| Nobosound Springs Have them underneath my VPI tt and made the stage open up even more. Well worth the price! What Decware speakers do you have? | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Focal 806 monitors. Just a dry and lifeless sound. Didn't work for me and I sold them pretty quickly to someone who appreciated them. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? It's like the classic audiophile cartoon with two men talking over a system and one says, "When I die I sure hope my wife doesn't sell all this for as much as I told her I paid for it." | |
| OPPO 105 VS Schiit Gungnir Necro reply here, but I now have this exact same setup and can attest that the Gungnir is a definite sonic improvement over the Oppo alone. I have the Oppo feeding a Morrow Dig3 digital cable into the Gungnir, which then feeds Clear Day RCAs into ... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? Since this is a used gear site, the art of bargaining and negotiating is in full swing. If I list a unit for, say, $2K, and someone offers $1100. I'm not insulted; I just counter with $1950. That either silences them or they climb the steep hill a... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Question: what's a good pressing of Ravel's " Le Tombeau De Couperin" | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I was surprised when the store employees started dialing in song selections from their iPads. There was a McIntosh turntable in the room and I had brought some vinyl, but at no time did the store emps ask about it or offer to play. They said they ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @wrm57 my space could easily accommodate the CW4s. It's just a matter of finding the circumstances to audition them at my place. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV In this room, the Cornwalls were tightly cornered with little to no space between front and side walls. A McIntosh MA352 was the amplification and some streaming/iPad platform was the source. I have the feeling these speakers weren't presented as ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I've owned Triangles before. These Cornwalls in this room just seemed too muddy and smeary. YMMV | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Okay, an update. I had the chance to listen to the Cornwalls today at The Sound Room here in st. Louis. It was a Klipsch Heritage event complete with artisan whiskey tastings. Impressions: the room was nicely treated acoustically. And Much Too Sma... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... @andy2 Legit curious question: What more than 1's and 0's constitutes digital signal? |
