| Close your eyes and hear the music ? The less senses the mind needs to process the better. Agree with most of the above. I think it's important to listen mindfully on a regular basis in the pursuit to better fidelity. It you only listen deeply when you upgrade some part of your syste... | |
| New Music Direct catalog... 2022 Arrived today with Eddie Van Halen on the cover. Judging by the $110,000 worth of Koetsu cartridges on one page with quotes from Art Dudley, I'd say the high end isn't going anywhere anytime soon. When did Yamaha the inside of Yamaha amps sta... | |

| Choosing the right equipment As buffer so eloquently stated, ask your dad for his thoughts. He might find solid state gear fatiguing if he had tubes, or who knows, maybe he is looking for SS for simplicity. Hard to know. I'm not one to typically recommend Chinese gear but at... | |
| Bully pulpits I’ve owned the Nordost QX4 and QB8 together with Frey 2 cabling and it added a vibrancy and 'your are there' perception to my system. A few times my wife and I had our kids turn the QX4 off and in a blind test and we both heard the difference 10/1... | |

I don't think any reviewers are held to a nationally recognized standard. I'd guess some are making money from advertising hits, some are getting a magazine sal... | |

| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? I listen and the music draws me in to stay. What Mapman said. Plus: There is some magic between the speakers- a heavenly illumination . My wife sings more. More genres are enjoyed. When I still tinker but more to explore possibilities ... | |
| Bought the wrong subwoofer! I had one of the old Rel subs. I rebuilt the amp and the woofer needed to be replaced at about 20 years. I ordered one from Volt in the UK, they still make the same driver. It was a good sub. I think bass is one of the last things audiophiles un... | |
| Bought the wrong subwoofer! I’ve owned three Rel subs and also own an SVS. The Rel’s have a built in line level adapter. Most Rel fans like to connect their subs off the amps speaker terminals with the speakon connector (Zu has this connection too). You might consider buyin... | |
