| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Dyna 70 - $150 A pair of Dyna MK IIIs - $200 Altec Lansing 604Cs - $1500 pair I still use the Altecs, 43 years. The Dynas are back up for my Futtermans. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? 1 - compatibility 2 - how it sounds, to my ears. | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? I acquired most of my equipment second hand. I never gave thought to whether or not it came in it’s original box. Most of the time, it did not. | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2 I took another look. I do believe that I read it as written. | |
| Modifying Crossovers I have a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs. Their stock crossovers are bright, cheaply made and have always been regarded as an afterthought. I replaced them with a pair of Doug Sax’s Mastering Lab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7mW8BF-Bvw and https:... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2 Wow! $100,000 on .... drum roll please ... crossovers! And I thought cable interconnect folks were obsessed. | |
| Admitting my error… @grislybutter u r welcome | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. @jackhifiguy pretty much calls everyone here stupid and then asks for feedback from the very same. I guess I must be stupid because I’m struggling to figure out how that works. As for the link to the DAC: A) I don’t use them and B) its just a bun... | |

| Admitting my error… Buy a collection just so you can have a collection? I am sorry, but this sounds like a rich man's problem. Given the what strikes me as the extravagant amount that you are spending on your gear, I’m guessing I’m not far off. theaudioatticv... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? Donate to a library or to Vietnam Veterans | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? The cost/value curve starts turning sharply upward at a point slightly greater than the amount that I’ve spent on my own audio system. 😏😆 theaudioatticvinylsundays.com | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? @ross6860 Like thecarpathian, I’m also a bit skeptical of your exercise regimen: I’m thrilled that I keep up with 50 miles of bike riding per week, or 2,500 per year. That said, I also don’t eat junk, I have a glass of red wine a day. Ne... | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? My system has been more or less stable with these components for 25+ years, with the approach to configuration for 45+ years. https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/about | |
| Anything more resolving than 65 year-old speakers? I have a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs. The serial number dates them at 1956, two years younger than me. To paraphrase a famous Beatles song: 604Cs are good to me, you know They make me happy as can be, you know I say so I'm in love with them an... |
