| Is anybody using the new Afterdark music server? Looks good, I’ll try and keep an eye out for reviews. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Back when I started in this wacky world of ours, I had a set of Bozak A’s, then B’s. When I played the 1812 Overture, you could feel it! Now, with the way speakers have improved and subwoofers have improved, you don’t necessarily need big speaker... | |
| Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker. @hilde45 plus 1 While there’s music playing 4-5 hours a day, I try to sit with my eyes closed and truly focus on my system. Sometimes I sit and smile and sometimes I get up and change something. My real Itus, is reading all the reviews and watc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No big deal, I just threw it out there. Is it his best album, no, but it’s new and not some horrible miss mash of the dregs that fell on the floor either. Just don’t get me started on the “ Beatles song”! | |
| Tune of the Day Savoy Brown, Time Does Tell. | |

| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast BJ makes cables for a specific market and there’s nothing wrong with that. But to say that they are “High End” is just advertising. | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... I had the same issue in a previous house and I drilled two small holes in the floor and ran the right speaker cable under the floor. The wall to wall carpet hid the holes when I moved. All the best. | |
