| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I believe that i previously said that I used to use a top of the line DBX equalizer. I no longer need it since my room is completely treated and is semi-anechoic. I will be putting it on eBay soon, or if you are interested, you can reach out t... | |

| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? I’ve gone to a few. The experiences vary. some are really focused on the listening. Others on the vibe and the social experience. My own room compares favorably, with a fraction of the hardware expenditure. i lived in nyc for 45 years I move ... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? I heard a couple at Sound by Singer. I didn’t bother to ask about the prices but I guess easily over $500,000 each. They were in treated auditioning rooms contrary to the previous commenter, I do believe in the law of diminishing returns and my... | |

| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps The Dynaco Stereo 70. I built one from a kit when I was 14 years old. I used it for 12 years before switching to a pair of Dyna MK IIIs, then a larger Hafler. I cannot say the latter two were improvements. I now use a pair of NYAL Futtermans OTL3... | |

| New York City Audio/Hifi Bars and Cafes Please. a listening bar is not an audio showroom such as Wasserman’s Stereo Exchange (Sound by Singer is closed, guys, the dude died years ago), nor a jazz club such as the Blue Note, nor a record store. it is a place where a high end audio syst... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I never offer an opinion unless asked. If asked, and I find whatever it is that they are asking about to be wanting, I start a conversation by asking them about how they went about their choices and decision making. That leads into “what about... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @mihorn That link to two speakers placed …. In a parking lot? You are kidding me, right? | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @larryi Regarding the MoFi one step. I had been buying MoFi releases for a decade or so. I personally found that they were not always better than if you had a well cared for original pressing. At one point, I found that the sound quality had d... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @mihorn “Artists don’t know…” THAT is a remarkably arrogant statement. I have many friends who are professional performing and recording artists, incl my own daughter. I assure you they know what they are listening to. One is so tuned in to t... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? I was sorta gratified to once read in … the absolute sound or stereo review, I forget which ….. that the reviewer felt that the Futterman OTLs that I own are among the 5 best amps of all time. But really, I read reviews these days mostly for enter... | |
