| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. @cleeds "Spotify HiFi." Ha-ha. So much for AI. Yes, Spotify does not yet offer lossless, but honestly, who cares? Get a decent setup with properly positioned speakers and reasonably decent equipment, and you’re off to experiencing good, invol... | |
| Robert Harley's Home Reference System Where is the audio sound? I don't get it. Isn't that like asking for a taste of the food prepared on a TV cooking show? | |

| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. I'd suggest that younger people are demonstrating an active interest in high-fidelity audio in several ways (some assist here from AI): Embracing Lossless Streaming and Hi-Res Audio: With services like Spotify HiFi (forthcoming) and Apple Music ... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community @nonoise Funny! He’d probably think that. One of his trademarks is to the the "outsider with insider knowledge." This is like the Mikey guy. (Actually, he’s the "rebel-who-tells-it-like-it-is-but-also-wants-to-sell-you-stuff-but-hey-its-not-about-... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community while this is one of the cringiest one, it’s worth discussing and a separate post 8. Being an audiophile is “all about the music” First, audiophiles are KNOWN to be about the gear. How much - it all varies. Second, they are not about the music,... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community @rpeluso Thanks for letting everyone know. We were all going to spend the day wondering, "I wonder if @rpeluso cares about this." Phew. Load off my mind. | |
| Power Supply Upgrade for Bluesound Nano Upgraded my Bluesound with PD Creative out of Poland. Nice guy there was taking in refugee families from Ukraine at the time but still answered my questions and shipped promptly. I like the results, too. | |
| Footers under new speakers @ronboco You have exceptionally well braced and quiet speakers with a special base, no? I don't know how much the podiums would do for you. Probably just an email to Townshend would give you something to think more about, in relation to you situat... | |
| Footers under new speakers See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW9-r83IvhI&ab_channel=TownshendAudio Here’s a guess at one question, @ronboco While spikes increase the coupling that helps to stabilize the speaker and direct energy into the floor, the mecha... | |
| Footers under new speakers @sls883 @buellrider97 John Hannant is who I dealt with. Because Townshend sells on A'gon, they notice when they're discussed on fora. I had good experiences with John for purchasing and also advice. I trust him and another Colorado friend bought... | |

| Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System? OP, I just realized you're looking for a receiver, not an integrated amp. That leaves me a bit stumped. | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier @curiousjim I bet they'd be fine for those speakers. A lot depends on the impedance curve but I used the Pass XA25 for speakers with very reasonable impedance curves at 87 and 91 db sensitivity and the amp never faltered. https://www.audioholics... | |
| Looking for a new power amp - choosing between T + A, Atoll, Rogue I have a lot of respect and good experience with Atoll. A quality company. I also think buying used is a no-brainer good idea. |
