| Audio snobbery Disposable income of any amount does not guarantee a positive outcome when building a stereo system. When your money is not disposable you work harder to get a result that satisfies. Taking years to build something that is by all accounts beyond y... | |
| Are you having problems with Upscale Audio? I have no experiences to add here but I admire Mr. Deal making his case in real time. Seems to me that someone who doesn't give a sh!t wouldn't waste his time. | |
| Found a great duster on Amazon! Did the claim to have a sharp stainless-steel knife throw anybody but me off? I am 3 bourbons into the evening. | |
| McIntosh Double Box? I have bought and sold a lot of McIntosh equipment. Have never bought anything without the original packaging nor sold without it. Do whatever it takes but keep that packaging. I live in a town in S.W. Oregon with a population of 600 and keep ever... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! SVS sells isolation feet that bolt right on to their subs, I have them on all my SVS subs and on a pair of Klipsch LaScala speakers. Well worth the money in my view. As others have pointed out... if one sub suits your fancy try two. When I added s... | |
| Changing audio beliefs @buellrider97 Thank you for the kind words on my system. All my Klipsch speakers have Crites or Volti crossovers and tweeter upgrades in them and the La Scala's have Electro Voice woofers. The stories of your musical escapades left me jealous but ... | |
| Changing audio beliefs Subwoofer not needed with my Klipsch Heritage speakers. I could not have been more wrong if it had been my goal. Now I have 3 subs and would never go back. | |
| “Civilian” reaction to your gear? No one comes in my house that wouldn't appreciate my life's most prolonged relationship. I am mostly a hermit. | |
| Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups I am poor (relatively). Everything is overpriced, so I make choices and live with them. Then enjoy the outcomes, whatever they be. | |
| Sent a link to my system to ChatGPT... Too old and stubborn to jump on the AI bandwagon but however you got to the system and room that you have should be studied and shared. Not only does it appear to be acoustically set up, the room is also very inviting. Looks like a comfortable pla... | |
| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? The answer to the original query is yes. | |
| Getting better audio answers from AI Assuming that the average age of a respondents on this site are in their mid-hundreds, I find it strange that any of us would need a superior intellect to help us enjoy our music more. And is that not the ultimate goal? As it is, I use computing p... | |
| Seeking advice about vinyl vs CD. Easy choice for me. CD all the way. I use streaming most of the time as the choices are endless, but when I hear something that strikes my fancy I get it on CD. As stated previously we can't make the determination for you, but it sounds like you m... | |
| Am I done yet? LOL Happy wife happy life. Maybe just enjoy the fruits of your labor for now and put your energies into finding new music. | |
| Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house? I built it. I listen to it. I like it. I share it. But only for the love of the music. Never for validation. That is enough for this simple man. |
