| Best furniture to act as bass trap Toilets make a great bass trap. They are customizable too - depending where you sit and/or the fluid/solid levels you can tune them for the best sound. The only drawback is fitting the rest of your gear in the toilet - usually the door won’t close... | |
| Turntable? I like vintage sound. Pioneer or Denon or Technics from the late 70’s for TT. For cartridge I like the FM radio broadcast sound of the Denon 110. For vinyl I would only by Japanese unless you are willing to risk quality | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Sorry to see you were swindled. At least it was still a fairly low price you paid.I find it amazing AZ can make speakers so cheaply. The finish looks great but maybe one of them sat in the sun. That is a huge amount of wood working and finishing. | |
| Best produced rock albums......... Joe Walsh - most of his stuff sounds great - as does The Eagles - Hell freezes over live is a great album | |
| Best produced rock albums......... Tom Petty Full Moon Fever Damn the Torpedoes, Wildflowers, Live AnthologyThe Cult She sells SanctuaryThe Clash London CallingVan Halen (all albums) | |
| ATC ACTIVE VS PASSIVE ATC active is most important for their three ways. In a two way you could go either way (passive or active) with great results provided the passive amp is beefy (at least 150 watts on the SCM 20). | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... These fuses are quite a bit more expensive. If you have not tried them then you don’t have an opinion. Logically this must be 1000’s of times better than the very small but quite effective SR fuses.https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/scientist-holding... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Isn’t this thread a thinly disguised and deliberate attempt at trolling? It starts off with an appeal to authority and then goes on to aggressively attack those who do not hear any differences; "cognitive dissonance" and "hearing for crap" and "sh... | |

| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Not heard these yet. The woofer construction appears to be world class JL audio style for ultra low distortion at high SPL. This is serious engineering! Many loudspeakers and buyers seem to underestimate how badly outsourced lower quality woofers... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @veroman LOL. I didn't comment when Doug brought up religion and Darwin and then he immediately proceeded to denigrate me for responding on the very topic of digression he raised. I think he had a bad day. I have those too. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @oregonpapa I don't buy the purity argument. We are talking about modern electrical power to a modern power supply and not medieval alchemy. I do buy many many of the tweaks you mention. Not so much power cords but I do believe power conditioner... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @knghifi. Everything sounds the same? Huh?Not sure if you are kidding or have no experience. Of course equipment makes a difference.Clearly faulty or badly designed equipment is causing several audiophiles grief here. They are finding large audib... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Are you actually saying that the highest resolution systems magnify everything including power supply variations and everything else unrelated to the source?Have you not considered that a system that magnifies the impacts of a fuse is likely... |
