| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Has anyone suggested Soundsmith? He doesn’t just build and repair cartridges. He does all sorts of gear as well. Caveat: He can be a little prickly, and he’s not cheap. | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere There was a seller in an audio forum that had a product that I was very very very much interested in. He had good feedback from forum members, no negatives. He would accept only payment by wire transfer…to Turkey,…and he was in the Netherlands. Al... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? I used to send my Koetsu cartridges to Van den Hul for retipping. We declared the value of the retipping work, not of the cartridge itself, and kept my fingers crossed that nothing would happen. I’d ship in a box that was 12 x 14 x 4, with lots of... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. As others have noted, every experience is different. Here is mine for what it is worth: - room is semi anechoic: rock wool covers the walls (6”) and ceiling (14”), with fire resistant burlap covering that - rugs cover most of the floor - room h... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I believe that i previously said that I used to use a top of the line DBX equalizer. I no longer need it since my room is completely treated and is semi-anechoic. I will be putting it on eBay soon, or if you are interested, you can reach out t... | |

| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? I’ve gone to a few. The experiences vary. some are really focused on the listening. Others on the vibe and the social experience. My own room compares favorably, with a fraction of the hardware expenditure. i lived in nyc for 45 years I move ... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? I heard a couple at Sound by Singer. I didn’t bother to ask about the prices but I guess easily over $500,000 each. They were in treated auditioning rooms contrary to the previous commenter, I do believe in the law of diminishing returns and my... | |

| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps The Dynaco Stereo 70. I built one from a kit when I was 14 years old. I used it for 12 years before switching to a pair of Dyna MK IIIs, then a larger Hafler. I cannot say the latter two were improvements. I now use a pair of NYAL Futtermans OTL3... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? .01%. That’s not a typo. | |
| New York City Audio/Hifi Bars and Cafes Please. a listening bar is not an audio showroom such as Wasserman’s Stereo Exchange (Sound by Singer is closed, guys, the dude died years ago), nor a jazz club such as the Blue Note, nor a record store. it is a place where a high end audio syst... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I never offer an opinion unless asked. If asked, and I find whatever it is that they are asking about to be wanting, I start a conversation by asking them about how they went about their choices and decision making. That leads into “what about... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @mihorn That link to two speakers placed …. In a parking lot? You are kidding me, right? |
