| Disappointments The reality for me is I’ve never had a dealer that was close to offer me the opportunity. So I will claim some ignorance here….and the more I think, I do see how you could get the overall sound signature of a piece of gear at the dealer, knowing i... | |
| Disappointments @zavato I have only auditioned speakers and yes for 3 Wilson Audio models. I have never understood how people place so much value on the audition at a dealer when we all know it all comes down to our system and room. On the flip side, I wonder... | |
| Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly @slaw Glad audphile1 was able to offer his thoughts...hope that helped resolve the issue. I haven't ever experienced hum from one channel. All I would know to do is check all connections and replace cables where possible. | |
| Electric Recording Company @johnto Fun House sounded great but I also had no other pressing to compare it to. Streaming it on Qobuz also sounds great. I ended up selling mine for a minimal loss of about $50 and was fine with that for the experience to try an ERC record.... | |

| Loading speaker stands with? @cooperdude6 I recently got some skylan stands for harbeth. The owner said metal shot and sand were too heavy and would effect the sound. Sand seems like a mess waiting to happen also. He suggested wood pellets used for smokers. I already ha... | |
| In search of low powered tube amp that isn’t overly hot @mcanaday dynaco by will Vincent he is in idaho and sells on usam brands himself as laboratory west very solidly built amps and lots of happy people with them | |
| Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly @dman777 It is super freaky, right?!?! I recently got some new speakers that I leave the grills off. I mostly stream and when I played some records a couple weeks ago I jumped up and raised the tonearm. My old speakers have the grills on and ... | |
| Preamp advice @kunalraiker I don't have a blue book subscription but simply going off the ads showing recently sold on hifishark in the US and from what I have seen them listed for.....I would say that is a very good deal and fair price. This is quite likely... | |
| Preamp advice @kunalraiker Ah, bummer.....I wasn't sure of the dynamics of purchasing from a US seller. In the US, a REF 6 is usually between the LS 28 and LS 28SE in price. I haven't heard the LS 28/28SE but if you were going to stretch all the way to appr... | |
| Preamp advice @kunalraiker The LS27 would be a fantastic ARC option. I had one for a while and moved to the REF 3 and it was not a huge leap. The 27 is a great value and easy to maintain with fewer tubes. I didn't have one, but a 17SE may be another option... | |
| Queston On Burning In A New Preamp @faustuss Thank you so much! You have such an extensive collection of great components. I can't tell if you are a dealer or just another crazy audiophile : ) I haven't ever had a 2nd system or any extra components other than my inexpensive b... | |
| Queston On Burning In A New Preamp @stevehardy1 +1 @faustuss I cannot imagine having a new component and missing out on whatever transformation it could make over time. That is your new preamp in your system in your room playing for your ears. Who cares what everyone else say... | |
| Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ? @ghdprentice We have talked enough offline that you are most definitely not lazy! It's hard to let go of something that has been such a part of our life for so long. There is satisfaction in simply admiring/viewing the collection you have buil... | |
| Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative? @cheeg why not just get another node with an external power supply, it made a difference for mine. You’re already familiar with the app and it worked for you for several years |
