Are you getting the bass you deserve?
Yes, replaced an old Velodyne with a JL Audio and it sounds great, blends well with my speakers, can't even tell it's there except for the added deep bass.  
Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall?
Rihanna put on a great show at the SB! Who would you rather see, 80 year old Bob Dylan singing Blowing in the Wind? I am a big Dylan fan and I still wouldn't want to see that. It's 2023! Not the 60's or 70's.  Anyway, I have two nieces under 30 t... 
Made in USA
You buy products from  Japan!?!? After what they did to us on December 7th 1941?? A little back story - I worked at a Radio Shack back in the 1970's and many a WWII vet walked in and were very upset that we sold stuff made in Japan and they refus... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
Death Metal Polka. I just found my new career….  
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
You’re getting old. I’m over 60, so I can say it. So are you dismissing shoe glaze and Dream pop as new styles? Also try Alicia keys or Taylor swift. Sure, they borrow from jazz singers, but they made it their own and they sound nothing like Ella...

It was 61 years ago today...
Although I don't remember when they were on the Ed Sullivan Show, my family was in the same hotel as the Beatles in 1966 when the Beatles played Washington DC. We were in the pool area they came out on their balcony and waved. The girls went nuts.... 
Sound quality of new vinyl recordings.
I've brought 180G copies of my favorite LP's. Most were definitely better then the old pressings. But as @vonhelmholtz stated, it all depends on what company did the new pressing. Getting opinions is your best bet on which ones are better or not. ... 
A public service announcement
+1 @erik_squires  Aside from the great (snide) comments, let us know how you like the Hana. I've been temped myself.  
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
@fuzztone wins.    
"Need" Roon, Bluesound Node, or or other streamer?
Another hater of MQA here, just FYI. It's a solution looking for a problem. I started with a Bluesound, easy to use and setup. The DAC was fine, but it's not going to be top of the line for the money of course. I then got an external DAC for it a... 
Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer
Agree with @fuzztone , but  ​​​​​​@designsfx makes a good point, many systems use a version of the Unix operating systems to format data as it's a much cheaper license then the Microsoft format of data. Ask Cocktail, they will tell you. If it is a... 
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
@cleeds - You are 100% right. Mixing baseball with music and got them both wrong. Thanks!  
chatGPT identifies concentric driver designs like Ohm Walsh....
I've tried out ChatGPT and it is amazing, and scary. But my Grandfather (born 1870, died 1960) once told me that having electricity at home was really scary - to them it was magic. He said my Grandmother refused to turn anything on herself for yea... 
I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
I love how a Generation X person on this thread is sad for the next generation coming up and what they'll miss that he experienced. Hmmm, sounds like the Boomer being sad for everyone who came after them, and of course the Greatest Generation feel...
