Has anyone had success converting friends?
Been in this hobby 27 years. Up until about 16 years ago coworkers and friends were coming up to me to set them up.Gradually that has changed. The last 10 years it has been almost impossible to talk about it. Surround sound and DVDs and even car r... 
is there a website that has the schedules of shows
Audio clubs like Chicago Audio society have manufactors visit some monthly. Hopefully there is a club in Ne. that does this. I also suggest the ROCKY MOUNTAIN AUDIO FEST. It is a good time but rooms a problem for most manufactors. But you still ge... 
Help me choose Parasound or McCormack
I have had a number of amps in my system. Audio Research, B&K, MFA, Atma-Sphere, Odyssey, Krell and McCormack. Atma-Sphere is my favorite but at the time heat was a factor. The Odyssey I tried because I was setting it up in a friends system. P... 
How do I build the best room
Kevin: I built my room in the basement also. The biggest problem I am having is eliminating the upstair noise. Footsteps being the biggest problem. So far have disconnected the ceiling from the floor truss and put in ceiling joist. Not even the wa... 
How long to wear a record out?
AudioFeil is right on. I have been in this hobby for 27 years and all but several of my LPs are fine. Keep the LPs clean and tone arm and cartridge properly aligned including tracking force. The several LPs that I do not consider fine I cannot exp...

Review: S P Technology Revelation MR-l MK lll Speaker
Thanks for the review Teajay and also for answering my question on the Vonwaffen review. I read on audiocircle that the capacitors alone in the Extreme crossover weigh about 40 pounds. Is that true? I hope to audition this speaker some day. SP Tec... 
Review: SP Technology Timepiece 2.1 Monitor
Thanks for the review. I enjoyed it and learned a little bit to. I have some interest in the Revelation so reading anything about SP Technology is informative for me. I will be calling SP Technology to ask questions. One of them is about the cabin... 
Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker
I heard Jon is not doing so well. I did not know he was in an accident. Blue strat can you give an update on how Jon is doing now? Nice system. I have heard Janus subs in several systems and like them. They are definently not one note bass. 
Audiokinesis Speakers
I was at the RMAF show also. The Jazz Modules are great. He was using Atma-sphere amp and pre amp. It was the best I heard Atma-sphere. Realistic energy but yet smooth. I agree with slowhand the cabinets are beautiful. I visited the room 3 times a... 
How many hours weekly do you listen to your system
I listen on average about 1 hour a week. But I enjoy that 1 hour a lot. However if I could I would listen about 4 hours a week. That would be enough for me. Work is a big reason for the lack of time the other is a motorcycle hobby. I am almost 53 ...

How isolated is your hi-fi?
My room is in the basement. The mistake I made is the walls go up to the floor truss and the cieling is constructed on the floor truss. I hear footsteps and the music can be heard upstairs. The walls and cieling will have to be disconnected from t... 
Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF:
WhartI attended many CES shows when they were in Chicago years ago. Back then the good stuff was in the hotel rooms separate from the mass produced stuff. The show was intended for dealers but it was still a good time for the hobbiest like us. The...
