| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. Not valid. | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? I grew up on a lot of the same stuff plus a healthy dose of Def Leppard, Judas Priest, AC/DC and a few others. All this talk about Styx reminds me of taking a bus to one of our high school football team's playoff games. Come Sail Away came over ... | |
| Question about Marantz Price If it has the Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge in good condition, then yes. If some other lesser cartridge has been put on the table, then maybe not (the Virtuoso is an $800 cartridge). | |

I only use mine when watching movies. I have it positioned right behind my sofa and it gives you more of that feel of being there. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I'm still checking out the Qobuz "Hi-Fi" playlists. I particularly like the "Qobuz Wow!" playlist, a great variety of music with a lot of ear candy. | |
| So It`s Ok To Mix and Match Ported and Sealed Subwoofers ?? My subwoofer adventures began when I was more focused on home theater. I ran a mix of ported and sealed subwoofers with no ill effects and used them for music also. I currently have two SVS SB13 Ultra subs and two Rythmik F25 subs (all sealed). ... | |

Rarely have I been disappointed with this type of purchase as I do a lot of research and try to find everything I can from both professional reviewers... | |
