Am I the only one wiht speaker cozys ?
erik,I'm with you on this.  I'm sort of amazed so few people think of the idea of covering their speakers.I really like a nice room decor and hate to ruin things with a pair of either ugly speakers, or even with just the wrong speaker finish.  (I ... 
Am I the only one wiht speaker cozys ?
My home theatre speakers (and I occasionally use my L/Rs for music listening) are all covered in black velvet. (Except the front of course).In this case it is to eliminate any light reflection from the speakers back to my projection screen, and al... 
Vinyl playback is still a secret
What an interesting thread to visit.  Back when vinyl was essentially dead, yet just when the very beginnings of the vinyl revival is being hinted at.I'm very happy it came back.  I hadn't had so much fun from my system in years, since I got a goo... 
Best building material for vibration free shelving
@skyscraper,I was in a similar position not long ago when I bought my heavy new Transrotor turntable and had to modify my existing flimsy rack to accommodate it and create an isolation base.Reading the many threads and forums, and soliciting info ... 
Devore Nines vs. 0/93's
Hi dgarger,In case it helps: You will find a lot of my own reports and descriptions listening to the Devore speakers (especially the 0/93s that I was considering) in this thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/contemplating-devore-speakers-... 
New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer?
rvpiano,I have a vivid imagination, but when comes to music and things aural, I have a pretty good ear.Then you are well placed to do a blind test.  Of course no one is forcing you to and I don't mean to at all.  What I'm saying is that you are as... 
New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer?
jbrrp1,I’m an engineer, and I used to believe on principle that power cords could not make a difference (assuming adequate current capability). But actual listening trials converted me from a skeptic on "theory" into a believer in practice. Sighte... 
Thiel Owners
When I was designing my new home theater room in 2009, a pal gave me some Thiel Power Points to try out.   They were very impressive, such clever engineering, and they worked as advertised.Ultimately I preferred a bigger richer,  relaxed sound so ... 
Am I hearing things (you don't) ????
@ron17I’ve read a little about Desyncra before. Though it hasn’t had nearly the amount of discussion (that I’ve seen) as TRT-like treatments.It seems based on a similar idea, though I’ve seen a bit of skepticism cast it’s way by some TRT experts. ... 
Am I hearing things (you don't) ????
n80, (and others) thanks for your contribution!As a Natural Born Skeptic, I've been wary of many of the claims for Tinnitus treatment (including ginkgo biloba and all sorts of other claims).TRT doesn't have nearly the level of study and documentat... 
New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer?
Just giving something to think about rvpiano.  But as you already seem on the side of "it will make a difference" then, hey, it's your coin :) 
New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer?
I'm sure the cable that came with your speakers is just fine.Before you go swallowing audiophile lore about cables and (likely) spending unnecessary money, consider:The concept seems utterly ridiculous on it's face:  this idea that a manufacturer,... 
Am I hearing things (you don't) ????
I just find it strange that someone starts a thread asking for people’s experience with a concerning health problem he is having, he receives detailed and hopefully helpful replies....which includes people who have the same issue....and he doesn’t... 
Thiel Owners
There's a much sought after, classic Conrad-Johnson Premier 350 (350w) amp for sale right on on Agon!  A number of Thiel owners over the years have thought this was the best amp they ever tried on Thiels.  They don't come up very often and if timi...
