| Your method for discovering great music. Sure. It's a shorthand I use to describe movement somewhere on the web. This is based on using the free Bluesound app BlueOS, which I forgot to mention (sorry!). I'm betting there's Tidal or Spotify or Amazon have similar functionality. 1) It mea... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. Used to buy random albums at Goodwill but with streaming, the 3000 or so vinyls I have are sitting fallow. Now it's" Radio Paradise => Qobuz => "Go to Artist" => "Similar Artists" and you're off on an adventure. BTW, when I find s... | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air Replaced my KEF LS50s (only happy at louder end of things) with a pair of LRSs and a set of Klipsch RP-600M. Both were refreshingly different and fun. The Maggies need power (Bryston 4B SST) but the RP-600M is happy with a 2W Decware. Now have ... | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? Speaking of testers, can someone recommend a simple, cheap unit that I can use at home? Just recently got several tube units (Schiit pre, Decware amp) and have a bunch of tubes from prior systems. | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? Node 2i here. Had a problem after one of their updates with my PC's app. Sent them a help request. Their service responses were ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD. I know, all caps but it really was as good as it gets. Stayed with me until we found a workaround... | |

| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik nobel100Wow, thank you for the input. Your last point is one I've wondered about over the two years I've had the SVS...positioning. I recently read...who knows where...that in spite of traditional wisdom (i.e. you can't tell where those frequencie... | |
| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik Great info! So i have the LS50s in a small room (12x14) with a single SVS SB-1000 with an all solid state front in (Mytek + Bryston) except for my vinyl and feel like it integrates nicely. One of the original pluses of SVS for me was their tuning... | |

| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Siri's Svale Band – Blackbird (1st cut) - sold many a speaker. Joseph Audio used it as their demo SF Stereophile show in '80s?Makes you want to start smoking again . . . and by a ticket to Norway. | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. I did something similar, threw together a patchwork of left over mini-monitors with an old Kyocera receiver. The monitors are attached to the doors so they swing out of the credenza cavity and don't excite the volume like the soundbar did. |
