Best Brands Out of These-Wharfendale,Bowers and Wilkinsons...
Blowers and wilsons are the best.  They are manufactured on Nautilas submarines so the tapered tube pressures come out right.  Clitch towers are also very popular but you must clutch them when moving into place.  And their horn tweeterswork only i... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
Otherwise intelligent people with too much unearned money will buy a $16,000.00 power cord merely so they can tell their friends, "That power cord cost me $16K." Then, when pressed, they will make up some BS about why such a power cord could possi... 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
My, my, Liz....aren't we testy today.  Seems that with your seven thousand nine hundred and seventy-five posts here, you would be a little more accommodating. Take a breath and feel good that your A/V AC plugs are an airtight connection.  Ha!  Wo... 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
Elizabeth...if you recommend stuff like this for other, possibly less experienced audiophiles, it might be beneficial,  if not totally appropriate, to explain the science behind such tweaks.  There is a lot of just plain bad info going around in t... 
Tweeter cone on my B&W 805 Naut's is pushed in
Fast forward to 2019.  My Nautilas B&W 803 "aquired" such a dent in the tweeter metal dome.  Scotch tape did not work.  Packing tape did not work.  Duct tape WORKED!!!  Saved me $145.00 for a new tweeter.Took nine or ten snappy pulls but 100% ... 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
While streaming, to me, is entirely viewable and listenable, I still get Blu-Ray discs from Netflix specifically as my understanding is that, regardless of the speed of your internet service, streams will always be of lower overall (audio and vide... 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
If you pay attention, you will realize that this is just a matter of semantics. Amazon calls 16/44 "HD". And anything above that is "Ultra HD".Yes....but anything "above" 16/44 or ULTRA HD (as Amazon claims) would have to have been originally re...

I agree!  If you want to enjoy something more because you think it should sound better....it will.  Especially if a third party is telling you you should.  To ignore the power of the science of confirmation bias is naive.

Bstatmeister said above: "...even if it is 16/44."Nothing at all wrong with CD quality 16bit/44.1khz.  That bit and sampling rate was designed to fully cover the frequency and dynamic range of human hearing.  Human hearing does not advance with te...

Simao...I dont do Tidal.   Your ears will often times tell you you are hearing what you anticipate hearing.  But the fact is that fidelity ends with the recording session...typically analog.  You cannot take an analog recording converted to 16bit ... 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
Don't get too excited about "Ultra HD" files on Amazon.  Those files are merely standard resolution CD quality recordings re-processed into a 24bit container.  You cannot add quality to an original analog (or digital 16bit) recording merely by enc... 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
Don't get stressed about that, bstatmeister. Unless you are trying to listen to a recording that was originally recorded in the studio in 24bit (few are), there is no quality difference between Amazon's HD and Ultra streams - a fact Amazon decepti...

Fluffers...I’m all about great sounds in my ride which includes a JL Audio 12" sub. I usually play lossless FLAC files from a connected flash drive. But let’s get serious. Road, engine and wind noise is going to negate any benefit provided by high...

herman:Welcome to the world of "you're not smart enough to figure out we are lying to you."  Especially on this forum where you will find people who tell you you need to spend $1000 for a power cord or must break in your $300 AC receptacle by plug...

...fidelity ends with the Music Reproduction SystemYou are confused, clear (or not-so-clear) think.  The engineers in the recording studio are not concerned with your equipment (music reproduction system?).  they are concerned with the quality of ...
