| Whats playing on your system today? Went and saw a Pink Floyd cover band Saturday night, so today is starting off with Pink Floyd, DSOTM. | |

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato The new song writers must be doing something right, otherwise they wouldn’t be making millions or in one case a billion. | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Parts and build can make a huge difference, but so can how they’re used. For instance, I have a pair of old Yamaha 2 ways speakers than I’m using in a desktop system where they sit 2.5’ from my ears that sound great! But there is no way I would p... | |
| Streamer apps critical My thoughts are the same as @oddiofyl . I have the node N130 and the N200 and the Bluesound app is simply and easy to use. I have a Bluesound Vault 2i in my second system and an Aurender N200 in my main system. Both have been great, the Au... | |
| Do I need new tubes? @rvpiano I have the same tubes in my preamp as well and they should last a minimum of 5000 hours. Depending on how they are configured, maybe as much as 10,000 hours. Oh and I have used the RCA Cleartops @dogearedaudio mentioned and they are gr... | |

| Do I need new tubes? @rvpiano A few questions. What kind of tubes are in your preamp? How many tubes are in your preamp? How long have those tubes been in the preamp? And how old is the preamp? | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art I have never thought I’d get the exact same sound ant home as I would at the Symphony. There’s a big difference between a symphony hall and my listening room. Maybe using a good headphone system could get closer, certainly not using a pair of spe... | |
| Merry Christmas One and All Happy Happy Holidays and a prosperous new year to all. | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! Lol, If I win PowerBall or Mega, the sky’s the limit, but coming back to reality, I am thinking about possibly getting a better DAC or maybe a DDC. I do like the sound of my Pontus ll, but I’m sure there’s better DAC’s out there and I want to he... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 The nice thing about this hobby of ours is that there is no right and no wrong. It’s all about our ears and our musical tastes. Congratulations on your daughter. | |
