| Jazz for aficionados I also want to thank all you guys for reminding me of all the great jazz out there! Listening to my second Bob Berg album, The JazzTimes Super Band. In case anyone is interested, Another Standard was the first.đ | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Great tune.  I hope to have some time today to listen to more! https://youtu.be/9VYImu9w_18?si=FxEZP7BSPMm_EXCb | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Bee  Uh Oh! | |
| Recommended power cords for Quicksilver V-4 mono I just replaced all my power cords with Clarus Crimson. Â I got a try before I buy and after two weeks, I gave my credit info. | |
| Tune of the Day Trapeze, Â Donât Ask Me How I Know. https://youtu.be/nWYBa0GzzDg?si=WGTfqIOG7p1IsIN1 | |
| Deals Gone Bad Very little EBay for me. I only buy from trusted places like Ali Express. đ. No actually I havenât bought from EBay in a decade and never from Ali Express. | |
| McIntosh Sonus Faber love affair, alternatives? Iâve been waiting on a pair of SF speakers for a while now and Iâm hoping they will sound great with either my Hegel H390 or my PS Audio BHK 300âs. My dealer is hoping they donât and that Iâll buy some Mac separates from them. | |
| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps Supposedly,  mono blocks have more umph to give as well as better separation and are  quieter.  I currently have both and Iâd be hard pressed to tell the difference.  Each brand has their own strengths, but power has never been a problem.  Separa... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? FWIW, Â Jay of Jayâs Audio Lab says the eithernet cables make the least amount of difference and that they should be the last cables to be replaced. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq Thanks for the wonderful review of the X3âs.  I have one question.  Did the dealer have both speakers side by side or were you using muscle memory(đ) when comparing the two? | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? My therapist/Wife tells me, if itâs in great shape and $20,000 off, I should go for it. | |
| Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META They are both overkill for any of the R series speakers! I have an H390 and it sounds great on my KEF Reference 5âs, The Hegel is $6k and the Mac is $8k.  Why did you pick these to power $2.5k speakers? The ârule of thumbâ that I grew up with is ... | |
| John Mayall has passed away @mashif I have about a dozen John Mayall albums and I definitely agree with you, A Hard Road is excellent! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Phish, Â Evolve. Great album. | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... Like many others, Iâve been listening to music since the early sixties. I had one of those suitcase record players that I traded for a mismatched pair of tube amps. Then I found Halfler kits and there was no going back! I have bought, swapped and ... |
