| Whats playing on your system today? I’m going on a road trip to listen to new to me speakers, so I’m listening to a little bit of everything. From Pink Floyd to the soundtrack from Star Wars, Rouge One and making a playlist. I’ve got until Friday morning to get it finished. Any r... | |
| It's the Cicadas! Boy howdy have they been coming up out of the ground! Some are maybe an inch and a half long and the others are about two inches long and it’s getting noisier and noisier around here! | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? Whenever there’s a large thunderstorm, I unplug everything, but I have rarely unplugged everything for a solar storm. | |
| My new Borresen X3's I am so happy for you! I still haven’t heard the X3’s or any other Borresen speakers, but all the reviews say good things about them. | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps @marquis4099 In the last fifty years or so, I have had Tube class A, SS class A, SS class A/B, and several Hybrid amps and preamps. The preamps were all Class A’s and the Amps were all Class A/B. Right now I have a Hegel H390, that’s a SS clas... | |
| Why even bother? @secretguy Where’s the ad? Is it still listed as available? Maybe the moderators can help. I know it’s happened to me before and it takes all the fun out of the process of getting someone new. All the best. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @rvpiano I was hoping to do just that and to hear what people had to say about the myriad of different Brandenburg Concertos out there. It’s like the three bears, this one is too fast, this one is too slow and this one is just right. Just liste... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados So I have been listening to the Brandenburg’s again and there are so many different versions it’s hard to keep track! Who’s version is the best?? Thanks. | |
| Surge protector @rvpiano What Isotech unit do you have attached to your amps? I’m guessing it tripped and saved them? Sorry for your loss. | |

| Record Store Day 2024? @tomic601 Funny you mentioned Ragged But Right. I just listened to it a week-ten days ago. I started collecting Jerry Garcia music years ago and somehow never heard it before. Looks like I’ll be buying the CD soon.😁 | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @roxy1927 When I got the Hegel H390 broken in, I I bought the best Pangea high current cord and heard nothing different. I bought several Audience F3 cables and heard no difference. I bought AQ NRD4 (?) cables and heard no change. I have bought ... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? @12many I have almost everything Diana Krall has put out and I know that song very well. The bass is not boomy, so there’s something else going on. What speakers do you have? Are they front or back ported? What’s your room size? How far apart ... |
