| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... "My wife and I paid every year and always a few thousand extra. Since being retired, we now get a refund of a couple of thousand." stereo5- that's great. I am looking forward to joining that seemingly elusive club. I've got 7 years to go until F... | |
| Rega p10 vs SME 12A If you decide on the Rega P10, most certainly get the Aphelion. Rega is for someone who wants a "high enough" performance with plug and play convenience. I say "high enough" because upper level setups require a certain amount of obsession and neu... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... "Save some more for the heavy floor bracing" Slaw-Im on 100 year old floors. 800 lbs of Tech Das indeed requires proper staging. I could put it in the garage and stare at it. | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... The whole process of check writing, addressing envelope and affixing stamp is painful. Letting go of the envelope in the mailbox is a traumatic experience. TGIF. Happy Weekend. | |
| LSA 20 Statements review "I have no idea if they are coated copper beryllium or not." ddonicht-keeping with the price point reasoning, it's safe to say they are not true beryllium tweeters. Typical models start around $10K. They really cheaped out not providing a more s... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp It's an audio forum... People don't want to give up on their fuses and assorted other quantum kniffle frequency boosters. Atmasphere and other legit manufacturers who post here will always get pushback from the other "experts." mitchb- hopefull... | |
| LSA 20 Statements review They look like nice speakers, especially if you got them for the $2600 introductory price. Just as nice as any other speakers in the $6K price point. From the website: "a custom LSA 1” copper beryllium dome tweeter" I believe that means "coate... | |
| Reversing hearing loss with regenerative therapy Encouraging news. Hopefully when the technology gets perfected and approved, the insurance companies will also be on board, so everyone can benefit from it. | |
| hana sl or one of the AT-ART9? Phono cartridges, speakers and amplifiers are not genre specific. How many times does Atmasphere need to chime in with this fact? | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? I live blocks away from the Long Beach Grand Prix going on today. I don't follow Indy series, but it sure sounds cool hearing a swarm of 10,000lb bees screaming around the block. This weekend also brings out the goofballs driving their exotic su... | |
| hana sl or one of the AT-ART9? You will need around 65db gain in your phono stage to use the XA. XA may have a subjective refined presentation compare to the XI. Both are a solid choice. XA air core aligns with more exotic(expensive)low output cartridges. "or there is stil... | |

| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... "sounds like you are saying I can’t share by with the Hagerman Trumpet?" Absolutely not. It’s just considering what you will have invested in the complete table assembly. Your sports car with budget tires? By all the positive reports by user and... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... $5K table ONLY, suggest you're prepared to invest in proper equipment. That suggest you're gonna be $8-10K deep fully dressed. Don't skimp on phono stage. $3-5K (used in that range will buy something very nice)will get a proper model. Whatever... | |
| Classical? Chinese Music Give Kitaro a listen. A blend of traditional Japanese intstruments along with World/New Age influences. I have been a Kitaro fan since the 90’s. Excellent as part of "decompression therapy’ for a challenging day. |
