How do you pack a high end CD Player for shipping?
A few months ago, I spoke with Warren Gregoire who did my mods on my SCD-1 15 years ago. I was thinking of sending the SCD-1, with the original packaging, back to him for a look over since I had the unit in storage for close to 10 years. I told hi... 
Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1
Congrats, how are the KEF Reference 1 in your space (specifically the bass). Is the room acoustically treated?Did you demo the Hegel or buy without a dem? It is hard to find it to demo in my area. 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
I have not done my DSP shootout yet due to funds taking longer to magically appear. However, during this time I have been conversing with some folks who have owned the Lyngdorf and the Anthem. My conversation with the dealer on the Linn Selekt had... 
Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2
My current Audience Ohno III speaker cabling is good enough for my modest system. Certainly not a weak link. No new cables until I buy my replacement office system. The waiting seems to be taking a long time.  
Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2
@clarinetmonster2 I don't love the Nova 150 but I like it a lot for what it does and the price I paid. I even use this with an iPhone input so you can see I am not looking for the last word in audio quality. Saying all of that it is better than av... 
A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content)
@mtdining You must be right and KEF, Thiel, Tannoy, Vienna Acoustics, TAD, and likely others I have not heard of are ALL wrong in their speaker design.@singhania59I use the Audience Ohno III with the LS50's. Not too expensive.https://www.dagogo.co... 
Recommendation on power amp
@transnova  I have heard rumors that the Blades 2 can fit in small rooms, sort of an audio urban legend. Would you mind taking a look at my virtual system and tell me if I would be crazy to out the Blade 2 into this room (for only a few years). Cu...

@noble100 I am looking to get floor standers because I think I can make it work with a DSP capable preamp. I have had monitors for the last 10 years and never had the space for floor standers. I now have a room where a small floor stander like the...

I needed some acoustic treatments to make my LS50 sing. The speakers are sounding great now in my small office. I have some pictures in the virtual systems section with the treatments.I think I have the ideal sized room for the LS50. Even with thi... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

@ron1264 I sent you a message. I don't want to divert this thread with my own questions about the STR.

@ron1264 What preamp are you considering for the Coda or Anthem STR? I am also considering both of those amps if I buy the Paradigm Persona 3F speaker.  
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
I hate it when certain experts show up to these threads and pollute it with their expertise. Don't read the __ thread if it offends you. 
Audiogon IGNORE Feature
@mental You got the definition of IGNORE that I referenced correct. I do not want to see tons of post, especially arguments on threads. I would rather skip them or have them compressed. I could not care less if these same IGNORED people  see my po...
