When was the last time when serious new instrument was invented ? I’d say the most exciting thing on the music horizon is AI. Who hasn’t wished for an app that could build a song around a riff or a few bars hummed from your mouth? I have a collection of fragments that have magically appeared in my head over the... | |
Quandary If $300 is not an extreme burden for you, I'd give the new amp a try. The fact that you are very happy with the Benchmark doesn't mean you couldn't be "happier". I'm ecstatic with my B&W 804D3 but would love to hear the new SVS Titans in my s... | |

Coping with single sided deafness in right ear Balance control will help. Another sneaky condition is AMD (usually called Wet AMD). you’ll be losing vision in one eye but you don’t notice because your brain is so good at compensating. Google "Amsler chart" and use it from time-to-time. The so... | |
Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect Had problems with the veneer on some previous speakers. The veneer would show "splits" based on humidity. Not cracks but separation of the veneer. It's amazing how thin you can make this stuff. My guess is half the thickness of notebook paper. Th... | |
