| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? At best it is always going to be compromise as record lathe cutter head angles can vary between manufacturers, then there's record thickness and finally VTF can impact cantilever angle. | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. Surely Cassettes at 1.875" per second are far too slow to be able to complete with records, which in the day would have been recorded on tape running at 15" per second. That's 0.8523 miles per hour! At 0.15" wide Cassette tape is just too narrow... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? Years later, the Eagles in Seattle, another almost equally bad audio experience however this time so greatly overshadowed by their "musicality" I honestly couldn’t have cared less. Reminds me of John Lennon all those years ago when he said the ... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I'm sure by now we all understand that "Digital is all zeros and ones".As we were advised all those years ago, "oils ain't oils".Getting those bits off the medium and into a perfect electrical stream without contamination is the real issue and it ... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO B&W or Bowers and Wilkins, whatever they call themselves today makes fine loudspeakers found at Best buy. I've failed to see Wilson, Magico, Marten, Estelon, or MBL there for sale. Inside the Bowers & Wilkins factory to see the new 8... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO REL or JL? It certainly seems like a question even if it's not considered valid.The answer therefore seems to be don't even considering anything from China.I've been berated for liking B&W, so maybe anything not parochial is to be rejected. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO 2 channels audio is mixed down from multi channels for a specific format. If the music's mixed for other formats, is there any reason to reject it as illegitimate? Other than being trapped in the past? | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO B&W? Come on man. Please. Have you auditioned them in your environment? If you had you might not be so critical. Size doesn't really matter. | |

| Luxman 590axii ventilation I would never add fan noise in my listening space. Would that be a theoretical or practical comment?Most rooms have higher background noise that many fans on low. If the fans need to on high then the volume would likely mask any fan noise. | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation I have to agree 1" is asking for trouble; if you don't find a way to increase circulation.Adding suitable fans is like having it out in the open. Can be even better when the operating temperature is reduced. | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation AC Infinity has been mentioned, but with only 1" clearance you might need the MULTIFAN S2, QUIET USB COOLING BLOWER, 120MM.I was in a similar situation and the rubber feet can be removed to fit the space (gently extend the upper towers and at the ... | |
| Critical listening and altered states Ultrasonic harmonics and a Schumann Resonator can be beneficial. | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? In today's society, everyone has the right to be heard as an equal, even when it is illogical, irrational, self indulgent, and abusive.Perhaps the problem can be summed up as a massive lack of maturity with a strong dose of poor mental health thro... | |
