| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Listening variables: Senior citizen Mild tinnitus Huge room 15 ft. from speakers, Electrostats with subwoofer and an additional 15" subwoofer. More power than I need. Radio Shack meter: C Weighed, Response Slow, Analog Evening TV 70- 80... | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? @ bjpd57a1 Thank you for a well written piece that caused me to slightly soul search myself. Nah, doesn't apply to me. | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @ willrich47 A useful analogy. Tekton speakers were never designed for the way they look; they are designed for how they sound. Ignoring the inclosure visual aesthetics saves a lot of money in production. The builder wants to give the "every... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @stuartk Wow. This was a wonderful explanation of what Jazz is. I listen to Jazz almost as much as Rock and Roll but I dislike heavy improvisational Jazz. Your descriptions of the different types of Jazz and the various interpretations real... | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? Due to the amount of internet thievery, I will never purchase any item under the F&F option. I see F&F and I immediately mistrust the transaction and/or the dealer. | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? I learn about any interesting audio equipment solely through reviews from magazines, the internet, or YouTube videos. Over the years, I have purchased a very good system. The speakers, not listed, are the only items I would not buy without hearing... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mike_in_nc you stated: “Although I can read the knobs, I prefer more definite indicators. I bought replacement knobs from DigiKey.” Would you please tell me the exact knobs you selected that gave you the indicators you needed. I want to pu... | |

| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @baylinor "Au contraire" -- Very nice. I love the French. I took it in high school, 2 years. I can't read a word, but I liked the comment. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq What an outstanding speaker review and comparison. I have a very good feel, based solely on your detailed and easily understood review, of the quality of each of these speakers which were unknown to me. I wish every review could be as w... | |
| Solid State Power Amps @audphile1 +1 Pass X260.8 monos This is the best amp I have ever owned. I have electrostatic speakers that are difficult to power correctly and the 260.8 makes them sing. |
