| Jazz for aficionados I’ve listened to Bob Berg, Another Standard numerous times and it still makes me smile. It was funny to me when I read a terrible review of this album. | |
| Toe in is crucial I currently have a (broken in) loaner pair of SF Amanti G5’s and after they set them up as they were instructed to, there was no depth and and the top end was muted. They said that they took a 12 hour course on how to set them up. After they left,... | |
| Updating my streamer If the A 200 is anything like the N 200 in quality, you’ll love it! All the best. | |
| Tune of the Day Mike Harrison, Smokestack Lightning. | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison For the money, DH Labs are great. I have a Mirage usb running from my streamer to my dac and it’s been there for quite awhile now. All the best. | |
| Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to Plus 1 @kennymacc Don’t take our word. We don’t know your room and certainly don’t know your ears! Do you have an audio store or even a Nebraska Furniture Mart anywhere near you? Go out and listen to everything you can. All the best. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Listening to Bill Charlap, And Then Again. | |
| Bluesound No problems here. | |
| Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why? @emergingsoul Are you talking about the newish I’l Cremonse EX3ME or an older model? Either way, I can’t speak on the Il Cremonese, but I just put money down on a pair of the Sonus Faber Amato G5’s. I’ve had a loaner pair since Thursday and the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I am enjoying the Amati G5’s and I almost have permission to max out the credit cards to get a pair! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Curiousjim, how is your speaker audition going so far? It’s going great! I’ve had the KEF’s for about three years and while they have great staging and depth, I have never liked their actual sound. With all the drivers being aluminum... |
