I'm a member on many audio forums, but I've found this place to be one of the most straight-shooting. Some places seem to be filled with people who cook all their meals with snake oil, and others are so obsessed with measurements and specs that they appear to think spending more than $50 for...

Thanks, @VSAT88. Yeah, I think I'm getting over it now, lol. They still look gorgeous, and they sound amazing. I'm really happy with them.

Now:

Thanks, I'll take your advice. Once the stands arrive, I'll be able to get them set up properly and just use them rather than sit and look at them up close.

This might be ridiculous but I'm worried that if I play them at anything above a low volume, the vibrations of the cabinet will exacerbate the cracks. Is that just wrong?

That puts my mind at ease. Sorry to have reminded you of the blemishes! Yeah, I'm thinking that, if they stay like this, then any attempted repair might do more harm than good. I'm a bit OCD, lol. I wanted to post this to get perspective and make sure it wasn't anything to worry about.

Hoping to get some input from any woodworkers here. I recently got a pair of Harbeth SHL5+XD's in rosewood. They were shipped from Nevada to Michigan. They are less than a year old. When they arrived, I gave them a physical inspection while I waited for them to warm to room temperature. I was...

I'm more at the start of my career right now. I teach philosophy at university while I finish my dissertation/PhD. Right now I'm a lecturer but I'm currently in the last round of interviews for an assistant professor position. Wasn't until I got into hifi that I wished I had pursued...

I don't need another reason to stare at the ceiling.

Maybe it's time to sell mine. It's just sitting in the box. Would put a dent in the outlay for pair of Harbeth SHL5+XDs!

I'm using the Rega Ania Pro MC. I have an Ortofon Bronze as a backup that I bought a while ago but never got around to using. Was thinking of putting it on the Technics SL-1210GAE if I ever decide to open it, as I hear they're a good pairing. (Or maybe that was the Ortofon Black...)

Look, I think we can all agree that that tire is in fantastic condition, so it stands to reason that the sound coming from it is going to be great.

I bet those speakers sound 'fast'.

I'm sorry to hear your cat has passed, Chris. Always very sad when a pet goes.

Do let me know if you ever get back to that project! I saw an M-300 on eBay a couple months back, but didn't pull the trigger. Back to the waiting game, I suppose. One will pop up eventually.

I know this is probably a long-shot, but figured I'd post a 'Wanted' ad anyway. Seeking an IT M-300 gauge with original checking bar.

A friend of mine who's a TV nut swears by LG OLEDs.

I think 'high end' for me is a matter of build quality, performance, and cost, and I'm sure there's things I consider high end that others don't or vice versa. I think a lot of people (esp. in the Agon world) correlate 'high end' primarily with cost, where the higher the price, the more 'high...

Cheap beer is my favorite. Rolling Rock being my preference.
