| Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help If they are not hifi nuts, they probably would like the sound of any decent speaker placed near a wall. It gives a bass-heavy jukebox sound that non-audiophiles find appealing. The Axiom speakers from Canada will be fine. I set some friends up wit... | |
| New Rega P10 setup An open box product should come with full dealer support and warranty, so I think you have no more chance of a damaged item then sealed. Maybe less if it’s been inspected. As to footfalls, I don’t think the rega will do much better than the Linn, ... | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded The soundtrack to “Inside Llewelyn Davis” is excellent. Great movie as well, IMO | |
| What speakers are you using with your BAT 75SE amp? The VR4 Jrs are very good speakers. I think they would be difficult to better at your price point, or even somewhat above. If you like female vocals, I would recommend the Harbeth SHL5, which is a large standmount, but I’m not really convinced abo... | |

| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? Your original post described the bass as on the lighter side and lacking in impact. You can call it anything you like, but it’s still comes down to bottom-end issues. The TZ is one model up from the KC. FYI, Steve Gutenberg reviewed the much more ... | |

| Avantegarde Duo repair. Isn’t Bob @ Rhapsody in NY a dealer? I know he was and should have some info even if he dropped the line. | |
| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! Maybe your previous stuff was rolled off and the Node is just showing you what is really there? But that’s academic. If you don’t like it, give it back. Simple. | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables Somehow, I don’t think top recording artists give 2 sh#%s what the cables are made of. Just FYI, some of the world’s most expensive cables use copper only. MIT, Transparent, Tara and Jorma come to mind. | |
| Desperately seeking some advice/tips for my S.M.S.L. SU-9 DAC If you bought new, your dealer will be more than happy to help you. Customer service is part of the dealer’s margin. If you bought direct, the company should have an in-house customer service rep. Good luck. | |
| Can anyone recommend someone who recap crossovers Let the factory do it if you want to keep the potential resale value. | |
| Kronos Sparta or TechDas Air Force III? I would buy the one I could listen to and examine before buying. | |
