| An audio component you just can't let go 30 yo VPI 19 Mk IV turntable. Modified with a SOTA Total Eclipse standalone motor assembly and modified suspension. I know it has a well bearing and relatively small (11 inch/16 pound) platter, but its lead/delrin/cork construction sounds nice en... | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker +1@sounds_real_audio Started with Wilson Benesch Trinitys and replaced with Vectors 6 years ago. 2.5 way design with sublime midrange. Smaller cabinet than others of equivalent performance because of carbon fiber design. | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear Define vintage. Is it like cars where 25 years old qualifies for an "antique" license plate? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Another small cable manufacturer that I have faith in is Empirical Design. Been in business for years, doesn't advertise, all word-of-mouth. | |

| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio I run the Audiokinesis distributed bass array. I found this article, recommended by Duke LeJeune, to be helpful for placement of multiple subs. Tried to post a link but it kept including the entire 30 page pdf. So Duck Duck Go cut and paste:... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? It appears iguanas may be okay... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? If you have a dedicated room, it need not look ugly. I find great auditory and visual pleasure in my space. As I leave the reflective spaces in the rest of my house and enter my room, it is an "Ahhh" moment. | |
| Streamer only Roon Nucleus for $750 on HIFI shark. | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? I use a ZeroSurge on my Pass XA60 mono blocks. ASR demonstrated that signal in was no different from signal out. I take this to mean no harm, just safe power. I like safe power. "As with all the other power tweaks, filters and cables, no fideli... | |
