| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound @mahler123 Start right here. You will not be disappointed. Roy Hargrove - Big Band Emergence. Jazz Trumpeter Roy Hargrove with a 19 piece ensemble. Terrific. | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. @inna Here's another question along the same vein. Many members participate a lot, and yet, have not added their virtual system. Why Not? | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? Why don't they just produce an Audiophile grade White Noise LP? I can listen to my system and fix my tinnitus at the same time. 🤣 | |
| Best Compilation Discs Sinatra: The Capitol Years Joe Henderson: Blue Note Years Just to name two. The mining of record label archives has produced so many wonderful collections. | |
| Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada To be totally prepared, make sure you have a County of Origin Certificate, and a bill of sale. You may pay a small duty but hey, you just got $1.47 CDN for your US $1.00. 🤣 | |
| Rays Tubes @rivinyl Ray Tubes are manufactured by Psvane in China. From Ray: We partner with various contract manufacturers to produce our tubes. In the case of the RESERVE KT88 tubes, it's indeed PSVANE that's handling production for us. While our KT88 ... | |

I don't think anyone pays full retail for anything. I doubt any of us pay more than 80% of MSRP for... | |
| Best Exercise To Improve Capability Of Handling Heavy Amps @skids An Excellent Answer. We will spend $20K on an amp, and balk at spending $200 on a piece of equipment to move it around? I recently drywalled a basement. Paid $250 for a drywall lift from Amazon. If I never use it again, it was still wo... | |
| My Gray Experience Just last week I was looking at an Esoteric E-02 phono preamp. Brand new as advertised on HiFi Shark. The vendor ships direct from Japan. All equipment is brand new and sealed in the original box from the manufacturer. 30% less than anywhere e... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? $5000 difference is pretty dramatic to me. 🤣 | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? @bdp24 A different approach to this question might be to ask, why do you still collect/purchase physical mediums in the age of streaming? I have not yet added streaming to my system. Partly because of the cost of components that would match the... | |
| Piano high notes very bright I would agree with eric_squires on the room comment. When researching what room dimensions work best for music, the subject of sound waves either cancelling each other out, or conversely, amplifying certain frequencies came up. I'm probably not ... |
