Guess who has new speakers in their lab?
   
Music first or sound first?
It's always the "sound" to start, but it doesn't last long. Then the "music" takes over and I am lost.  
Listening position/speaker position
"He suggested that I put the speakers in the middle of the room and move the listening position against the wall" Are you sure this guy is actually a friend? Maybe he was joking with you.  
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
Sorry, but that is an incredibly ignorant view of how sound works. A room isn't some benign bystander. Just because it doesn't have bare walls and no furniture it doesn't mean it has no impact. The dimensions of the room itself can ruin even the ... 
FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!!
I remember back in the early 1970's, I bought a subscription to an ad free, audiophile equipment review publication called "The Audio Critic". Their mandate was to publish completely truthful and unbiased reviews of equipment, without the pressur... 
Do you live in a rural or smaller area with no Audiophile Support Nearby??
@winoguy17  Forget the mods. I don't like it. The OP no doubt meant this to be helpful and it might be, but this is a forum, not a bulletin board. I get enough spam ads in my life. I don't need more when I come here.  
Wall wart removal...why no products that can handle multiple devices?
I believe you are looking for a Wyred4Sound PS-1.   There is a base unit which you can add up four additional outputs with different voltage ratings. Three regular 1 amp outputs, plus one high current 3 amp.  
I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
@tylermunns  I know what you are saying and I am not trying to be a dick, but "I love female vocalists." as well. I phrase it that way so the person I am talking to knows what I am trying to say. It's like having a "Best Actress" and "Best Acto... 
I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
100% disagree about Joni Mitchell's "Blue". 100% agree about "Exile on Main St." That was easy.  
DIY HiFi
Just my opinion, but the site looks very sketchy to me. They advertise "brand new with warranty" ProAc Tablette 10 speakers for $650. when the actual price for a pair would be more like $2,500.00. Ask yourself why.  
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
It's simple. The more a turntable weighs, the better it will sound. That's why I have an amplifier with .000000000000000001% THD.  
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
Call it youthful enthusiasm. I was the same way when I was twelve.  
Questions about Musical Fidelity M5si Integrated
I have no idea about the "common ground", but I have the Musical Fidelity M6si operating in a HT bypass capacity and it has functioned flawlessly. No snaps, crackles or pops.  
Moon 110LP V2 replacement Power Supply.
Probably easier to buy another 24vdc wall wart power supply, rather than try and find the two prong adaptor.  Cost would be anything from cheap to more than the cost of the phono pre. Your decision.  
Overkill for small room
 Whether you are nuts is irrelevant. The fact that you are asking questions on this site is all we need to know.  Why would they be "too much" for your room? Are you planning on turning it up to 11? Some speakers just need more oomph to really ...
