| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) +1 for Reference 3A. This Canadian company makes incredible speakers that sound way expensive more than their price would indicate. Also, Decware Speakers. More known for his components, Steve Deckert makes several very good speakers. How does he ... | |
| Stands? What speakers do you want to mount? | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? @playpen I would love to hear Pines of Rome live. How was it? | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Eric Johnson a few weeks ago. Been wanting to see him since I first heard Ah Via Music back in 1991. What a talented and inspiring musician. | |
| Classic Over-reaction! Hat's off to @atmasphere . Many of us tend to get uber-paranoid over things that are probably inconsequential. I defer to a master amplifier maker over my paranoia. But I'm still going to get a dedicated line installed... | |

| Classic Over-reaction! I had a dedicated line put in at our last place, but since moving I haven't gotten around to it, I will eventually should I continue with this hobby. Or I'll sell everything and take my family to New Zealand for a few weeks. | |
| New in 2018 @slaw Don't know if it was you who introduced me to Glen Hansard, but I'm glad to whomever did. His 'Between Two Shores' lp has been wonderful in the new playlist. | |

| Rega Planar 3 So it's interesting to work backward on this.Grounding wire issue? If so, then the hum should be there no matter where on the disc the tonearm is. The grooves towards the spindle tend to be less bass-heavy and more out of alignment then the two nu... | |
| Classic Over-reaction! @jond What was the problem exactly? Cable was loose? | |
| Benz Micro Ace Sh hours @dill Hey. I tube rolled the originals with GE 5751's a while ago. I think it's a combo of my VTA and perhaps my alignment. I haven't checked things since the gentleman who sold me the turntable delivered it and set everything up a few years ago.... | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits Yes - "Ride Across the River" is a reference track for dynamics and aural pleasure. | |
| Verity speakers opinions/experience? @ebm I don't know. My speakers now - AZ Adagios - are wonderful in their own right. But you know how the bug always bites you if you're not careful. | |
| Verity speakers opinions/experience? I've never heard a negative reaction to them and I love their high performance/low profile business model. I'd be willing to buy a used pair of Finns (all I can afford) sound unheard. |
