| Where were you when you first heard ""Born To Run"? Summer of 75. WMMS FM Cleveland broadcast it and I was riding in my friends ‘68 Super Bee. They went on to play it every Friday evening at 5pm to start the weekend for quite a while… | |
| Morrison speaker question The fifth is most likely a ground option similar to what Tannoy does on their wiring options. | |
| Do I need a MC cartridge now? Or an attenuator? The L-Ext is a Moving Coil phono preamp with 70db of amplification according to the Laiv site. You need to change either the phono preamp to MM with approximately 40db amplification for your 3.5mV cartridge (not using the L-Ext at all) or acquire... | |

| Speaker choice I will agree with @chayro @yogiboy that the Harbeth HL5 would work well in your room. A friend has the P3 and HL5 and we have used both of them in his 10’ x 14’ room. The P3 have nice tone and presence, but the HL5 pressurize the room much b... | |

| Need Ideas on speaker cables Many choices... The fact that you have monoblocks also opens a slightly different discussion. Your amps could be individually located close to your speakers if you have interconnects long enough to accommodate that placement. This could open up... | |
| Yes, I ordered a pair..... @mrdecibel Thank you for clarifying the timeline. I agree about a week or so (approx 150 hours) for my amps to settle in but I find it fascinating that we could be looking at 750 hours for the R9. Excellent insight for those of us considering ac... | |
| Yes, I ordered a pair..... @mrdecibel Thank you for the well presented review. Just for break in time clarity if I read correctly you indicate 24 hours a day for a month is what you allowed for the R9? I have a friend with the R9s and I did enjoy listening to his setup, ... | |
| Network Acoustics ENO filter I have had the “ENO1 system” (filter and ethernet cable) for a few years between my audio room’s switch and a Wolf Audio Alpha3SX server on a managed network. It is limited to 100 Mbps according to the network management software interface but th... | |
| Anyone compare Ayre Codex to QB-9 Twenty? I loved what my Codex could do especially in its price range. I did have a friend with the QB-9 DSD and it was a slightly better DAC when we substituted it into my system. Smoother in presentation with a slightly more defined separation of instr... | |
