| What is the proper loudness for listening? @ditusa Well, OK. When I worked as a baker in Eugene, our sole means of ventilation was a small fan mounted in 3X3' window. Standing over a mixer churning flour dust into the air all day, I was concerned about my respiratory health. I called O... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? I have a big space and the system doesn't really come alive much under 75db. Having read somewhere that listening above this level on a regular basis can lead to hearing loss, I don't exceed it. I have no wish to compound the damage already done... | |
| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? I worked as as a bagel baker in Portland, Maine. The owners had studied in NYC with traditional bagel bakers and we did it right -- baked on boards, not sheet-pans. Bagels steam on sheet-pans -- that's no way to get the proper texture/crust.

| Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC @audphile1 Very curious. You run tube monoblocs and a tube pre-amp yet do not find the A. Copper too warm yet with my SS Hegel H390, the A. Copper cast a deep gloom over the music. The rest of my system , while tipped to the warm side of neutral... | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC Nevermind -- I forgot I'd asked about this same topic last year! Aging Brain Syndrome strikes again! | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions @jolywins "Improvisation is the heart and soul of Jazz music". Amen, brother! | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions @clearthinker So, you mean: Jazz absent the improvisational; aspect? That ain't Jazz! | |
| Flexible room treatment material??? OK. Thanks.to all. The consensus seems to be "an ordinary quilt/tapestry/rug". @kota1 I was thinking of the front face of the hearth, rather than the top. | |

| Good-sounding audio components? I try to buy from sellers who offer a return policy so I can hear gear in my system, in my room. I got burned very early, basing purchases on showroom demos and vowed to never make that mistake again. That being said, there will be circumstanc... |
