| What do you care about in this hobby? Sound quality is far and away the most important and fun aspect to listening to music. I can listen to any genre ( well almost) so long as the sound quality, clarity and soundstage is there. Sound quality is my personal perception not something t... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? This has been my experience. If pursuing a tube preamp you can significantly change its sonic characteristics by using NOS tubes. This has allowed me to spend thousands less on the preamp itself and spend $500 on the primary preamp tubes. These... | |
| Replace Rogue Cronus 3 with Rogue Pharoah 2 or HiFi Rose rs520 or suggestions I have no experience with the Cronus and Maggies. But the Cronus responds dramatically to changing the preamp tubes to mid priced NOS tubes. Much more tube like, bigger soundstage and separation. Will never replicate the sound of 300B amp | |
| CD's or Vinyl? There’s room for all. Do what you like. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I don’t know what media conveys the music better. There are good and bad recordings of the same album delivered on streaming, cds, or vinyl. One thing I have noticed for me. Listening to digital music and /or solid state amplification I tir... | |
| I changed a Tube and… NOS ( new old stock vintage tubes) are expensive relative to new production but in my experience the sound quality is far superior. Brent happens to be the most reasonable priced NOS tubes. He has a vast knowledge of what tubes work best in spec... | |

| Validation I don’t need validation from anyone else. Did I put together the system for them or me. I try to keep my ego in check. It’s always cost me money when it shows up | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? The Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix 1968 in St. Louis | |
| Has anyone had problems getting their money refunded by The Music Room? Never had a problem. If they are backed up in the returns/trade in areas it can take a week to get processed. | |
| What do you do when you get a bad vinyl record pressing? If I run into a bad vinyl I always ultrasonically clean it twice then retry it. Sometimes it has revived the record, if not I trash it. | |
| How competitive are you with your system? I don’t care what others think of mine. There’s likes are no business of mine. | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! In my experience don’t overlook the Nola Boxer 3. Big speaker sound in a bookshelf size, but they perform best on stands. | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. Does anything here really matter. Your ears, your money, your choice. | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile When I first heard Balanced Audio Technology equipment in a listening room at Glenn Poor’s Audio in Champaign Il. Next was when I bought Nola speakers. I was hooked. |
