Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?

I moved my speakers about 20 cm from the walls and adjusted toe-in by 5 degrees. The soundstage got tighter.

Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?

Finally introduced a tube component to the system, and am very happy with the pairing of a Joule Electra LA-150SE preamp with the Parasound A21. 95% of my listening is streaming Qobuz using my Lumin streamer as a preamp with its LEEDH volume control. I've been hesitant to put a preamp in the signal path for fear of losing clarity/resolution. Shouldn't have worried. If I've lost anything, I can't tell, and the fuller, richer, bigger soundstage I'm hearing now has me planted in front of the speakers and reluctant to move.
Thanks to Rich Brkich, the "Joule Doctor" - so generous with his time and patience. Great transaction start to finish!

Re: Paging @Geoff4rfc

Hey fellas!! First of all, yes, a very sad sad situation and outcome (so far) for some very unfortunate Texans.

Me?? I've been taking advantage of it and getting my white river rafting and surfing on....big time!!

Seriously, like Ron mentioned, I live in a non-flooded area thank God. Been getting pummeled with tons of rain but no threat of danger in my part of town.

And speaking of New Braunfels, this new chick I've been seeing lives in Cibolo (right next door pretty much to NB) and has got to be the cats meow.

Anyway, thanks to @txcoastal1 checking in and looking out.
