| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Enjoy the experience and don’t rush it. Great speakers deserve both time and thought. | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. Miller Carbon’s words are an excellent explanation of why cables can sound so different even if we can’t identify exactly why. “But you might want to keep in mind that just because we cannot explain why something works, does not mean it does not i... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? That’s always a “risk” with “investments” in technology. It always get cheaper but that doesn’t mean don’t do it. JFDI and enjoy it. Otherwise there’s never an optimum point of pricing to quality and you’re paralysed. | |

| Linn klimax ds1 vs ds3 I did it and would strongly recommend it. Plenty more detail comes through but also it seems much smoother. Effortless. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Wishbone Ash Argus was my first obsession album too. | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED The answer surely is for the FTC not to remove the existing rule until it has devised a new one, suitable for multi-channel equipment. Then people will be able to make reliable power output comparisons without having to buy the wrong equipment co... | |

| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? I used to have Quad Electrostatics 57 model and twin Lecson AP3 monoblock power amps. So special. My current front end is streets ahead of what I had then though. | |
| Speaker cable length It’s much better to have the speaker cables the same length and as short as possible. I have 6 meter balanced interconnects driving pairs of monoblock Linn Solos which sit just beside my B&W 800 D3s abd the difference to the previous “traditio... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I had a Mission 774 which was amazing with the matching 773 cartridge and other lightweight moving coils; I had a Hadcock /Coral 777 combination and then a Zeta Sumiko Blue Point Special which was superb and even better. I now have a Pink Triangle... | |
| Linn users need your advice on Amps. I’ve just bi-amped my 800 D3s with Solos and the result is transformational. For a year I had a pair of Solos driving them (following a Klimax Twin) and always found the top end lacking and little sense of space or drive. I found a pair of Solos w... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Some artists really do care and that’s one of the reasons there is so much information on their recordings for hifi to recover for us. But more importantly it doesn’t matter whether they care or not so long as the detail is there to recover. The... | |
| Copper, silver, or gold MC cartridge coils? I have a Koetsu Jade Platinum cartridge which sounds amazing. I understand it is the wiring and not the magnet that is platinum. It is utterly natural-sounding, clear and seductive - can transport you into places no other source has achieved fo... | |
| Tidal vs Quobuz Qobuz works really well for me as I know the music I want and am happy to browse composers to find new stuff. The big letdown so far is that I can’t load my iTunes playlist and import it all in ALAC. A simple way to do that would be a huge change.... |
