Do you trust your system?
I have two systems. The first one I trust with my life. The second one I’m not so sure yet. The room is so different and I haven’t been able to dial it in yet. But either way, I’m done for a while buying amps and speakers. All the best. JD

Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
About thirty years ago I bought some stranded, silver coated, 12 gauge wire. I still have two, ten foot lengths with the ends tinned with silver solder. While they aren’t on my main system, they were until I bought a pair of AQ Rocket 88’s. All t...

Your method for discovering great music.

Your method for discovering great music.
In addition to trying what others have suggested and what the reviewers mention,  a few years ago I stopped at a garage sale. Ended up buying about 1100 CD’s for $100. They kept me busy for months!  I actually kept about 350 disks and gave the res...

GO CHIEFS !!
Lol, When the Rams came to Saint Louis, you couldn’t hear yourself think for most of the game.  By the third year, you could. And by the fifth year, you could hear a pin drop because there was little to cheer for. So now the Rams have rebuilt ag... 
GIK Vicoustic and others
I’d insulate because it’s the basement, but no need for double drywall. Another place to put insulation is in the ceiling, it will definitely cut down on the noise complainants from upstairs 😁 All the best. JD
