| Your most indispensable "tweak"? A pair of Bose Noise Canceling 700 headphones for my wife! My listening room is too close to our living room and there was always the TV vs Stereo sound level battle. I lost the battle but won the war! Best $400.00 I ever spent on audio!! | |

| I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for! Not audio related but a "What would you do" story. About 15 years ago I was pulling into a tight parking spot with a friends pick up. I usually drive a minivan and the truck handles differently. I bumped a Toyota Corolla in the process a small but... | |
| Can a solid state integrated amp pair well with Focal 1038Be? Some of the Class A amps mentioned are very good I had the ATC SIA2 for a while and it is a very good amp. Depending on the amount of inputs you need look into the Digital Amplifier Companies (DAC) offerings. I'm currently using the 2 Cherry with ... | |
| Upgrade to floor standing. If you can find them older used Snell floorstanders are a great way to go. The A,B,C,and D series are well within your budget. I had the C IV and CV for a while and sold them to a friend who still listens to them. Good luck | |
| Need advice! Do I upgrade DAC or buy a new player? For a CD player look into the Sparkler Audio s503 ($1600) I have one and the NOS Dac sounds fantastic! I use it now as a transport and it rivals some of the best I’ve had! Been around this hobby for a loooong time and have had a lot of gear but th... | |

| Think fast: What would you take? We had a similar situation here in NJ back in 2012 with hurricane Sandy. In audio terms take any rare valuable collectable albums/recording you might have. Then I would take a lot of pictures of your home every inch if possible. Open every cabinet... | |
| What other hobby... Is there a difference between a hobby and a pastime? Dunno | |
| What other hobby... Seems to me that no matter what hobby your into there is an industrial complex behind it to drive you into insanity! There is always the upgrade, MKII, and newer better technology that keeps us running like rats to a dumpster! I’m a golfer, boat o... | |
| Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers can you compare Charney with Tektone or Volti ?I have never listened to Tektons but Volti yes at the 2015 NY show. Volti was exhibiting a few rooms down and across the hall from Charney. Volti had his large horns and bass unit, the name escapes me... | |

| Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers I prefer a single full range driver to multiple drivers. I have a pair of Charney Audio horns and love what they do. Over the years I’ve had multiple driver towers, 2-way bookshelf’s, open baffle, etc... None have ever come close to the intimacy o... |
