When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 .......
Sony had a Presentation in some large room/auditorium in San Diego. I remember attending (mid 80s) and listening to their CDs. Somehow, the music skipped and people just freaked out: "It skipped! It skipped!". Hilarious!  I loved Cds for their im... 
Hotel California sounds good on the radio.
In the early days of CD technology, some record companies (accidentally?) used master tapes that had the RIAA equalization curve (used to cut LPs) to make CDs.   
2023 Audio System Wish List
It's tough when you've reached the end-of-the-line. Really content with my "final" system. My only need/want is a tube amp for my second system. Been dreaming of a 300B amp with WE tubes, but may settle for a nice Class- A SS amp (Sugden A21?). Pu...

All New Treehaus Audiolab Phantom Of Luxury Open-Baffle FIELD COIL Loudspeakers Review
I'd rather see the drivers in B&W shaped pods (to avoid any diffraction). Besides that, I've always thought field-coil is the way to go.  
SACD players that will consistantly read the SACD layer of a hybrid disk?
Oppo players have a menu option that lets you prioritize which layer you want to play first.

Kim Simmonds Has Passed @ 75.
R.I.P. Thanks for the great tunes.  
Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up
Don't forget, speakers need warm up too. All my tube amps were good after 45 min. Happy Holidays!  
Not sure what to think or do...
Regarding speaker polarity, If possible, open the binding post box and check the connections inside. I discovered one of my Klipsch Forte 4s was wired incorrectly INSIDE the speaker. Good luck.

Preamp with two volume controls?
I believe Pass Labs made a totally dual mono preamp (XP-30) to the point where each channel has its own head unit which shares a common power supply (3 boxes in all). Could the Hi-Fi maker in FLA be VAC?  
Looking for an Integrated Amp or Receiver to power a passive subwoofer. Recommendations ?.
Another option is an older Onkyo HT receiver (e.g. my TX SR876) which lets you combine two channels into one. My receiver would yield 250 watts. Sells for a song.      
What would my Rega 25 be worth?
Do you know about the Audiogon "Blue Book" service? Think it's $30 for one-month access.  
Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source
"I have replaced the tubes and both amps were just tested at the factory." You're telling us the factory didn't notice you were using the wrong tubes? Sheesh.
