| Should I spike my Forte IIIs Yes. Use cheap vodka or Everclear in smaller proportions. | |
| LFD NCSE MK3 LFD has a well deserved reputation as one of the best-made amplifiers and cables out there. Unless you're an engineer or electronics expert, don't go by layout. Go by sound. | |
| Advice please. You're going to spend ~$3500 for the RF-7's new. I just feel for that price you can get a pair of a much better used Dali, Ac. Zen, or Zu | |
| Advice please. +1 on the Acoustic Zens! I used to own a pair and really, really enjoyed them. Moved on to my current Spatials only because they pair better with my amplifier. But the Adagios are killer speakers that resolve beautifully no matter the volume. Try ... | |
| Advice please. The good news is that your amp is going to drive just about anything! And 20x20 is not a "rather small" listening room - that's a lot of space to fill.With that in mind, the aforementioned Reference 3A SEMA and the PMC will do well. You should al... | |

| Two Canadians and a Dane walk into a bar.... (bookshelf advice) I've owned both the de Capo BE (I installed the tweeters) and the Totem Sky. Having said that, I'd recommend you call both manufacturers and let them know your amp and see what they say Tash at Reference is accessible and honest. I've never touch... | |
| Go Buy Some Music You Deadbeat Streamers! @big_greg. Exactly. Streaming leads to physical (vinyl) purchase for me. And I can't remember the last time I bought a cd. I do stream tons, though. And go to a ton of live shows. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook Interesting. I went from the Goldnote PH10 to an LFD and felt the improvement was incredible. | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life Develop your secrecy skills if you have a spouse. Always claim that a particular piece of equipment costs much less than you actually paid for it. Phrases like, "I got a great deal on Audiogon!" or "It was actually way less than I expected because... | |
