| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Speakers are so dependent on placement within the room it sounds like it is a 2 fold problem - the room and the placement. I have experienced similar problems with my Linn speakers. One thing that I would suggest trying is elevating, slightly, the... | |
| Why Don't More People Into Music Reproduction At Home Play Around With Musical Instruments I am wondering how similar any instrument played in your living room sounds compared to the same instrument in a completely different setting with different acoustics, with, likely, electronic sound equipment being used and the instrument played i... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? If I understand this somewhat elitist approach correctly, I will no longer be able to appreciate music for what it is unless I learn to play an instrument and can add personal touches to my favorite tunes. I am so disappointed. | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life I'm not sure there is any secret to the "audiophile life" other than to create a sound that pleases you. Many people strive to reach what the music would sound like live but for me at least that is a difficult standard to reach. I have been to n... | |

| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Try contacting Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services. He sounds as though he has been around for a while and he is both patient and very helpful. I have a Modwright modded Oppo 105D and I struggled to find the right tubes. Andy was very helpful in ... | |

| Subwoofer insight. See if it is possible to try the subs before you purchase or it you are able to return if you chose to do so. Feeling like you're missing something is likely to be exactly what will keep you in this hobby and chasing that sound forever. I think mo... | |
| what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'?? For the record, Stereo Review morphed into Sound and Vision. Like many of us, I began reading Stereo Review at a young age when I wasn't quite sure what this hobby was all about. It did, if not always 100% accurate, always provide material that fe... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Whether she moved your speakers, your other furniture or did any other like thing in your home without the courtesy of first discussing it with you, does not sound like a good sign. I think asserting oneself like this in order to control or chang... | |
| Should I expect a discount from dealer for buying and installing complete system I would always ask for a discount and there is no substitute for comparison shopping. In NY we always say, "don't ask, don't get". A reasonable rule of thumb is that a dealer pays somewhere in the area of 60% of retail price. Ask!!!! | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? Is it possible that any part of the accident damage could be covered by insurance? | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! I had a similar experience searching for the tubes that I thought were best when I bought an Oppo that had been modded by Modwright - it's called "tube rolling" and it can be expensive. I finally found a dealer that was most helpful and you might ... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production There has to be more here than meets the eye. How can a company that has been in business for some time suddenly not have the resources to continue to manufacture products that presumably they are making money on. This seems especially hard to bel... | |
| Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday... If you are making money on a product and can get the parts to continue, how can you not have the resources to produce it -isn't that what short term financing is all about it everything else fails? |
