| Tweeter type and brightness Hey @audioconnection I’m not familiar with tweeter breakup 30 years ago. In looking for evidence of it in cone drivers like a midrange or woofer you usually see it as a sudden peak. I just checked a random $12 driver from Peerless and I did not se... | |

| Hard disk for Music Server Just FYI, you do not need speed, but if you plan to store 10TB, you probably want reliability. I suggest an external, network enabled NAS. Doing RAID with a PC is a dangerous affair. If the motherboard dies, you may not be able to recover the RA... | |

| best hi res streaming service for jazz? Not a service per se, but the newly created jazzcast.ca online radio is pretty modern sounding. Created by the women of JazzFM 91, Toronto. | |
| Amp Speaker Pairing Have you looked into Tannoy, or the large Klipsch models? | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? PS - If you have a 2nd turntable you haven't used in years and want to donate it to a good cause, I'm a very good cause. ;-) | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? In case it wasn't clear, I don't know how many LPs I'll end up buying, but buying inexpensively to learn whether I like this part of the audiophile hobby for myself or not is a good idea. "Buy a decent rig that won't hurt the albums and see what ... |
