| Cheapest but good cables…. Audio Envy. I've been using their ICs and just ordered the speaker cable. Tremendous, open sound and a screaming value with excellent quality of construction. | |
| Is there anything better than live recordings? S*x is better. | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. @richardmathes Oy! | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. @richardmathes Seriously? The least talented? I disagree completely. He and McGuinn and Stills were equals on most every level. Granted, McGuinn sang lead for The Byrds so he was out front, but really, Crosby was right there with him on a talent l... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. If you can find a copy of "Another Stoney Evening," an acoustic concert by Crosby & Nash circa 1971, then you will hear a very intimate performance that shows you just how great Crosby is/was. | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. I am very sad, indeed. ’Croz had one of the great voices and was a tremendous songwriter. Listening now to the MoFi SACD of "If I Could Only Remember My Name" in memoriam. RIP, ’Croz, and thanks for a great ride as part of my life’s soundtrack. | |

| Which Line Level, Balanced Preamplifier? BAT VK-33 (non-SE), allows tube rolling and sounds terrific. | |
| RIP Jeff Beck Absolutely awful news. Was just listening to "Beck, Bogert, & Appice" today before hearing about it. R.I.P., Jeff, and thanks for the music. | |
| Did you ever buy too much bass? I have a JL Audio e110 that I’ve been unable to dial in properly in my small, treated room. No matter what I’ve done based on advice on A’Gon and from audio professionals, the sound has not been satisfying. I’ve taken it out of my system, and am h... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers To me, they look like they're upside down. | |
| room size question. @thyname When I got advice from GIK regarding my room, I was told that an absorption panel in a small room is preferable to a diffuser ... in a small room, a diffuser can magnify existing, untreated problem areas. I was told also to place the abso... | |
| room size question. @bshaw Sorry, I haven’t read the entire thread. However, when measuring speakers from the back wall, the measurement should be to the front baffle, not the back of the speaker. Similarly, side wall measurements should be to the front baffle. Also,... |
