| Vinyl Storage Options I have 2 of these, and another bookcase, that is becoming a record cabinet. https://scandinaviandesigns.com/products/hendrick-media-cabinet | |
| Sonic correlations with art in the listening space My listening room art work is almost all canvas that I packed the backs off with insulation to create cheap sound panels. It works for me, and still looks good. For my room, weirdly, adding a lot of plants helped the sound. I do have a couple bi... | |
| What is the norm? How many of you use the subsonic filter with your turntable? Both my pre-amp and power-amp have subsonic filters. Have played around with them. Both are turned off, and never really needed. I understand if you get rumble, the filters are necessary. Interesting about the sealed box theory. Both my speakers... | |
| Amp longevity, if well taken care of --the risks of purchasing used equip. My amp is from 1977, it has worked beautifully. I did do a full referb 2 years ago, it does sound much better after, but it has never let me down. If something is going to fail, it will fail, doesn't matter if it's a week old or several decades. | |
| Almost not bearable. Am about to pick up the new Foo's record today, has anyone given that a listen? Is the quality good? Tired of getting crap sounding records. FWIW, haven't listened to it yet on Tidal, usually try to go the record route first. | |
| Record Store Day 2026. This is the first year that nothing really spoke to me. The live albums were just ok, and a lot of 7in this year. This is the first year, where I purchased nothing, even my kid didn't want anything. Saw my local stores with lines going around an... | |
| Is Qubuz Direct really better This needs to be defined. Qobuz Connect has the stream running directly from the streamer, the phone is just a remote Just using Qobuz is running the stream from your phone to the streamer. Think most of us will agree that getting the phone o... | |
| Defunct brands- My whole stack is vintage Hitachi, hasn't been around for quite some time. Sans switches, face gear and knobs, it's all just parts that for the most part can be sourced. If it works and you like don't worry about it. Any and all components will fa... | |
| To all Klipsch Heritage fans have Forte speakers, with a 200wpc vintage amp, they will almost never be a boomy speaker. Sadly they do not have good punch/slam as they are short throw high SPL woofers, they produce tight accurate bass. That being said, they do like to be at le... | |
| An all vintage system My setup is mostly vintage, except the streamer, and turntable, well and subs. Would love to add a cool vintage TT, just hard to find in the right shape and price. For me, I can't afford new TOTL components, so went with vintage TOTL, then rebui... | |
| How do small woofers produce large bass? Single small woofers will have issues, but a few small woofers can be magical. Martin Logan made small sub arrays with 6in and 8in woofers. They hit hard, and deep! It's mostly about surface area. 3 8in woofers have more surface area then a 15in... | |
| Tekton Double Impact SE vs Kef R7 Meta Listened to a few sets of KEF's and Tekton. For me the KEF's sound great top to bottom. They have a good balance. Tekton can sound hollow, lifeless, not like a full range speaker. For me they are just missing something. Like there is a big hole in... | |
| SQ Comparison of 3 streamers What I don't understand that only one of the 3 has an internal DAC, then rest are just streamers without a DAC. What external DAC did you use? That would change the sound more over the streamer, did the Eversolo use it's own DAC? I'm currently lo... | |
| Rel Subwoofer phase question I have got brand new speakers that were wired backwards. Yes, it's possible. Don't worry about what things are set at, worry about how they sound. If they sound better out of phase, then run them that way. House wiring can be out of phase, the p... | |
| It's hard to let things go; it's good to let things go Feel you, just sold my 2 old Martin Logan subs. I know they went to a good home, and they were just sitting in my garage. My bank account likes it, will also offset buying 2 new subs. |
