More potential bad news for some big names...
I suspect the audio industry, like many others, and Harley-Davidson comes to mind, are finding the baby boom generation has passed the peak years of spending.  As a member of that group, I can say I've accumulated most of what I need/want, and wil... 
No God No! Say it Ain’t So!
Can't wait to see the new SF docking station to go with my 15 year old Ipod Classic.  Which is still operating flawlessly.  🤣  
Speaker cables with good timbre
@dickieboy  I can second your opinion on Morrow.  I used them for years but only as interconnects.  Their Christmas sale appears to be the best of the year at 60% off.  Morrow is a bit like the airlines.  Always on sale.  A while back I needed to ... 
Speaker cables with good timbre
@audiogabby  I must say I find cable threads akin to asking what shade of blue is the sky?  Human nature says most will recommend what they are using themselves.  Then there will be dozens of different cables recommended.  They can't all be the be... 
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
As an aside, what brand of current TVs has the best picture?  Maybe more important than size?  I have always preferred the look of a Plasma screen.  Thanks to our movers, we had to replace the last one a couple f months ago.  Bought  an OLED scree... 
Are You Old Enough to Remember Those Jaw-Dropping Manufacturer Demos?
@waytoomuchstuff   i believe you are correct.  Funny that after all these years I'm listening to 7 foot tall panels. 😄  
Are You Old Enough to Remember Those Jaw-Dropping Manufacturer Demos?
One demo has stuck in my mind for the past 40 years.  It was set up in an empty storefront in West Edmonton Mall.  At the time, the largest indoor shopping center in the world.  Anyway, the vendor had two huge floor standing speakers on an elevate... 
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
Everyone who says go big is correct.  IMHO.  Forget your initial reaction to the size of the screen.  Your brain will quickly adjust to what it is seeing.  In no time at all you will be wondering how you ever lived with a smaller TV.  Also, the pr... 
New room needs new speakers, I need your help
@grislybutter  It's so annoying trying to send some basic information to another member, only to have the message blocked by admin.  Let's try this work around. Where there's a will.......  
New room needs new speakers, I need your help
@maurice89   I won't make a speaker recommendation but I will suggest you try placing the speakers on the long wall.  When your room dimensions are entered into programs that calculate the best combination of L - W - H, your particular room gets a... 
New room needs new speakers, I need your help
@grislybutter  What kind of list is this.  SoundLab doesn't even get a mention.  I'm beside myself with indignation!   🤣  
New room needs new speakers, I need your help
@maurice89  You have only listed the width and length of your room.  May I ask what is the height and what have you done in the way of acoustic treatment?    
Reliability - what’s your experience been?
In 50 years I've never had an equipment failure, other than a laser reader go on a DVD player.  But, in the past few years, I've had 3 pieces of high end equipment have issues right out of the box.  All three were replaced but it was a nuisance.  ... 
Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp
@freediver You are correct the Hegel H600 has an MSRP of $12,500.  Are you the guy that paid the full price that one time?  🤣  As for not having a phono stage, my thought was if you're not caring about the quality of the phono, it could be added f... 
Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp
The Hegel H600 should be a contender.  IMHO.
