| Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k As with all audio components and any other manufactured item for that matter. The more you spend the less increase in perceived performance. Called diminishing returns. I have always dreamed of getting a Coda phono section but just can't justif... | |
| Youngsters these days. " My 24 year old grandson finished his tour in the service recently and has been staying with us for the past several months. He got himself a good job, to help out and take care of himself, while deciding what to do in the future - back to sc... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? I had a Coda Fet 02b preamp about 20 years ago which I bought directly from Coda since they had a large number of circuit boards on hand after the model was discontinued so they did a limited manufacturing run to use the spare inventory up. They ... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Well I collect tools as I am working on projects. Then when I let my daughter and son in law borrow them I have to go collect some more since they hardly ever come back to me. | |
| It happened again tonight OP glad you are having a great audio experience. I used to do that and about 15 years ago I started wondering what was wrong with my system. The treble I remembered just wasn't there any longer.I finally got tired of trying to fix my system and ... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey First off no speaker is going to do everything perfect can't be done. If you expect something to be perfect it simply won't happen.A question when you are doing the demonstration are you doing it with loaners? If so are they new in the box? If ... | |

| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? I started out with AR-11's great bass, good midrange, weak tweeters that blew at the drop of a hat. | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. If you have 25 albums if it were me I wouldn't spend thousands on hardware not even knowing if I wanted to pursue it. Just common sense I think.Just get a decent phono stage if you don't have one, an entry level turntable made by a reputable man... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Anytime a guest moves something around I call that a bold move because it doesn't matter what it is (table, chair, speaker) it's where I want it. I normally chew that person's ass so it won't happen again. | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? When I remodeled my house I did it a room at a time. So the living room ended up in the family room for a period of time. It was a pain but made more sense to me than hauling it to storage for two weeks and then back. Seems like a similar situa... | |
| Which is the most important part of a stereo system? For me it's my ears. Can't do jack without them.But so far as the hardware chain goes source components first as numerous have said | |
| Best songs to test speakers I don't know if my favorite music is appropriate for another person to test speaker performance with since what we like is all personal taste.My approach is to bring my favorite music (both poorly recorded and well recorded).But I have 3 albums I ... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think The bass response is impacted by a bunch of factors, driver design, cabinet design, listening environment volume, and a whole slew of other things.My preference is a smaller driver since there typically isn't as much mass. I typically get good re... | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? I use Blue Jeans Cable from the Seattle area. Their interconnects have very low capacitance, and very reasonable price wise. Quality connectors and so on.Not sure if your Rega has RCA jacks or fixed leads coming out of the tonearm.If the Rega us... |
