| 12'x16'x8' room OK for good stand mounts? Don't rule out trying ProAc D2 or D2R on very sturdy stands. They are very warm and natural sounding, especially with string and reed instruments, and might be a little bit more flexible in the distance from the front wall. | |

| Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening? WHARFEDALE Denton 80th Anniversary Bookshelf Speakers I have them in my bedroom system. Very relaxed and warm with good bass. Music Direct has them marked down. | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I've tried many, most of them were some kind of humbuster approach as I have a lot of DC on the line which makes my preamp hum. All of them I tried killed system dynamics with or without the amp plugged into it. The only one that removed most of... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? I am thinking of getting a Bluesound Node 2i to replace my tuner which is my 6+ (hours) x 7 days music source when I am not listening to vinyl or AV source. I have a great jazz + NPR (KNKX), classical (KING) and classic rock (KZOK), all of course... | |
| Preamp recommendation I really like my audio refinement separates. The Pre-5 is a great preamp but has a lot of gain. | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 I love my AT-33PTG/II for $500 from 2juki on eBay. Many great reviews for both cartridge and seller, many saying best cartridge under $1000. Is a low MC microline and is an excellent and accurate tracker. Might be worth a try and then buy more ... | |

| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I have some cherry linn tukans in excellent shape from a bedroom system. They do very well up against the wall. Contact me if interested - $435 shipped with insurance. | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable PS Audio has made power cords with removable ground pins in the past. Not sure if they currently make them. Sounds like the best bet is to get an electrician out to solve the wiring problem. | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Audio Refinement made by YBA including YBA amplification. | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think I love the bass that comes from the dual 2.5 way 6.5" drivers in my ProAc Studio 148s. Additionally, using some foam bungs to tune the downward firing ports and Soundocity outriggers really puts out the experience I've been looking for before I g... |
