    Hi-Fi is NOT a subjective hobby.

    Objective vs. subjective. Three pages in 24 hours, Wow. The cat is among the pigeons. -Remind me, what is the sound of one hand clapping?

    How Do You Think About Cost/Benefit Analysis for Your System?

    Cost benefit analysis is hard... My system has a 25 year old turntable and a very heavily tweaked pre amp and power amp. The pre amp in particular bears no relation to what it was as it has a different power supply and loads of Shinkoh and Caddock resistors as well as different caps. I spent a...

    Hi Todd Thanks. What I mean about pulling them out farther is that the room is 27' long and the front of the tweeter horn is (only) slightly over 6' from the front wall. "Sometimes it really doesn't take much" - You are correct, the last movement was to move them about 1" + a gentle kick...

    Todd, thanks, your comments on set up here are interesting (my highlighting). Note that my Trios are the older ones where the tweeter horn cannot be moved to time align it. I'll caveat the photo below by stating for the record the set up of my Trios in this new room are still a bit of a work in...

    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    "Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

    Upgrades that cost...nothing: For many years I used champagne corks cut in half as component supports. They worked surprisingly well, particularly under heavier kit. The really entertaining thing was about 5 years ago a couple of dealers (two separate occasions) came round to demonstrate...
