ear care
I listen to my stereo for at least an hour a day and my left ear has been bothering me lately so I keep the volume down some when I'm actually in the room. Ear fatigue is real so I pay attention to it. I play drums for fun in my spare time too and...

Tvad, your advice and experience would be missed if you refrain from posting in these forums. I hope you'll reconsider. 
Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?
Mapman, thanks for the sentiments. The beat goes on. I'm still looking for the high current amp in the used market that better matches my speakers and fits my amplifier profile:clarity with bass weight and refinementNot extremely heavy: 50-90lbs a...

Maybe a 80-90 lb amplifier but not much more. 
Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?
So far the efficient Class D amps I've tried have not presented the clarity, bass weight, and refinement with the (somewhat difficult load) speakers I own now. (I need some power and current damn it!). So I continue to look at Class AB designs. Bu...

Funk Essentials - Under The Radar
Sorry Bongofury, but having grown up on soul music (r&b), and funk, there is a difference. Some of the artists mentioned are definitely not funk. Great artists, but not funk. 
adding a sub to my definitive bp 7002's ?
I owned the 7002's and later the 7000s. I had issues with getting their best of low end power and weight. In the end, I chalked it up to 2 things, the room and lack of synergy with the amp connected to the speakers. I would look at experimenting w... 
what speakers demand high end electronics
Speakers that are revealing and resolving where their performance changes as the quality of amplification in front of them changes. 
Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic?
Regarding the mp3 thing, they have a company that does their subscription marketing and that company imo sort of "does its own thing." 
thoughts while listening
I listen mostly to instrumental jazz from the mid to late 50's so I think about the musicians, how they played, and what was happening at the recording or set. Albertporter in his post reminds me of Fiona Apple's song "Criminal." In it, she sings,...
