| Horn listeners - Do you have trouble listening to others? I've recently learned that we have one neural pathway which conveys the electrical signals from our inner ear to the brain. We also have many (30? 40?) pathways coming FROM the brain TO our ears! Why? Good question. My guess is that the brain stor... | |
| No Music with No Power Glad everything O.K. for you now. I have an all-electric house and worry about power outages in middle of winter. Planning to get a dual-fuel generator and a propane heater (35,000 BTU) "just in case" to keep my water pipes from freezing/bursting.... | |
| VPMS speakers from the 80s I think the founder has passed and VMPS is no more. They used to recruit people who would welcome prospective buyers into their home for an audition. I heard a large tower which had truly magnificent sound. Our host cranked it on the soundscape wh... | |
| I lost an m7 set screw. What do I do? I found metric screws (especially set screws) at the "big box" stores are located in the hardware department in the "specialty" drawers. Just ask someone for what you’re looking for. | |
| New Type of Headphones in 2019 I heard about this technology 10-15 years ago. A transducer generates a very high frequency wave, say, 250K, then a slightly different one like 245K (180 degrees out of phase?). The two signals cancel each other out and the result is a 5k signal t... | |

| Older 802s or newer 804s I'm using 804 D3s and am having trouble finding any faults. Still looking for the perfect position (takes time). I really like these speakers. Unless you park them up against a wall, however, they do benefit from a subwoofer. | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? @musichead - Apparently, lots of people "buying by the brand" these days. I tried selling my Rega DAC here recently for $500 and didn't get a single offer (I have perfect feedback). There were others selling for even less. Glad you like yours and ... | |
| I bought an off spindle hole record from Wal-Mart. Score one for the good guys! | |
| I bought an off spindle hole record from Wal-Mart. Take it back and explain situation. At the very least, they should replace with a new copy. | |
| Question on Speakers...KEF R700 or Forte III's? I couldn't use Klipsch (La Scalla II) with a Prima Luna Prolouge Premium integrated. Got a pronounced hum which could be heard 12 feet away. Make sure to test for this before you buy (I lost many hundreds when I sold the PL). | |
| Road to Hana - Best Audio CD I've been on the road to Hana. Here's a tip: Two cars won't fit on some of the bridges. Learn to share! | |

| What is the best song you are hearing? I've always been a "late bloomer" and have only recently found the Nils Lofgren Live album. The first song "You" really razzles and dazzles and his "Wonderland" charms on many levels. Also, Rebecca Pidgeon's "The Raven" (an MQA showpiece) is also ... |
