Right speakers for big room limited to small room placement options
To get a visual, the fireplace is in the center of the wall and the speakers flank the fireplace. So speakers will be approx 10 feet from side walls correct? Would a front ported speaker fire better bass and imaging with the lack of corner/side wa...

Can you create alerts for used gear you are interested in on Audiogon?
US Audiomart beats the pants off of Audiogon because it doesn’t bend the seller over with charges. I have a set of speakers listed on each. I’ve seen more activity through Audiomart.Check every 5 minutes.

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I do yoga in my room with the O/93's, and so I listen at all positions. I find them pretty engaging 3 feet into the room and 5-6 feet away.  This distance probably removes some of the room reflections from the equation.  They do like to be pulled ...

New silversmith fidelium cable
Ozzy how long did you keep them? I picked up a European class d amp with room correction a few years ago based on forum feedback. People were replacing tube systems, and it was all the rage. What a piece of junk. I kept it for 2 weeks and couldn't... 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
David, I took a closer look and found a great review and some positive threads on the Fidelium.  How long have you had these in your system?  Did you notice the soundstage layering to be better?  The Nordost were capable of great natural transient... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
Is everyone continuing to enjoy these cables?  I know that sometimes components that offer a new way of looking at things can sometimes run there course long term.  I read the Soundadvocate review and they seem intriguing. Thanks! 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
Ebm I tried Purist Aqueous cables many years ago and really liked them.  I'll have a look or listen, good thought.

1st Post Intro & Ramblings

$7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant?
“Nothing Else Matters”. Why does Qobuz have loads of  Metallica but Tidal has zero?  Sucks big time.
