| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation I've been told, here at Audiogon, that vinyl is THE superior format as long as you're willing to go down that long expensive rabbit hole required to play it properly. I have no reason to doubt that but at the same time I have no intention of going... | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? Right now,what I’m currently listening to: the whole Morning Phase album by Beck.In My Time of Dying - ZepBig Log- Robert Plant. Lots of memories attached to that one.Brahms’ 4th - SzellAgree with Mahler’s 5thBeethoven’s 9th - also SzellAstral Wee... | |
| Unusual, but great audio/stereo furniture (and built-ins)? Here is my modest 'built-in' cabinet and book shelves. It is in a casual "sun room" on one end of my house which is 90 years old. I built the shelves and cabinet myself. It is fairly simple and I am no cabinet maker.The color was not my choice but... | |
| Help with Audience "The ONE" I'll share what will likely be an unpopular recommendation but have you considered the new Sonos Amp? Class D. 125w. $650.I have one driving a pair of Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. I assumed it would not be enough amp to drive them adequately but I have b... | |
| New speakers. New room. @mijostyn. You might be surprised.I had that same concern. It was unfounded. I have listened to these speakers with three different amps including a nice Bryston (with Shinyata power cable and power conditioner). I would certainly give the edge to... | |
| New speakers. New room. glupson, the amp is a Sonos Amp and is about 8x8x4 inches. It is on a small table at the far end of the couch. I’m going to make a small stand for it and put it under the table so it will be virtually invisible from a decor standpoint.havoc, as th... | |
| New speakers. New room. Thank you. It is not a large or particularly fancy house but my grandparents built it in 1929 and I've been in it for about 10 years. | |
| New speakers. New room. Try this link and see if it works for a picture of the room. Its a wide angle view but you can see the speakers at the back of the room. They would probably looked better if they had been in rosewood rather than piano black but I’m not looking a g... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. @northman - quite right.Now for the soap opera. The estate was from my wife's cousin who died and left his belongings to his widowed mother (his money went somewhere else). That's who I was doing this for. During this interval she passed away and ... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Got the check today. Full amount. Over 2 1/2 months from the time of the claim. | |
| Amplifier warm up Cold vs hot makes no difference to my ears. But that's just my ears. They're not the finely tuned instruments possessed by true audiophiles. My SS amp manual (Madrigal Proceed HPA 2) says to leave it on. I can't bring myself to do it. I'm hardly w... | |
| Dahlquist speaker models, question/experience and today I'm not sure if he is still an audiophile or not. I don't see him much and life had been hard on him and I did not ask last time we met.I'm assuming Dahlquist is not longer in business? | |
| Dahlquist speaker models, question/experience and today I cannot help you with any comparison but your mention of Dahlquist speakers brings back memories. In college, a small military school, my roommate had a pair Dahlquist DQ-9s with an NAD amp, Nakamichi tape deck and Bang and Olufson turntable. Thi... | |
| Amplifier warm up In my case it would be easier to explain that my ears or my mood had warmed up. | |
| What to do with a center speaker? I have put it on eBay and Craig's list. No joy. I think in terms of eBay not many folks want to spend over $150 on shipping for an item worth $300. |
