| Citibank Observing More Fraud Ring Doorbell may capture the thief, but the police won't. They don't work that hard on porch their cases. Much bigger fish to fry if you live an a decent sized city. | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Katie Melua +++1 for Eva Cassidy | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One I will second Rush (Eric Clapton) Another, which was panned by critics, but I love Angel Heart Trevor Jones & Courtney Pine, along with Bessie Smith, Brownie McGhee Awesome...... | |
| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? Keep them upright to prevent warping. Angled storage will eventually lead to warping as will laying flat due to the weight of other albums on top. Safe to lay flat, I suppose, if you only had 2-3 in each stack, but you would either need a very la... | |
| Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio A question I would ask is what amp are you using? Difference between a 8 watt tube and a 500 watt ss can determine if you want to go with 14g My advice is 12/2 (likely will not hurt your hands) and will cover all amps RFI is everywhere (if you ... | |
| Best DAC / Budget A little above your budget ($3500 with PSU) but I feel a VERY analog soundExogal Comet. I searched for a DAC with more analog sound and found this very satisfying. Well built.My two cents | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” I own a pair of Rethm Saadhana. Have a Supratek pre and First Watt SIT3 amp.Wonderful sound that is easily listened to all day with no fatigue.

| Preamp choices:Short list SUPRATEK has balanced in their preamps. Beautiful sound | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Probably obvious, but I live in the Midwest and have always found Gestalt HiFi in Santa Fe more than helpful. I have even purchased a few items from them. Great customer service and knowledgable. And in your state at least | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC May I suggest the ExoGal Comet? I think very vinyl sounding | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Mine took weeks. Make sure you track online. When gets to US and is in customs clearance stage, call DHL and ensure they have all the info they need. They didn't have my social security number (No idea why they needed it) and my Supratek got sh... | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla Check out the Rethm line.www.rethm.comI own the Saadhanas, and owned the Maarga in the past (they have recently been redesigned). IMO, best speakers I have heard for the price (and even some higher priced) | |
