| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." If it's just a transport, I've suggested this for the price on other threads.https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/products/hi-fi/cx-series-2/cxcPrice/looks, it's a winner. Plug in a nice DAC, temporary escape from record madness. I have an older ... | |
| And yet another of our heroes passes into the night, RIP Ginger Baker! He's now doing the great gig in the sky.Hanging out with Moon, Bonham and all the rest. No having to deal with trying to cancel your cable TV subscription or traffic. | |
| Ginger The beat goes on...Too young to understand/experience The Cream, or catch Ginger in any of his later accomplishments. I did however get turned on to Cream from a hand me down "Goodbye" a couple of years after its release. Thank goodness for DVD's... | |

| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? I always thought the Phoenix Engineering setup made sense. Why hi end manufacturers don't incorporate a real time speed monitoring/ adjusting setup is odd.https://sotaturntables.com/products/total-eclipse-package/Measure speed while playing, adjus... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I don't understand why manufacturers don't post 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?It would make speaker selection much easier. | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? This IS an interesting thread to read from nearly 20 years!The take away.....?Less B/M stores. Survivors, or newer stores have to be adaptable to the Nth degree. Buyers have even more options. Anyone considering to get into audio retail needs a b... | |
| cables for GUITARISTS from audio companys I found out in the late 70's NOTHING will make a guitar or amp sound better than the player.Cables? I read in a Guitar player mag SRV was partial to some cheap,probably made in China cable for his tone. It was his hands and heart(and volume knob)t... | |

| AT OC9 XEB? Thanks for the advice Chakster.My thinking is just having a $300 cheapielike the small tire car manufacturers provide as the spare. | |

| Something I made :) I will be "that guy"Awful music, and looks like the plasma ball from the Spencer Store at the mall, circa 1975.Definitely not for relaxing. Even different music wouldn't help with that thing.No offense, just reporting what I just experienced. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... I have heard the Forte's in different setups and they all were positive. They gave me the "transport to a different time" feeling.That feeling is being in an audio store as a teenager in the 70's,and being wowed by everything.The only thing I can... |
