| VTA for Sumiko tonearm? The base collar. As of now I have to do gross adjustments with the entire tonearm column. | |
| What is a lowball offer? How low is low? I love haggling both as a buyer and a seller. Sadly, some people see haggling as an insult, which I've always found odd insofar as if someone matches my asking price, I tend to get suspicious. But offering below the asking price - and below what ... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? I think it's easy love music without being an audiophile. Most of the planet does. An audiophile likes the playback of that music in such a way that it fits their version of sonic reality. | |
| How loud do you play music? When I'm alone in the house, about 98-100 db. I love loud music! | |
| Refurbishing 1973 Large Advent speaker I would upgrade the caps and get a new pair of drivers. The DIY audio forum will have all the info youll need. | |
| Good Inexpensive Amp for Back Yard Speakers Don't know your exact budget, but for two hs-2 outdoor speakers, a decent cheap receiver should do well. Something from Yamaha or Onkyo. | |
| Anyone experienced with Emerald Physics speakers? I have Spatials, the successor of sorts to EP. Absolutely beautiful sounding speakers. Huge soundstage, lots of nuances, and just fun to listen to music with. you should email Eric after the holiday and see what he says about them. | |

| Black Ash..... And yet a beautifully done burl is so much more attractive than black ash veneer. | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Yes, you're materialistic and, yes, you love your hobby and the music behind it. Admit it. Embrace it. Revel in it. And reign it in when it starts to overwhelm you. | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... I get the OP; that feeling of "saudade", the Portuguese word for the yearning for a time and circumstance that will never return. It's got nothing to do with CD's themselves, but what their sudden absence indicates about change. Much like when Bor... | |
| Best 80s New Wave The Fixx has always been close to my heart. As has Roxy Music.Would The Cure's "Disintegration" be considered New Wave? | |
| Question about background noise @mijostyn -- It's not a matter of wanting silence; it's just curiosity about what was causing the noise/hollowness on some LP's but not on others. | |
| Question about background noise I think the increased fidelity of the Simaudio might be more revealing than the Lehmann I was using before. It's also a case of the particular LP, too. Some of my rock lps have little to no background hollowness; it's the acoustic recordings and t... |
