Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright

These terms mean nothing.This sentence is literally talking about itself and its author.Nothing but poetic license!This one too. Why must ignorance declare itself so boldly? Hmmm.It’s seemed to obvious to mention before, but clearly it’s not: expe...

On further reading, I’m seeing that @jjss49 comments about the power supply not really pertaining very much to the streamer section of the BS echoed by other posters on other forums. I lack the knowledge to assess but since I have a very good digi...

@mapman +1 My bluesound streams via an excellent analysis plus cable to an R2R tubed dac with various upgrades and a good quality powercord. I would like to A/B the Bluesound with another streamer, but I suspect it would be hard to tell a differen...

Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?

New edition of Harley's guide on the way
Exactly. I was being sarcastic because Stereo5 took a cheap shot at Harley.
