| Favorite scream in rock? Fun thread! Geez too many favs to name just one. Robert Plant/Zep -How many more times -Since I've been loving you -etc Geoff Tate/Queensryche -Queen of the reich -Take hold of the flame -etc. Ian Gillan/Deep Purple -Strange kind of w... | |
| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM Geez that’s quite a website for being a scam. Somebody spent a ton of time putting that all together. I guess if they dupe a few people out of a few thousand $ now and then it’s worth it to them. Surprised it’s still up and running. Just for s &... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? It's not 'tonight', but Jean-Luc Ponty 'Aurora' right now. Sounds great! You can always rely on Ponty for excellent production value. | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? When i first noticed some tinnitus in my right ear I messed around with cupping my ears with my hands and other things. Just wanted to try and get a handle on what was going on. For me, cupping just makes things louder and more irritating - YMMV... | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 Thank you all for the thoughtful feedback. I’m in a large basement room app 15ft x 40ft x 7ft high. So, lots of room to fill but not very high. I have a REL t/9x sub and would like to add another in the near future. Have the LRS set up app. 4ft... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Wow, lots of nice new gear - congrats! Much to my chagrin, I've had nearly no time for audiophilia this year. But, recently managed to pick up a mint Sutherland 20/20 phono pre to replace my Phonomena II. So far, with limited listening time no... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! @thecarpathian thanks for the tip. I too hope to have time to explore at Axpona this year. Missed last year’s show. Darn work! ;-) | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! I've been trying to head towards a lower powered tube system but finding high sensitivity speakers I like without breaking the bank has been tough. So, some used high sensitivity speaks and el34/84 or 6550 amplification would be nice. Perhaps a b... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps Sounds like what you are looking for is definitely a tube setup. With those speaker choices you are in good shape. Lots of good info provided already. I will chime in with my two tube experiences. I had a Jolida 502 brc (entry-level for sure) ... | |
| Audio stores near Bloomington/Normal Illinois? Thanks | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? @harpo75 Sounds like you and I have similar tastes in music. I use to be a metal head but it’s been mostly prog rock, fusion, and jazz for the last 5 or so years. There are some great resources on YouTube like the Prog report, Sea of Tranquilit... | |
| Help me identify an amp Sorry for your loss. But at least you have his gear as a memento. I don't think my pops has anything to leave behind. He was a car guy but got rid of everything some time ago. Best of luck! | |
| Phono stage for second system Just picked up a used Sutherland 20/20 and so far so good. Very smooth and dead quiet. Regular component width and depth size but only 2" high. Excellent build quality IMO. | |
| Weak link I know it's been said over and over but I'll pile on for room treatments if possible. Best bang for the buck IMO. Just putting panels at the first reflection points is pretty much a game changer. At least it was for me. Very cost effective DIY... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? Wouldn’t surprise me. Hell, my Maggie LRS sound better after an hour of playing if I don’t use them for a few days. Could be just my ears but I have noticed this numerous times. |
