| Forced to DIY @erik_squires In the past, we have gutted and renovated houses three times and you just learn how to do things. That being said, I always shied away from plumbing. There was always just to much to lose if I screwed up somehow. Recently I have... | |
| Is It Common For Questions About Gear For Sale To Go Unanswered? From the VPI site. "These discounted "B Stock" tables may have minor scratches and blemishes, however their functionality remain at peak performance." I find it strange that someone would list the turntable as B stock, but then refuse to acknowl... | |

| Von Schweikert @usnavy8452 I don't know why you don't have the spikes, but I would contact Von Schweikert. As to the "3 positive and 3 negative connectors". These speakers have the option for tri-amplification (a separate amplifier for high frequency, mid fre... | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? @endymion_joshi-godrez I might suggest you look into the ATC C1 sub. | |
| Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room @cainullah Been there before and the best solution is to keep HT and two channel completely separated, except for one interconnect between the L/R pre outs of the Denon and the HT bypass inputs of whatever integrated you buy. This assumes that t... | |
| Good DAC for Home Studio @pacificm With a $1,000 budget I would suggest looking at the Denafrips Ares II. Lots of great reviews available everywhere. | |
| Good DAC for Home Studio So the Schiit Yggdrasil at $2,299.00 is a budget DAC, even though the OP selected the Modi 3 at $129.00 as his first option? As Marie Antoinette said. "Let them eat cake." | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @johnk Don't you have enough conspiracy theories in your life, that you need to invent more. What kind of business plan includes building a product that the customer will learn to hate? | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ @dman1974 "Maybe if you don’t have anything to add to this maybe go find another chat where you can insult people and exercise your audiophile superiority on someone else. " I don't understand how you interpreted such a seemingly good-hearted j... | |
| Warm, Lush Laid-Back Smaller Floor Standers? @bluethinker66 Regarding subwoofers. I solved my low frequency issues by adding a "distributed bass array" (Swarm) to my bookshelfs (ATC SCM19). Basically you are adding 4 subs to flood the listening space. It would be worth your time to do a s... | |
| Subwoofer Choice @bound4h My suggestion would be to go with four Rel T7x's positioned as a distributed bass array. Do some research on bass arrays. Best bass I have ever had. | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... Never knew about his mother and his dying in prison. Jim's is a sad tale of the effects of mental illness, but in the years before he was a musical giant. RIP Jim. | |
| Help me to build my first stereo system @augjonas With your budget, why are you looking for a turntable? Vinyl is expensive to do well and it expensive to build a library of music. You have to search for and then buy everything you can listen to. Why not bypass vinyl and go directl... | |
| Streamers made in America? @oddiofyl "I think products made in China cut a lot of corners and don't offer the value that a well built US model does" Yet you had to come here to find an American option? I am old enough to remember when "Made in China" on a product meant ... |
