| The Best Tweak? I'm not sure where and why all the other responses came from, but yes cannabis does make the music more "pratty". | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable @jasonbourne71 Why are you even here? You do nothing but deride everything and anybody you disagree with and contribute absolutely nothing of value. Your profile picture is very appropriate. | |

| Opening Acts For the Rolling Stones Back in June of 1972 in Vancouver, Canada I saw the Rolling Stones with Stevie Wonder as their opening act. The Stones were great, but Stevie Wonder really made it special. It was just after the release of his Music of My Mind album and put on a ... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @pennfootball71 "OK I don’t want to insult you, but you really did listen to a lot of cheaper mdf partial board or wooden speakers. These sound like boxes. B&W is kind of bottom or the Barrel with Dynaudio and KEF and all that stuff and is ... | |
| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet Any time you buy something in a private sale between individuals, there is an amount of risk inherent in the process. I have purchased most of my equipment used. Mostly on Canuck Audio Mart. No significant issues whatsoever. That being said, ma... | |
| Can an audio rack be that important? I’d say, like most things we buy, there is a minimum quality standard that should be adhered to. That being said, there are both acoustic and aesthetic advantages to be had if it’s in your budget. I built my own by repurposing some walnut furnitu... | |
| It’s it just me or there are others. @skchun Contrary to what others are saying, I think there is something to what you're saying, but I don't think it is something specific to female singers. Many artists have their greatest creative periods earlier, rather than later in their ca... | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand If you do use the cinder blocks, my suggestion would be to sandwich a layer of a thin (1/4"- 1/2"), rubbery material between the layers. This should eliminate any transfer of vibration between blocks. That being said, unless you live alone, a sta... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? @carlsbad2 From my experience, blanket statements should be avoided at all costs. The fact that "your speakers" and "your amplifier" worked in "your listening space" with "your music", doesn't mean much when you change all the parameters and cer... | |
| Garbage In Garbage out @perkadin "Being successful in this industry takes great marketing." Very true. Think about a company like McIntosh. Do you for one second think they would still be relevant in the marketplace if they decided to ditch the glossy black faceplat... | |

| Can/Is AI Used To Post Threads on Audigon? I am not usually a "chicken little", but AI, in my opinion, poses the largest threat to our safety we have ever seen. Unless stringent safeguards are built into programs from the outset, we will not be able to control a technology that has no rea... | |
| Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers? @hilde45 I agree 101%. The point isn't so much to lower the frequency response.
