| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers I feel pretty lucky in having a wife who loves music as much as I do. My life wouldn't be nearly as full without music OR her in it. | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions I've used Kallax storage for my 2000+ records for the last ten years, no complaints here. I have them installed against the wall, so no need for any backing board, and I've never felt like they were the least bit flimsy. | |
| Thinking about going electrostatic Another longtime ML stat user here. I have the Impressions (11a) and I listen to them for literally hours on end, no fatigue or anything like that. I'm driving them with a Classe amplifier which has served me well. Having said that, you should d... | |

| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS @elliottbnewcombjr I have had a chance to plug this in and it is indeed a very cool piece of equipment - low level listening (from streaming) sounds really, really great. Most of my streaming listening is done at lower volume, I just don't use it ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The queen is listening to Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat as I write this. From a Node - she knows how to use the turntable but doesn't share my love of the ritual. Sounds pretty dang good. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @tomic601 +1 One of the most genuinely kind, decent people I've ever met, in or out of the audio community. | |
| Replace tubes yearly? I have an ARC LS7 that I have left on for about 30 years, I mute it when I'm not listening. Never had a problem in all that time. (knock glass) | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS elliottbnewcombjr That's excellent, that balance control sounds pretty sweet - so many recordings seem slightly "right speaker biased" but I figured that due to the room limitations it was just something I'd have to live with. I'm just hoping the... | |
| Audioquest vs. Blue Circle Power Conditioner Quality I also use a Niagara 1200 with a Blizzard power cable and it has performed well in my system. | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS @elliottbnewcombjr thank you again! I offered a price and it is now being shipped to me. I am really looking forward to being able to control the volume while playing vinyl, which is pretty much 100% of the time when I'm "actively listening". I h... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I also use ML 11As and I find them engaging and enjoyable at the level you prefer, but I understand that everyone's ears and experiences are different. I have also experienced better results after installing a line conditioner, and it's pretty aff... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? Vinyl isn't the money pit that many would have you believe, depending on your wants/needs. For many people, myself included, the fact that a rock being dragged through a piece of plastic can sound so amazing is kind of magical. There is a ritual ... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! +1 @normb Well written and accurate. | |
| What are you using to clean LP album covers? I use a magic eraser on anything glossy and just a slightly damp microfiber for matte finish. I only do it on thrift store finds for the most part, while in many cases the vinyl appears/sounds unplayed, the records have obviously been stored in l... |
