| REL T5 vs REL T7 subwoofers Product review: REL T series subs - Richer Sounds Blog | Richer Sounds Blog Last of the non-‘I’ subs, the T7 is the biggest sub here, and also sees a number of changes over its smaller brothers. As the only front-firing design here, the T7 ha... | |

| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. @ clearthinker BINGO. Customer service is no longer available. Companies set up everything for their convenience (& profit). Customer is just a bank account to drain. This is our world today where the big corps have become mostly monopolies, I... | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback @chakster I believe @russ69 is talking about phase inversion. If done in even numbers it balances outIE Conrad Johnson preamps are phase inverted. To get back to phase, you invert the phase at the speakers, R to L & L to R. CJ covers it nicel... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk VS Blackhawk I'm not questioning your experience but I am surprised that one step up the Raven heirarchy gets such improvement. That said, I've not heard the Raven but I do like their philosophy and would like to hear the Blackhawk or Osprey. | |

| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I’ve had 2 dealings with Upscale. The first I called to enquire about a CJ ET3se preamp. I talked to Kevin who then educated me on the difference between PL preamp & the CJ. Though I understand his logic, I don’t necessarily use the weight &am... | |

| New turntable: please help with cartridge selection: Ortofon vs Lyra vs Charisma vs Hana I went from Benz Ebony L to the Zyx 4D. Fantastic move. The Benz was no slouch at all But the 4d is better. Mstp is $4.5k but you can get it cheaper. You will not find a Universe for under$5k unless used. Check Sorasound | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Well,@atmasphere, you have answered another question I had about whether loading is actually a band aid. Seems to be a natural progression. However I suppose it could also be an option for the customer who needs to tame their systems tendency towa... | |
| Interesting thought Too much background noise for audiophile type listening. No one wants to go to a bar / club and sit quietly. Live music is a better draw. Considering that most bands are running through the PA system now, the house could put together a very good s... | |
| Lack of Female Representation It used to be know that men and women are different. They have different interests, motivation and priorities. Somehow equality became corrupted by the idea of sameness. But We aren’t the same. I'm glad | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? @jetter In all my years here I don’t remember anyone else requesting that another member be "banned". I have called out at least one poster who called for Mc’s removal. And I have seen othersFwiw I don’t like anyone removed because of someone’s d... | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? To the original questionI do not see this as a hobby. for me it is a lifestyle. I have enjoyed music and bought my 1st record at about 8 yrs old. (62 yrs ago) I play music, (drums & vocals) as well and have since early teens. My musical system... |
