Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
No this is a dedicated room, no tv but may put one on later. There will be a lot of gear going between speakers. 2 amps, preamp, CD player and power supply, Linn turntable on wall shelf with power supply, phono preamp, 2 power conditioner one rack... 
Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
Went by new house yesterday and looked at 12x12 room, damn it's small. I have some room treatment from long ago in a box somewhere, can't remember brand. It's not rigged, it is covered in material with reflective on one side and non reflective on ...

My biggest concern is couch directly on back wall, I would think I need to pull it out into the room, am I wrong? Problem is there's not much room to pull couch into. I'm very glad to hear many have success in smaller than average rooms, I do feel...

I own both gold and NCF if you have them pre burned in it will not help much with the long burnin process, I had mine pre burned in. The gold burns in faster. The NCF is a long bad ride at least 600 hours but worth it in the end. The gold highs ar... 
Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits
If open baffle interest you look at GR Research. They have the flat packs and all the drivers. Very reasonable prices and great support from the owner. I learned to solder so I could build one of his cheap monitors, I may have put 3 or $400 in it ... 
Does your system hate you when you ignore her?
There must be something wrong with me or my system I've never had my system sound good with 5 minute warm up. Most of my a/b amps that double in power take 2 days, I leave them on 24/7.  A day or 2 for tube CD player,  solid state CD player is lef... 
Time to buy a class D amp?
I'm new to class D. About a year ago I bought a modded ps audio trying to build second system. For me first thing I noticed it took 5 days 24/7 to sound right, It has to have a very good power conditioner and descent power cord or I feel your wast... 
Crackling and hiss - Preamp tubes not seated right?
I agree with Elizabeth, I've had same issue many times with newly purchased nos tube from very reputable dealers. If you take the tube and lightly tap tube pins on countertop, take tube out of amp tap the tube with a pencil it should clear up prob... 
Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment
I'm not saying you should get one , it's not the best by any means but some of these old amps have a non audiophile magic. I acquired a Mapleshade Scott LK48 not really knowing what it was. I brought it to work hooked it up to some old Paradigm fi...

Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today
Yea, I was bummed they didn't work too. All the great reviews I was sure they were going to work. Maybe the minis aren't the way to go but my Preamp only weighs 15 pounds. I did pull some monitors out of the closet before I boxed them up and they ...

I put brass footers in place of Isoacoustic pucks and everything became transparent and refined. The DH Cones stayed under CD player. The blurred effect was gone with pucks gone everything had body again and the slow veiled sound was gone. I calle...
