| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! Let’s face it! Our generation from ‘55 forward had real hits, that many even young people recognize today on YouTube. Music today can’t hold a candle to the 60’s, 70’s, and much of the 80’s. Today’s music, and I include rap, is all trash. Even the... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Who in the world spends $30k on a pair of speakers?! That’s absolutely nuts! | |
| Open baffle speakers @campo007 Congratulations, and Enjoy! You deserve them! Can’t wait to see how they sound after being broken in! | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Why check for a Kit when you can find a low watt Dennis Had Inspire amp and preamplifier? They’ve been delivering the goods for audiophiles for 10 years, are extremely reliable, and sound fabulous. And, you can Tube roll to your hearts content ... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System Wait a second. You had the seller ship a fairly expensive item via USPS?! I’m sorry, but that’s on you. In all of my years I’ve never shipped items via USPS. Reason being, never, ever, skimp on shipping. Go big or stay home. USPS is NOT reliable, ... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Okay, with so many opinions it seems no one here actually knows the answer to the question. Uh boy! | |
| Krell Moves to new location I’m sorry, but this is not how to run a company. How many customers shipped components needing repair to Krell before the doors closed? And how long must someone sit in limbo while the legal process continues. I’d hate to be someone who’s sitting ... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Tube replacement costs are simply a part of ownership of tubes. You have to weigh is it worth it to spend $8k on an unknown. Tubes aren’t ultra expensive. So I don’t understand why anyone would consider giving up tubes for $500 every 3 years vers... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps Did anyone read the question? The OP asked if anyone had experience with 2 specific amps and then everyone gives their favorites. Both the amps the OP mentions have very good recommendations. Sooner or later you have to take the plunge. I’d be... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 if you’re into smooth jazz I’ve got a good one. Gato Barbieri had a plethora of jazz albums from 1975. His best selling was titled Caliente. It was a hot album. Here’s his take on a well known Santana tune Europa. https://youtu.be/... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Jazz isn’t for everyone. Which is why so few in America purchase it. I believe that’s because most haven’t developed an ear to appreciate it. And yes, it helps if you’ve played an instrument to give you greater technical understanding. However, th... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A I have never understood the preoccupation with bass. For half a century we didn’t even have subs. When you listen to a live band do you experience the bass is missing? I just don’t get it. I have ML’s, and I have more bass than I need. This withou... | |
