    Please, for the love of God - Help me. Revel Performa 3 M106.

    You're right (as you usually are), and I was going to recommend this myself, except that it's too easy for a newbie to cross-wire the speaker/amp connections and have serious phase-shift.

    Newbie wanting some speaker placement/setup advice

    I like Static's idea. As an alternate, consider a good headphone amp/dac combo paired with the Sennheiser HD560S. Welcome to ASR!

    Proposal: Right to Fair Review (RFR) Association

    New to the audiophile world and hoping for some suggestions!

    Audio Technica ATLP 120XUSB

    If your daughter is going to be listening only to vinyl, and little else, I suggest that you buy the Polk S10's and the Sony STRDH190 (or the Yamaha AS202). Both have a phono preamp. Both are within your budget and will give you quite good SQ. The stock phono cartridge is good, but the...

    Down4Sound JP95 Car Amplifier Review

    Amir, a suggestion : give Car Audio it's own category. This topic seems to have much appeal to our younger members, and car audio has greatly improved over the years.

    Does upgrading a receiver for better sound quality makes sense at 60DB?

    The short answer is no. You would be better served by investing in room correction software. I'm sure many of our other members will be happy to help you in this matter. Welcome to ASR!
