| Room acoustics Something reflective between speakers? Thats about as bad as a TV between the speakers. Most think that absorption or diffusion works best. | |
| Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup? I’d grab either the music hall mmf-5.3 or 7.3...they both can be had with a 2m Bronze already mounted. Then, take off the stylus from the black and put it on the Bronze, both cartridges are compatible. Then, put your 2m black in a drawer as an ext... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Luxman jacked up their prices on all their integrated amps by $1000 or more. The 550 class A model used to be 5500, now it’s 6500 according to music direct pricing, crazy. I would love one, as it has a true tape monitor and a loudness button. I se... | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? I have enough equipment to form 4 systems, but no where to put it lol... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? I never gave this much thought, intersting....I’m seemingly driving my Tannoy Eatons with 30 watts of Sugden class A, and I can’t get past 11 o’clock on most if not all material. Plenty loud for me and my room. | |
| local audiofile The topping BC3 is a great device, $69, and has aptx Bluetooth. Use it in conjunction with my musical fidelity v90 dac, sounds fantastic. | |
| Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra plus custom LPS+ linear power supply. No Screen = no go, don’t care how good it might be. It is absolutely ridiculous that there is no screen included in some of these current streaming devices. The screen and interface is half the fun. Some don’t even come with a remote....equally du... | |

| The price of used LP's. Still have my original collection I started when in high school, about 150 lp’s all in mint condition. They include Donald Fagen nightly, al dimeola a night in San Francisco, police ghost in the machine, etc etc all original copies as they were al... | |
| Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help Love my Grace digital link, $179, makes me smile... | |

| Power Cables and Wall Sockets Don’t have much to add to what has already been said, except adding a dedicated circuit (20A), a high quality receptacle, and a power cord can’t hurt. Also, a power conditioner is a good idea, even if just for surge protection, but I’ve found that... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... There are a lot of inexpensive (relatively) two ways that sound terrific...I'll keep my wharfie 225's for life, even though I run tannoys right now. | |
| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? What is wrong with the type 4? It should be better than either of those. I happily use type 4 running my tannoys in a bi wire run....sounds good to me. It's been in the Sterephile stable for years and years and is a recommended component. | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? The speakers and the Amp chosen to drive them is The most important. Then the quality of the source components. Some say source component is most important, however, if fed into a poorly chosen Amp driving a mismatched pair of speakers, nothing wi... |
