Anybody have any tips or tricks for a record with an oversized spindle hole?

A friend of mine has the Super HLS Plus XD and, yes, they sound great but the Lintons are much more attractive to my eyes. All the exposed screws in the woodwork of the Harbeth make it look like it was built in someone’s garage.

I haven’t heard either, but my assumption was that the GoldenEar would be the better speaker. It looks so (overly?) engineered that I assumed there would be a big payoff.

Trying out this JQBX thing

If I were ever to get a set of Zu’s it’d be in the walnut (or rustic hickory).

Why not Zu’s? I haven’t heard anything about Lore. I need to look them up.

The Lintons certainly sound like a lot more fun by comparison alone.

I have yet to see any panels that would pass muster in our home.

I don’t know what all the hype is about. They don’t sound any better than my computer speakers. Huh. ;)

I picked up a lightly used 10x5 (mkI) for when I send in the Zephyr for retipping.

I love my Zephyr (the VPI version) and it’s hard to beat Soundsmith’s retip price. In fact, I’m about due.

What were you using before?

There are these bookshelf speakers on The Music Room for under $800. Pre-owned is a great way to stretch your dollar. https://tmraudio.com/goldenear-aon-3-bookshelf-speakers-black-pair-1/

I picked up a set on eBay for $50 and had a moment of panic that they wouldn’t work on the 20/20. How would you compare them to the BJCs? Enough to need to recalibrate your ears, eh?

Do any 20/20 owners have any experience with Zu Mission RCAs? I see the pair is joined for most of their length and I’m curious if they’re compatible with the 20/20.

That’s the worst.

Any report?

It started with quarantine boredom for me. “I’ll just try them out and return them,” I said. “They couldn’t make enough of a difference to justify the price, but at least I’ll know,” I thought. This of course turned into “How the fuck is this even possible?!?” It was one of those updates where I...

It would probably mess up the look of your Lintons and stands more so than it did my Focals, but adding IsoAcoustic isolation to my speakers (Gaia IIIs in my case) was an insanely good upgrade to my system. It’s a difficult to state how much of a difference they make unless you’ve heard it, but...

Stupid question: Is it “towed” or “toed”?
