| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Emotiva pre-pro Sold within a short time. Lots of issues. Sounded OK when it wasn't constantly switching "modes". | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade Room treatments. | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? Folks bought me a CRAIG all-in-one in 1974 or so. Turntable, 8-track, and tuner. It made music and drove a pair of Koss headphones to my liking. A couple of buddies were CB geeks. It was a big thing back then. They also had real stereos, so I... | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others I'm in the middle of a project treating a room exactly the same size as yours. I went DIY for a couple of reasons. Delayed shipping from vendors, mostly. There's a lot of info on YouTube regarding treating mastering rooms/studios. All the sam... | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I tried the GR-Research kit for the Klipsch RP-600m They certainly sound different. Better? That's in the ear of the beholder. I like them with the mods. The kit lowers the sensitivity of the speakers quite a bit. I did the mod on one speake... | |

| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? Another vote for Frank Van Alstine, although I'm pretty sure his gear isn't expensive enough or pretty enough for the rarified waters here.For great customer service it's hard to beat Bryston, although far from a boutique builder. | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? My head hurts... | |

| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? Yes, it will. | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Listening for soundstage and detail retrieval I use music I know inside and out.Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love - Fantastic 3D soundstage. It will wrap completely around you, 360° if the system is capable.Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath/Fat Man ... | |
| Would Appreciate Advice Before I Buy The RP-600m at Klipsch's new price is overpriced IMHO, and I own a pair.I would look at ELAC's DBR-62 (I also own ELACs, but not the reference).You may want to consider the used market fr speakers. You can either save a few bucks, or spend your b... | |
| Black Ice(former Jolida Company)new integrated amp opinions If the new models are an improvement over the Jolida branded items, they should be decent.I had a Jolida integrated for a couple of years. It weighed a ton, so I think they put the money in transformers and saved by using PCBs and cheap controls.... |
