| Whats the deal? I don't know many hobbies in which the appearance of the gear/object is a non-issue. Cars. Trucks. Guns. Cameras. Computers. Wrist watches. Boats. Horses (and the gear you put on them). Heck, even tractors.I also don't know why there is any reason... | |
| Speaker wiring question I tried what I mentioned above. Made two pairs of jumpers out of the same speaker wire I'm using for the speakers, good quality, good size. Put banana connectors on one end for the upper posts. Just used bare wire for the bottom posts. Will get so... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Leon Bridges - Coming Home. Retro R&B with gospel themes mixed in.This is another one of those albums that the more I listen to it the more I like it. This young man is the real deal. Not a poser. Not an act. You hear it in the vocals, his ban... | |

As my parents always told me "Its not about you".But this brings up another interesting issue. We often tell people to ditch their spouse who doesn't like giant speakers and ... | |
| Speaker wiring question I'm guessing it doesn't matter if the bridging brackets are attached. Just wondering why you would want to do that? | |
| Speaker Width? In the first room I had my system in the sweet spot was incredibly small. A difference of inches and I'm typically not a fussy audiophile about this sort of thing but in that room it was as you say, you knew the right spot immediately and all othe... | |
| what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers? @dpm2340 : " My original question asked what speaker replaced your Aerial 7B speakers."Right. But that narrows your potential responses to just about two and one of them didn't say what he replaced his with, just that he didn't like them.And for... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Carolina Confessions - Marcus King BandGood roots/blues rock by local South Carolina fellow. Not bad. I can hear a little Chris Stapleton influence but this is not as country as Stapleton. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Tedeschi Trucks - SignsNot grabbing me like their first album but definitely deserves a few listens before I pass judgement. | |
| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? My go to cheapie cartridge is the most expensive cartridge I've ever owned....Grado Black. About $100. Best sounding cartridge I've ever had! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Opus Two- Gershwin: Music for Violin and PianoWell done but not really my cup of tea. My wife is in "my" listening room so I'm playing it for her.She grew up with the pianist, Andrew Cooperstock and he and the violinist, Bill Terwilliger are frien... |
