Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
In my office cellar I have my second music room which is of similar size to yours. I have large Proac d100s L&R - a Proac d80 center and left  & right surrounds, with my first EBS Proac speakers (bought 70's!) as rears as I cannot bear to ... 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Billy - Billy Fury circa 1963 - bought when I was 10 - I still have it and it was played to death. Not sure why my parents allowed me to play it 10 times over in any one sitting escapes me! That's all I had - so had to make do.The only comment my ... 
The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why?
We are not, noromance was pulling your leg 
The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
I am surprised at the comment that Benz have gone  bust. I am sure that is not the case. I am so pleased with my Benz LP that I bought 2! In any even they can be serviced quite happily without regard to going back to Benz. I heard the top of the r...

I  have had the GL 99 modified as you can upgrade the idler and bits more than you can the GL75. I certainly think you will not buy a pig in a poke with a good condition GL99 and 479$ in the above advert is a steal if in good nick. I paid £500 for... 
The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why?
I too have the Technics 1200G. Anyone want to buy it at £2,250 + postage? I did intimate that a quality set up LP12 would be much more preferable to your Nottingham. For example, I would certainly not buy a Nottingham over the lp12 as I would need... 
The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why?
I have the same itch. I have an lp12 with Dynavector xv1t cartridge and AudioOrigami arm. I am very pleased with it and have tried other decks at costly expense and have always reverted to a well set up lp12 as it is so much more musical and dynam... 
Speaker recommendation for Home Theater
Ah audiotroy pushing Kef again. To say that Kef are the best at home theatre is ridiculous. There must be hundreds of other suitable speakers and that comment is an insult to them, When I recommended from a personal view that the B&W 3 series ... 
20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok?
I have just heard the Entreq ethernet cable - sold in lengths of .55 metre Odd length .. I must ask the dealer why  
Cannot find perfect sound
Earbuds vary a bit. You can get the ones for babies which are excluding vat so are cheaper. They have I believe the same cotton bud on them as the others, so are suitable for cleaning ears gently. Once I did lose the cotton bit in my ear and had t... 
20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok?
I am far from being an expert so I pick up on odd comments. Did I hear correctly that in theory a longer power cable is better than  a shorter one?It was explained to me at the time but I didn't retain the reasons 
2.5 or 3 way; why one over the other?
The answer requested is not really discernible from these varied answers. If different - how does ACTUALLY MANIFEST itself. They make different but why - THEY must have reason presumably, but joe public on this list does not know 
Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
The dealer will hook the speakers up with their own cables and amps - so you will only be able to judge specific aspects of the speakers - and NOT how they would sound in your home or system. So many aspects are system dependent so I know it sound... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
"From Audiotroy Wcfeil, we really don't care that tatyana69 bought a pair of B&W 800d3 good for him if he liked them it is his money.Do you think that a pair of KEF Blades or B&W 800D3 or Focal Sopra 3 or any super high end $20-35k set of... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
I read up about the blades and went to a dealer for a test - well prepared to buy. I was thinking of replacing my Proac Carbon 8s which were a little soft for me. I compared the Blades with B&W 802d3s. Just as well, because I was sooooo disapp...
