| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? Don't be flummoxed into falling into a hole of improvements. GIK acoustics do picture panels so you can combine art with diffusers / absorbers. I have 3 art absorbers back wall with 2 corner tritraps. I have 2 diffusers on stands I move into place... | |
| My System's Weakest Link - What Say You... Put the speakers on isoacoustics feet or a platform like Townshend.... This and room treatment made the biggest differance to my listening room (7m 5m x 3.4m high) | |

| Turntable matching to MC or MM cart. I stuck with turntable make and went from Rega MM to MC Apheta II on my RP8 ... I guess those cartridges are designed for my TT so I could easily hear the difference (Phono stage was MM/MC).Reviews of others are great but I just wanted it to work... | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” Marantz KI signature models.... Sony as mentioned.... And luxman also seem consistent even valve to SS | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else I use Luxman with large tannoy ardens... Great control of massive 15 inch driver but musical from mouse level to house breaking.... And that's just the supposed 20w from the Luxman ax550 II..... If speakers above 93db ish then no problem | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Worst Bob dylan in glasgow 2004. Played most the gig with back to audience. Session muso's staring at Bob trying to work out what he was playing and where he was goingLazy disrespectful and working to pay off a tax bill. Still have his music on sa... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I keep thinking how elegantly simple my rig would be with a lovely integrated, a turntable, and a music server, instead of the array of mostly black boxes I know have. :)This is what I did - I have efficient Tannoy 95db so went dor smaller luxman... | |
| Need speaker advice If you have to change speakers... Klipsch way.. Heresy IV are super refined and a world better than III or go for forte or Cornwall.... Yum | |

| Best upgrade for cd player? Audiolab cdt 6000 transport and DAC like chord qutest will whip the opposition of 4x the price. Too scary good for the low price | |
