| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? @aewarren well played. Reminds me of the classic Sansui adds I would watch as a kid. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bruce Cockburn, "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws" | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Heart, "Heart" (1985). A slightly compressed mid-80’s recording, but there’re way more nuances than expected, perhaps because it's an early pressing/promo copy. "These Dreams" just floats around me. | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? Interesting; I'm antithetical to the OP's MO of one-brand systems, and I'm really not sure why except that it seems too pedestrian. Which is a crap rationale, I realize. But I tend to get nervous if I have even two components made by the same bran... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? The CeLests are now on sale for $3995 as of 1.23.21. Also, you really can't go wrong with the Spatials. They're pretty amazing in every category. | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? That's what she said. | |
| Another subwoofer connection question @russ69 Thank you much. | |

| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range I’ll second Bakoon, having heard their 41 powering Verity’s. They’re as good as Hegel’s.And, oh yeah. The LFD LE Mk6. Absolutely stunning. That and Line Magnetic and Raven would be my choice. | |
| Order of Operations Second the turntable. The Mani punches way above its price point. If you're wary of VPI and Rega - don't be. They're both good, reputable brands and one bad experience shouldn't preclude the rest of the line. However, there are many models of Pro-... | |
| Amplifier tips Your totem staffs are rated at 88 dB efficiency and are 8 ohms for their impedance. The signature ones are rated at 87.5 DB efficiency, also into 8 ohms. Winner winner, chicken dinner!If you're using the original Rega Mira, then you are putting 61... | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range @facten I have the 518 , too. Same thing as the 845? Interesting. | |
| What are the odds...... @noromance I second on the springs. Put four Nobsounds under my VPI and it really made a difference. | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? I ordered a Mani three days ago and it shipped yesterday. | |
| Turn Table Cable Length Wow, MC. That was so productive and helpful to the OP. You're a humble genius shines through yet again. Anyhow, for the OP, there are lots of threads here about the efficiency of interconnect cable length. Generally the shorter the better; however... |
