If you’re working around your OP’s situation where you have furnishings already in your possession like his Colonial and Chinese pieces, that’s a difficult situation to design around without your speakers clashing with your belongings and being ey... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? I’ve a interior decoration situation similar to kletteri1mann’s. My wife was gracious enough to allow me one room in the house we were designing and building to house my stereo system and a largish flat screen TV. Let your wife have every other ro... | |
| best SACD player Another vote for the Marantz KI Ruby. My only legitimate comparison is to a Marantz 8005, like 8th-note above, that I upgraded from.. The Ruby does a much better job on the high end on my system, clearly delivering content with a clarity and prese... | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? I like Audiogon especially because of some of the regulars who are knowledgeable, helpful, and offer their expertise to the rest of us graciously. I also appreciate the site moderators who have done a good job clearing out trolls over the past yea... | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices What would $8.00 around about 1970 be today corrected for inflation? For that price I got to see Lara Nyro at the Fillmore East for what seemed at the time to be exorbitant New York City prices. I mentioned in a previous post Miles Davis was openi... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Are you all saying the fact they are born evil has nothing to do with it? My late wife once gave me a "honey do" list a full 92 items long. Not one of them was to go out and purchase a new stereo component, not even after completing all 92 tasks. ... | |

| Forced to DIY DIY on things you don’t know anything about can wear you out in short order. Now I’m a DIY person to an extreme. I built our home including the carpentry, electric, plumbing and most of of the HVAC. I also do all my home maintenance work except I’... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? Drlou77, what kind of music are you talking about? With all the music lovers on this site alone I’m sure you could drum up some interest. If you check Ebay you could probably find out what CD’s without jewel cases and artwork might be worth. Some... | |
| Used vs. new Buying used is too much of a crap shoot for me. The fact the person is selling the component makes you wonder why. You don't know how it's been used, or abused. Trying to get more for your dollar buying used is like trying to get something for not... | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... Czarivney. you stated "Fortunately he was locked up and bothered no one with his occasional schizoid aggressions." As a person who spent many decades working in Corrections, I can assure you the risk correctional staff live with being around such ... | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... Great story bdp24. So sad to hear another of the great R&R drummers of that era passing on. Keith Moon, Charlie Watts, and John Bonham immediately come to mind. Like others, I’d no idea of his psych history and incarceration for killing his mo... | |
| What are some good things to do when going to an audition Bring in a CD or record you’re very familiar with so you can readily identify any differences in playback. Bring in a particularly well recorded CD to see how well the equipment deals with that in comparison to your current equipment, and bring in... | |
| Lyra and OMA You probably know that Lyra was way backlogged on their orders last year. I purchsed my Kleos in March of 2022 and finally received it eight months later. If you’re patient it’s probably worth the wait. Takes a bit of time to break in as well once... | |
