| "Good" Music Well this might just be new to you. Was just playing the Japanese pressing of The Payback, the 37th studio album by James Brown. The album was released in December 1973. I'm sure if the title track were released today, it would be a hit on a few... | |
| Integrated that blew you away It's all personal preference, and we usually recommend what we have owned. I'll be no different in sugesting the Hegel H590, now the H600. IMHO, a terrific integrated. It ticks all the boxes from good power to very good DAC. I just didn't fi... | |

| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? The price of TVs continues to fall every year as new technology comes along. Unless this is the tariff question in disguise, I would say never buy a TV until you have to. It will be cheaper next year. IMHO | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics @renosteve Just a thought, but check out SoundLabspeakers.com and read their white paper on the SoundLab electrostatic speakers. The section on distribution of sound waves should be interesting to you. Could be a good speaker choice for your ro... | |

| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? IMHO, a speaker is also a piece of furniture. Piano black looks great, on piano, but give me a speaker in Burled Walnut, or even Birds Eye Maple. Acoustic Zen makes some beautiful cabinets. | |

| What are some funny/clever/interesting usernames? Well I have to ask. Is your handle a two word statement, or a three word suggestion? Enquiring minds need to know. | |
| AV rack - Quadraspire Evo @skads_187 From one Canuck to another, this can be a fun DIY project. Have a look at this post I did a couple years ago. There is a section on building the rack. If you are interested in this, send me a PM and I'd be happy to share any inform... | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? I ask this question with complete sincerity. What is the fascination with vintage tubes? I can't think of much else where people put such a premium of things built decades ago. Nothing technological that I can think of. Are there some material... | |
| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Your description makes the room sound like a problem. I can surmise you have one wall that is +/- 21 feet long, but not much else. A lot of reflections off walls with paneling. Have a look at this site and see if you can select an area of the ... | |
