| Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones @tweak1 - to me the only negative of the open baffle design are their looks. If they are for a dedicated listening room (or man cave/basement) where a physics lab type look is not a big deal they're fine, versus in a den (where my system is) where... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Paul Simon One Trick Pony. Title track, but very unheralded album. I think it's about Art Garfunkel. Doubt he'd admit it though. | |

A loss leader, unless maybe it is a tiny company hoping for a couple home runs. Rega makes a $40K turntable and KEF makes $230K speakers. Te... | |

| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Turntables are not better for any type of music. Turntables are supposed to be "dead" and let the cartridge do the work along with the phono stage. Same as the tonearm. It should be properly isolated if the table doesn't provide sufficient isolati... | |
