| Why is selling used stereo equipment involve people from the sales platform? I wish it were that simple, The seller is not given the option of igniting the guidance and still posting. That’s not a recommendation. It’s a mandate. | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? I’ve high end 2 channel analog gear that includes a refurbished pro Studer. RTR is expensive, laborious, and of limited selection. But the SQ is so good that I’d do it again. The best dynamic range and detail that I’ve heard is RTR. My analogy is ... | |

My aim was to increase’s the sound pressure level across the room without boominess and retain LF detail. I now h... | |
