What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
Bose 901 version 5. Put aluminum foil on the equalizer fuse and the speakers go to 11.  
What is your experience with amp power?
Scott22 Great comment. Clear as mud to me as well. God Bless us poor guys!  But I think many people here have great contributions to a somewhat complicated issue. and i appreciate everyone's input. I have a low power tube amp that I really luv...... 
HT Sound quality - tube versus solid state amplification
I luv the sound of tubes. But for HT there are some considerations. The first is the longevity of the tubes and the driving of the tubes. I know movie passages can have dynamic range and swings of dynamics and that will tax tubes. I thinkeven more...

Educate me about DSD
bhvf and designsfx I bought a HiFi Rose RS250 and it has an internal dac and my understanding is that it can play DSD 64, DSD 128, DSD 246 and DSD 512. I just don’t know how I would configure the player to do this?  Streaming via a site like tida...

Need help! First step into high end audio
My suggestion is to get the words "high end audio" out of your mind. Those terms mean so many things to audiophiles that is just confusing and often too expensive in dollars. Go with "what sounds really good to you". Yamaha, Pioneer, Sony all make... 
Whittling down my choices to a final few pair...

Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023)
After much tweaking I have integrated my Vandersteen 2CE Sig II's with a pair of Rythmik F12G-SE. The Vandersteen's were good before the subs, but now the sound went to 11. As they say in Spinal Tap "this one goes to 11"....  
RIP Jeff Beck
Surprised and caught me off guard, so very sudden, now I am saddend by the  news. "Blow by Blow" was my favorite album for a few years. Very, very talented and innovative guitarist. God Bless Him and family. RIP.  
Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...
It's just as easy to be helpful or skip a topic if one feels compelled to be nasty or have fun stroking one's own ego by saying something against forum etiquette and rules. The problems rests with good judgment and not choosing to be a complete do...

Does the speaker on the left sound better or the speaker on the right? No they both are corrupt. It’s the shadow DAC that runs everything.
