Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
After 1980 huh, sorry Madonna, Celine, Maria, Whitney and others, you better start treating your voices.  
Is Imaging Worth Chasing?
I wouldn’t call it a chase. It just happens when you get enough things better. Front end electrical and digital/analog signal cleanup , spkr positioning, spkr isolation, room treatments. Subs properly integrated improve imaging and/or soundstage. ... 
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
I have never stopped listening to new music. Beatles, Brian Eno, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Kraftwerk, Weather Report. Were my first and second wave. At the time there were actually new inventions such as stereo recording, synthesizers, etc Now that st... 
Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'
Happy Birthday @ 50!  Psychologist huh?  I just Enjoyed the album. Even after it played on a turntable on repeat throughout the night in college.  It alternated with Santana Abraxas.   
Is Magnepan still in business ?
One thing about Magnapan, they have been around a long time. Their speakers have always sounded good and are reasonably priced. A three month lead time is for starters these days.  I see ads here for admin asst  here for $20-25/hr.  Thats what it ... 
Add-Powr Power Conditioner Review
I have the Symphony IO.  All I have to do is turn in on and sit down. It takes a few linutes, then you will hear the music sound richer and more open.  Turn it off and music will just sound less engaging and open.  This test is repeatable. I have ... 
Streaming Services

Digital Cable Recommendations
I saw some cables that were made out of carbon. This included interconnects, speaker cables, etc.  i can't remember the name.  Also the Network Acoustic cables are good but expensive.   
8-10k budget suggestions please
Some room treatment would be nice.  $1500. I used GIK acoustics.   
I want more bass…

Fuzzy playback
I put deoxit on the rest of my interconnects today. That may be it. I should have known. My crossover is about 30 yrs old. The volume controls are not the best. The RCA bases are not the best. I should call Phil Marchand and get a crossover made. ... 
Fuzzy playback
Now I confused myself. If it is a connection issue with digital, it either works or it doesn’t. Correct? This sound has been from RCA cables or volume controls in the past. I assumed it was ethernet cables after I unplugged the patch cable from th...

Class D with high efficiency speakers
Take a right turn.  Try a Pass XA25.  I will never sell mine! I know, it is Class A.  I have left it on for days and didn't notice any electricity use increase.  Class D will be detailed but so is this one.  This unit is single ended only, no bal...
