| Etiquette for a listening session? And again - this is not a gender thing at all. A few male friends have also, as @gshepardbuster mentioned, shown themselves to be afraid of silence. I hadn't considered that a factor before but it makes sense. I'm perfectly happy being alone for h... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? In my ersatz defense, @asp307 and others, I had invited my friend over to listen to some tunes - specifically - and he texted, "Can I bring my wife?" Which turned it into a dinner invitation. So should I have abandoned the original invite and ju... | |
| recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750 I second the Rotel 1072. One of the best underpriced players out there. | |
| best integrated amp. LSA Statement | |
| Recent experience with Gershman Avant Garde I ended up going with a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios- which I'm very happy with. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive To quote from Wiki:"Adam Smith recognized that commodities may have an exchange-value but may satisfy no use-value, such as diamonds, while a commodity with a very high use-value may have a very low exchange-value, such as water."But if Magico, ... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Hey - one more question. The Spin-Clean has those two immersed brushes, right? After you manually rotate the lp three or four times, you're then to take it out and let it drip the "bathwater" for a few seconds, then dry it with the supplied cloths... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? @cleeds No, my mind wasn't made up beforehand, but yours obviously was insofar as the histrionics of your replies.I get it: you're passionate about a vinyl cleaning machine. I'm ambivalent, really. If I had 3000 lp's, maybe I'd invest in one, as ... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? Truthfully, I'd prefer a studio sound than a live concert sound. Especially after the last few gigs I've been at. | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? @whart Look, man, there was no antagonism implied or intended. Especially not if people are going to get bent out of shape over a question about a mechanical device. "Most folks are allergic to hype, and I’m not going to tell you that veils were ... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? @cleeds To each his own. Thank you for clarifying some of the economical and mechanical reasons behind my original question.And yes, as you condescendingly point out, when "that little holiday is over" all I'll have is "photos and memories." Howev... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Thank you, @hodu . I wasn't complaining at all but merely saying that in terms of vinyl cleaners, I had a very basic one and wanted to know what separated it from a $3K one. And, @whart and @cleeds , I'm not complaining about anything. I'm simply... | |
| greeting ,some advice from the masters please.. Yes, the LSA is a tremendously under-rated keeper. I like my Adagios. I've only had them for about six months, so I'm still getting used to them, and they've only been in the new room for maybe three months, but they're very transparent and very p... | |
| greeting ,some advice from the masters please.. My dimensions are 19' wide by 17' deep. I sold the ARC a lifetime ago and use a beautiful sounding LSA Statement integrated. | |
| greeting ,some advice from the masters please.. I have Adagios, but I used to own Maggie 3.6R's, powered by an ARC VS-110. They would be too big in my current space, but no other speaker I've owned projected as much as they did. They simply filled the room with rippling music. |
