| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 jhnnrs is correct in his advice about raising the back of the ESL'S. I have ML Spires. I wasn't hearing much treble until I stood up to make an adjustment and there it was. Treble in spades! I found some books and started playing with the elevatio... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? Anyone ever hear of Lenire? It's a treatment that you do for a half hour each day for about three months. I've read about it but, haven't talked to anyone who has experienced it. They are in the US now. They started in Europe. They don't claim suc... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? More great albums by Lee Morgan are In Search of the New Land and Cornbread. Also, Bill Charlap. His Piano is really good. I have been blown away by Lee Morgan. He was amazing. Another great is Horace Silver! Most of his work is really good. Have ... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? For saxophone Dexter Gordon is a favorite of mine. Most any of his albums are good.

Martin Logan Spires and sub, Butler amp, PSA dac, Marantz dvd/cd player. Over time I've had Klipsch Cornwalls, Carver amp and pre amp, Golden Ear Reference speakers, Par... | |
| Has it all been worth it? Yes. When I found out how much fun I was having I dropped my other hobbies and devoted my time and money exclusively to audio and music. Never looked back. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? It's like woody Allen Said about sex. "There are no bad one's only better" | |
| LoFi I'm here to tell you that some of us are into the music. The only reason I stepped up at all was to hear my favorite artists in a more revealing way. It's why I go to shows and keep digging through Tidal, Spotify, and record bins in stores and gar... | |

AC/DC opened for Aerosmith in 77. Some good shows. My favorite Little Feat opened for Jimmy Buffet in 88 at Fiddle... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions Like BDP24 I had a cabinet made. I have 832 albums and growing. I love it. It's custom made to fit where a trundle bed was. No more having to get down on the floor. It is adjustable and it so nice to have them safely stored and accessible. It also... | |
| What has been a favourite moment in Audio? The rep came from the Twin Cities and the store is in western South Dakota. We thought maybe the tweeter was loosened up in the drive or not tightened up at the factory. He unboxed them at our store. He would leave product at our store to demo. He... | |
| What has been a favourite moment in Audio? One of our favorite reps came out to give us a spiel on some floor standing speakers. I can't remember the brand but, as he was doing his demo he cranked the volume and one of the tweeters leaped about five feet from the cabinet. He looked down at... | |
