Underpowered?
If you go with  subs, you will need an active crossover or DSP to roll the lows off your 702’s. Then the Mac will have more than enough power! I still have an ancient audio research crossover for such needs. All the best. JD  
Is this stylus worn out?
Another one for cleaning your stylus.  It only takes a couple of minutes and cleaning it should be part of your maintenance schedule. How often depends on usage, time and environment. All the best. JD

Hey all, This thread is coming at a good time for me. I’m starting looking for an affordable PC for my Hegel H390.  So which Hijiri pc would you suggest I start with to open my soundstage more? JD  
Can one have too many tube components in a system?
I have two systems. One is all tube and one is SS. The tube system is in a basement bedroom and by the time the first album is finished, the room is comfy warm😄. Oh and it’s dead quiet. JD  
What a pile of Schiit
I have found the product I bought, the Bi-Frost, was everything and then some. However the service and sales people are VERY black& white, with a take it or leave it attitude. Not customer friendly at all! JD  
Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue??
Not yet.    
Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application!
@gladmo , I have a system in a former basement bedroom and I had an intermittent hum/buzz. I made some blocks out of 2x4’s and made some trial risers for my speaker wires. The noise immediately went away. I have a second system in my family room ... 
Sound
@woowoo, LOL,  My wife threw out my Koss 4’s. I had them sitting on a stand for years and one day she decided to use them and the ear cushions crumbled.  She was so grossed out, she tossed them like they were a dead mouse! JD  
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
@oldhvymec  You crack me up! 😆 JD  
Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit
@soix  I have about 2000 CD/SACD’s, with about 1/2 of the ripped on a NAS. I listen to 2 - 3 a day. At that rate, I won’t repeat any for about 3 - 4 years! 😀 All the best. JD
