| True or False? @ mijostyn Tweaks are for idol worshipers.Yep. Tell that to the race car drivers who modify a sports car with a catch can, Cold air intake, or shocks and suspension or Tires. And I haven't even mentioned supercharger, or Turbo or smaller pully... | |
| True or False? @mapman The better they are the less tweaks needed to make them sound good. See how that works? There is a certain amount of truth there. Yes, the better equipment does sound better. That's why we use the word "better" to describe them. But the q... | |
| True or False? is it true or not true in (your experiences) that the better your audio components are, the less they respond to various tweaks? Not true. Just as a race car responds more to tweaks, so does a high resolving system. Part of the problem in tweakin... | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? +1 @johnto You generally have to set 45 with a different line of dots on the platter than you do with 33. At least on the older ones I had. That may be the problem you are having if you are trying to get the 33 line on platter to stabilize at 45rpm | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery @hilde45I agree with your point about cherry picking. I try not to do it but know of my humanity as well. And then there is the perception of the reader. I'm not PC enough for the modern world. I'm old and my stepfather would be would be 133 yrs o... | |

| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery As one who has recently posted a "controversial" thread I have lurked with this discussion since, for me, is kinda like saying water is wet. Everyone says they want civility when in deed, they want total agreement with their opinion. IMO, This is ... | |
| A CHEAP AND VERY EFFECTIVE RECORD CLEANING SOLUTION. How is Basic H different than something like Simple Green? I'm all in favor of saving $$$ but curious about this | |
| Soundstage Did you have these in a different room where you experienced a larger soundstage with them out further? Do you know that they are capable of larger sound? I don't know much about the speakers but I know that all of them have different points wher... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @rlb61 Measurements often can be irrelevant because a component or cable that measures great can sound awful, whereas distortion may sound quite pleasing. In the final analysis, all that matters is what you hear and enjoy. One of my worst purch... | |

| Pure analog system with high power I tend to agree with MC about more efficient speakers. However IF you have heard the Maggies and like them, then so be it. Lots of people do. That's why I auditioned them. They sounded great...as long as you stay in the sweet spot. Salesman said t... |
