| Whats on your turntable tonight? Recorded in 1973 and pressed by JVC Mastering Center. Bass and Cello have unbelievable inner detail. This two record set is well worth the outlay. Now, I need to find my copy of Midnight Sugar. I also have ripped the Blow Up CD ( purchased prio... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Are you con-fused? | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @jpan Beautiful system and room. Love the way you acoustically handled the large windows. | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint I’m not anti fireplace, just anti most $400k-900k homes build the fireplace right in the main entertainment spot of the house, right where my system should go I guess that we all differ in terms of “should”. I would never place my primary two c... | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint We contracted to build in North Texas and have the open design with 30’ plus ceilings and forget audio, or decent theater in such a room. The echo makes it challenging to understand simple conversation. Separate rooms are needed for audio and thea... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players As far as supporting artists, one can still stream and continue to buy physical media. If you are willing to sell a car, you can attend a concert. My kids like KPop and attend Korean pop concerts in Dallas. A good, but not great seat is $30... | |
| PS Audio "AirLens" streamer coming soon? @solarboy297 Two posts since 2014…wow Please make this three posts after you sort out the AirLens. | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack @muaythai Timber Nation is a great choice. You can view my rack on my virtual system. The rack addressed my issue with energy transferred to my turntable. They were good at communicating with me and delivered on time. | |

| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @puffbojie NAD C658 DAC Streamer is really a weak link but the DIRAC feature really helps with my room. I might have to get a stand-alone room correction device in order to update the streamer and Dac as the NAD does not allow you to disengage ... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? Only a waste if you don’t massively upgrade your streamer and DAC. | |
| Lyngdorf cd-2 vs. McIntosh mcd- 350 your thoughts @arya Do you want SACD? | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? It seems to me that your friend would be a more valuable friend if they would expose you to a system that is not harsh to their ears. That would at least give you some ability to relate to their comments, or not. I engage my preamp’s 10k equalize... | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... JB71 is absolutely correct, but that doesn’t mean that every cable sounds like the next. Sometimes, two things can be true at the same time. | |
| Thoughts on adding a McIntosh C12000 preamp to my AVM90 Home Theater Processor.... @whitesarhara This is a bit confusing. What component would you be using with the McIntosh? |
