| Movie/film suggestions. I watched Anora last night. Loved it. Mikey Madison deserves the Oscar. Also, excellent house / dance soundtrack that gave my 12" Velodyne some exercise :) | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks One note, if you opt for 8 or 6 gauge and are forced to step down in the wall to 10 gauge to connect to your outlet, I believe code will require a junction box. It does, however it is more practical to terminate the large gauge wire at a small ... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks A hypothetical: a 200 W/ch amp operating in Class AB at 60% efficiency draws a peak of ~700W (200+200 /.6 =666.7). Instantaneous peaks of 1 KW are possible if the amp has that much headroom. And those peaks are typically handled by the amps power... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore I don't think rappers are in any way, shape or form musicians. @thecarpathian I'll say this as respectfully as I can: You are wrong. I may not be a huge rap fan, but rap unquestionably is music. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Great to see Abdellatif Kéchiche being mentioned. A difficult director Also great to see The Counselor, an unfairly maligned masterpiece written by the great Cormac McCarthy, his only screenwriting effort. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Two more who belong on any best director list: Andrzej Żuławski Jean-Pierre Melville | |
| Movie/film suggestions. No love for Tarantino...? | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks That paper from The Absolute Sound is unusual. It mixes thoughtful, solid advice and downright dangerous garbage no one should attempt unless they aspire to become poster boys for Darwin’s teachings. Usually you get one or the other but not both... | |
| What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? A well thought out, professionally set up million dollar plus system sounds like a million bucks. To reach 90 or 95% of such a system for $150K is deluded and ignorant. It's not, though. Not if you bought the ten-year-old million-dollar system ... | |

| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship If streamers were wine, a Mac would be blush in a cardboard box. | |
| Preamp with separate volume control for each channel? I don’t understand why people are suggesting solutions to remedy a problem that any half decent tech should be able to fix? @perkri Good point, and I 100% agree, however OP seemed to be asking for volume control-based solutions. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @inthesticks I think you are correct, I don’t recall the Wilson’s age being mentioned in his 1st video either. Maybe he mentioned it in his follow-up video, but it was so boring I stopped watching it after a few minutes. | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? And here I am going to shamelessly quote myself from another thread At the end of the day, it depends on how much obsessiveness and pathological compulsion dedication and commitment one is willing to bring to the table. A purpose-built listenin... | |
| What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? In the end, it depends on how much obsessiveness and pathological compulsion dedication and commitment one is willing to bring to the table. As @onhwy61 rightly pointed out, a purpose-built listening room becomes a necessity if one is to even hea... |
