
@simna I am not saying they are a perfect fit. My comment was directed more at the two members who posted directly above me. I will say that they do justice to all genres of music, at least to my ears. 
Klipsch Heritage Range
The two posters above me should hear the latest iteration of the Cornwall and Forte. Minds will be changed.......Oz
