| Ric Ocasek found dead. I've been listening to the Qobuz Cars playlist for the last 2 or 3 days. So many great songs! And a few not so great ones - see Shake It Up and Door to Door. | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 Used Audio Research VSI55's typically sell for around $1500. A little over your friend's budget, but it would sound sublime with Klipsch. It was a really nice match with my Heresy's. I'm using Harbeth P3ESRs with it now. | |
| Using paypal for local pickup I'd rather do friends and family than carry that much cash around to a strange place. | |
| Is the MoFI UltraDeck wit the MasterTracker cart the best TT solution @ $2,499? I don't know if it's the "best" for that amount, but I have heard one and it sounded great and seemed to be really well made. | |
| Tube amp mono block recomendations You should be able to find some used Rogue Audio M-180 monoblocks well under your budget (they are $6500 new).I have them in my main system. They are detailed and dynamic and fairly neutral. I wouldn't classify them as "bright", they are in many... | |
| Best subwoofer's for $2k/pair??? I'd look for a couple of used SVS SB13 Ultra subs. They should be available for under your budget. I think you'd have a hard time getting more bang for your buck. If you prefer new, increase your budget and look at the SB 4000. Another option ... | |
| Warm Class D for horns? I have a Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000 MKII (460 wpc, ICE power) driving Klipsch KLF-30 speakers and it's a nice match. The mids and highs are detailed, but not shouty or bright like they can be when paired with the wrong amps and bass control is excellent. | |

| Favorite cover? Speaking of Rickie Lee Jones... I love her cover of Steely Dan's Show Biz Kids. | |
| Peachtree Nova 150 or Hegel H-100 I have a Peachtree Nova 300 and have owned the Peachtree Grand Integrated X-1 Amplifier. They are both very nice pieces and sound great. With the right pair of speakers, the Nova 300 can dig out a lot of detail and music sounds natural. The b... | |

| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service Hopefully the added competition will result in lower prices from Tidal and/or Qobuz. I don't buy anything from Amazon if I can help it for a number of reasons, so I won't be using their music service even if the prices for other services remain t... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? Larry,The DAC in the Bluesound is really good. Try it first and see how you like it. The Bluesound has everything you need to control it remotely, you just need to download an app for whatever device (phone, tablet, PC, laptop, iPad, etc.) you p... |
