| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! These +/- posts remind me of pretty much everything else made by human hands. Inconsistencies. Among other marques, I've owned a dozen or so BMWs. Gas and Diesel. Sedan/coupe/x-over. Base 3-series to 5-series to a couple of M3s. Low miles to high ... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Like others have said, get your setup dialed-in to play the room best, then do room treatment on all first reflection points, then bass traps in the corners if needed. Spend your money where it gives the most benefit. | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? I had similar experiences regarding perceived SQ at different listening times...until I got serious about the setup and room treatment in my dedicated listening room. Made all the difference in the world.The room will dictate half of what you hear. | |

| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? Agree 100% with @barrysandy about the book. I can't speak about Jim Smith himself, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out he is a great guy. | |
| 3 head cassette decks Had a Nak back in the 80s. With metal tape, peaks set for +7 dB (if I'm remembering correctly) it made fabulous sounding tapes. And the feel of all the controls was fabulous too. |
