| Best cheapo Cartridge The At-150 is a giant killer MM! | |
| Benz Micro Ace SH - retip worth it? I agree re: skis. I still ski my Rossignols even though I have Salomons and Arcs. Hadn't. Thought of sending it back to Benz, but that would be a good idea. Thank you! | |
| Acoustic Zen owners/impressions Amazing speakers. Had the Adagios and heard the Crescendos. Plus, Robert Lee offers excellent service! | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? As has been written earlier, I find it hard to accept a little metal box that sells for $50,000 has the same amount of technology, testing, and time invested of a similarly priced Mercedes. Or that a record clamp is a technological marvel enough t... | |

| 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. |
