Reliability - what’s your experience been?
To clarify, I thought the sound problem was my amp which I knew was defective. Also my I/C’s which I suspected to be defective. So it was a big surprise to me to find the CDP was also defective. IMHO there is a lot of defective stuff out there b...

Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update

A day in the life of an audiophile
You do not  often see ads on TV for audio gear so i was interested to see what Bose would be pushing when their ad came on. Looked like some kind of earbuds. I guess that is where the most profit and general consumer interest lies.

Why not Voxativ Ampeggio ?  
Anybody here listened to Daniel Hertz Speakers? What did you think?
