Replacement for Shindo
I never owned a Shindo but out of FOMO, I auditioned them a few times. The Shindo did not persuade me to switch from my Futtermans but of the things I’ve auditioned over the years, the Shindo came closest to sounding like my Futtermans. Here is a... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
As this is allegedly a settled topic I will wade in only briefly: - audio truism #1: the room is half your system. - when my wife and I renovated our 1865 4.5 story brick townhouse based on a Calvert Vaux #5 design from his Villas and Cottages, ... 
Audiophiles on Audiogon.
The poster identifies himself as Jackhifiguy and then attacks hi fi guys. Jeesh, poor, confused soul: oy vey iz mir. This is obvious trolling. Provocation, not elucidation. Doesn’t deserve a response guys. Pull this post down.

Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig...
