Do you adjust your subwoofer
I have a separate set-up for movies with a cheap sub that works just fine.  I never touch it.   But, I am an occasional tweaker of my REL t9/x sub in the main system.  First, it depends on what speakers I am using at the moment.  If the Snell Typ... 
Tubes for Rogue Audio Perseus Magnum Preamplifier
@topten  I know this is a very old thread but I am in the same boat right now and wondering what you came up with.  Thanks  
What do/did you do for a living?
@ozzy  Thanks for the kind words!    
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
@audiodwebe  Like you, I have not heard many dacs. Started with a Jolida glass dac and it really didn't sound any better than my MacBook. Bought a Bluesound and started streaming with that. Heard a slight improvement to my ears. Then on to a Dena... 
What do/did you do for a living?
Fun and interesting thread! I’m a plant guy for the last 30 years. Grower, garden center manager, now landscape designer/sales for the last 16 yrs. I’m 57 and was hoping to retire at my current position but landscaping is a crap show these days w... 
Another Golden Ear test.
Geez, is there alcohol involved in many posts lately?  I think I need some more whiskey to catch up to the OP.  
What was your first record?
Cheap Trick Live at Budokan Played on my ultra low end TT/8 track combo unit.  Can't remember the brand to save my soul!  
Taxation using PP G&S
Thanks for all of the responses.  You guys are great.  Sounds like with the small time stuff I deal with there should be no problems.   Regards  
Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?
If the offer is not totally low-balled I will usually try to negotiate.  But, I always respond just to be polite.  Are low-ballers a PITA?  Sure, but being polite is pretty easy.  I always try to remember and take the high road so to speak.   Cas... 
Odyssey Audio Kismet Mono Blocks
@soix  Thanks for the info.  I will look into Liberty.  
Matching the cartridge to the phono stage
@ajones82  I was like you a couple of years ago.  Wanted to get into vinyl again but had no idea.  Back in the day I just put a record on and dropped the needle!  Never knew there was so much to learn.  Still don't know much about the specs, numb... 
Are Sales Down
If my recent experience is any indication, I'd say sales are indeed down.  I've had an ARC tube pre listed for 5 months now.  Really, all I've had is low-ballers.  ARC gear usually goes pretty quickly and for decent prices as far as I've seen over... 
Odyssey Audio Kismet Mono Blocks
@soix  That is always a great question isn't it.  I enjoy imaging and soundstaging overall I think.  Instrument separation and air/space always puts a smile on my face.  That's probably why I prefer tubes.  My Rogue tube amp/pre combo is the best... 
Odyssey Audio Kismet Mono Blocks
Thanks for the replies.  Wow if the Odysseys are a little smoother up top that would be something!  One of the best attributes about the Hegel, IMO, is the smooth presentation.  I would have to sell the Hegel to purchase the Kismets.  Something I'... 
Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!
@soix  Man I wish those Devores were in Chicago.  I'd probably jump on them!
