| Speaker cable arrows??? Oh my! This question really gave me a start . . directional speaker cables?! I didn’t check for arrows — did I do this WRONG! Odds are good . . . Yes! I messed up, again!Then I remembered that my cables are for bi-wiring and there is only on... | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age Its only been a few months for me since I started acquiring higher end equipment, but the only “what if?” feeling I have had was over the purchase of speakers. I didn’t know when I started that Martin Logan made their name with electrostatic spea... | |
| Interesting Fed Ex encounter... The equipment I have received from January to early March of this year — including two tower Loudspeakers, a Parasound pre-amp, two SVS subs and a Bluesound Vault 2i — none required my signature. They were just left in front of my door, except th... | |
| Most amusing album or song titles Hank Williams Jr:Some High Society lady asked me, “Is that your horse outside?”I said, “No Ma’am, mine’s between my legs, But you’re too fat to ride!”👍🏻👌🏻 | |
| Most amusing album or song titles “She Was a Red Hot Tomater from Decatur”Don’t recall the act, but they were from the hills of Appalachia. Sort of a poor man’s Flatt & Scruggs. 😁 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I started to play a record of Hawaiian music last night and noticed that the record was badly warped in one spot. It looked like it might have been left in sunlight years ago. I was thinking of trying heat to flatten the record — something like ... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? @eric_squires. 😂🤣 | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first Like sandthemall I didn’t listen to the amp, pre-amp, speakers or turntable before I bought them the past few months. I relied upon reviews and the comments of people that had purchased the items and heard them in their homes. When the reviews a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Beginning of the End, “Funky Nassau”I was at the local Walmart today and noticed that it caries certain record albums. The albums all claimed to have some enhanced features for improved sound. I suppose that most of the people purchasing rec... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? I tend to agree with several other respondents, especially regarding adding terminals to the speakers if they were manufactured with just one set — I don’t think I would bother. But the Martin Logan 60XT’s I bought allow bi-wiring/bi-amping. I h... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. @yogiboy, Thanks for recommendation and link for Grado cart. I just ordered one and headshell for it. Easy as pie! | |
| Lifespan of amps and preamps? @cruxarche, Kudos to you for acquiring a system like that at such a young age. Until recently, I was using a Sony AV receiver, Jensen speakers and a Pioneer CD changer, all 25-30+ years old. They still sounded pretty good to me, but at this ad... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? I might try this on my Parasound A21. Either top off or maybe a Plexiglass top instead. I must admit that part of the reason I bought it is that I thought the innards are beautiful — I figured something so beautiful must make beautiful sound. T... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Condolences on your and your wife's loss, tomic.Listened to that promotional album I had by Cheryl Dilcher. She would likely have had a better career playing more up-tempo music -- voice is OK but can't carry singing ballads. | |
