| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? All in one units? I guess it’d be really challenging to learn about all these magical boxes can do. I remember buying a Nice sounding receiver from marantz and I found the thing incredibly complicated and challenging to deal with with respect all ... | |
| Where to Place Network Switch I’ve trouble following your set up. Is it possible regardless of how you set it up? Which version of the power switch are you using? I just use modem followed by a router followed by switches. And then the audio file grade switch I use is obvio... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art Live performance is a lot like cooking meals from scratch. It can be really really good if you know what you’re doing. Although these days frozen food, ie. Recorded music, is potentially better with all types of technology available and often is. ... | |

| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design It would seem crossover design is really important to a three-way. I guess if one was to ask this question with the assumption that if you had a three-way versus two way which would be better assuming crossover designs are not part of the evaluati... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? I inserted ‘real life speaker load’ into Google search and got this fascinating AI explanation. I was intrigued by this term that I read above. The AI info is less than helpful and doesn't really answer things very well. AI Overview Lear... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? So the second graph is better with respect to the line that’s more wavy. Which means it’s more responsive with a more accurate delivery of Dynamics as the music demands. A lower level of Dynamics, flatter line, is expected when impedance is lower? | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? @atmasphere @helomech I love it when you guys talk harmonics. I think you guys should get together for a play date. I think the harmonics area is underserved when people evaluate amplifiers. I like tube amplifiers because they seem to emphasi... | |

| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? Rap about five seconds. It’s absolutely horrifying. I don’t understand opera. Classical from Rachmaninoff is a challenge to understand. Frank Zappa challenging I just wish he played music rather than interrupt with all this weird stuff he likes to... | |

Power, Signal tubes, for different tubes as well as the voltage and power outputs etc.. Clearly an amplifier designer needs to be aware of all... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? So many sources to find good music to listen to and then when you get beyond all that you can actually listen to hopefully good music. Why can't I just be a Taylor Swift fan and make my life easy. | |
