| Neil Young I've seen Young in concert multiple times starting in 1970. He's excelled at staying fresh and reinventing himself over and over again. The last few years he's gotten stale, like anyone that age (one might expect) but has done an enormous job of... | |
| John Fogerty Legacy Album You deal with when you remember with what you heard when you were young listening via your car radio et al. I remember us laughing at the Bad Moon Rising sounding like "there's a bathroom on the right'. Unfortunately there's little chance of you... | |
| 8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC Sure. Then put a sign in your front yard that you own a $50,000 DAC, preferably next to your Bentley. | |
| God, I hate to ask this… 'I'm an anesthesiologist, retired now for about 8 years I have never enjoyed my stereo system as much as I do now. I had a deal going on a few months back where I thought it likely I had lung cancer. Although having had tricky stuff in the past... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? This thread is astonishingly useless. Not to mention, it starts off with evaluating the sound system in a Mercedes (!) as a reference for a home audio system. Then it gets worse. | |
| Question regarding adding a poweramp to an integrated amp Just get a new integrated. Time marches on and those times change. There are a passel of integrated now that make the separates an expensive afterthought. Also, then you'd still have the preamp outs for subs should you want them. | |
| Upgrading from Dual 704 to Technics 1300G – Worth it for Sound Quality? You will not believe the difference. | |
| Why not more wireless connections? There are times when convenience is useful. It is never paramount. I don't stream, I've got more LP's and CD's than I can ever listen to. When not listening intently I prefer as much silence as I can get, and that includes the AC and the roofto... | |
| KEF R7 META There’s one BS response with an amp recommendation. No one’s perfect. Anyway, I checked and I’ve got those Db ratings way to high. 65-70 is just fine. Didn’t know what I was about there. | |
| KEF R7 META I neglected to add: they come alive when reasonably cranked up. I would say at least 80 Db, maybe more. Quiet listening not their forte, but with minimal neighbors, not an issue here. | |
| KEF R7 META My pair has the titanium-painted finish with the red coax drivers and look pretty sharp. I had the LS50's in a townhouse earlier and brought them with me when I moved into a bigger space. The LS50's (not Metas) sounded good here and threw a rema... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? You can get ready made crossovers from Madison if that part bothers you. I did that 20 years ago when building a pair of Dick Olsher's Basszillas. The top was a large acrylic sheet I had made for open baffle, a Lowther DX4 midrange and Chinese r... | |

| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! @ghdprentice Thanks for that post, which really made me think. One thing irritating to me is the concept of audio engineers deciding for me what I want to hear. It's one thing to be sitting in your home with different parts of the keyboard spr... | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling If that were me I would get the Blue Jeans Cable option or make my own, then also go to Cable Company for a set of Transparent or whatever you choose. Try both. If I did that and liked the Transparent I'd use that as a biwire on the top and pu... |
