| Ugrade-itis - is there a cure? I'm essentially there now. I've never actually heard a better sounding system, at this point, than the one I have. That does not mean to me that there aren't better systems of course. I just haven't heard them yet. I fully intend to, even if that ... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? I think you may be up against the "designed-by-the-book" camp vs the "better-than-reality" camp. Most any hifi amp designers, using the "designed-by-the-book" model as a starting point, will try to push the performance envelope here or there, a li... | |
| Doncha get bummed? No...in fact I never get bummed about any of that.I did my homework and invested in things like "noise-floor reduction", "power treatments", "room treatments", etc. The percentage of "bad recordings" in my collection is about 1%. The rest are stel... | |

| Want my OPPO UDP-205 to sound as good as my Sony SCD-777ES I would take mine (if I were lucky enough to have one) straight to Ric Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems, Calif.). He's been modding amps and digital for more than 30 yrs now I believe and I've been dealing with him for many years. He's... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." I’ll agree with that sentiment. The author of the article put it this way:"Yes, there have been a handful of futurists – H.G Wells, Aldous Huxley, and given the state of many current governments I would grudgingly include Ayn Rand. Probably the mo... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @orpheus10 and @whart Much thanks for the kind words.@whoopycat "...he treats WWII as the beginning of time." I think that's just because that marks for him the beginning of his point of involvement with the industry and he was perhaps reluctant ... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..."

They do indeed seem like a great band.@orpheus10 "Once those "newbees" who bought into cheap analog rigs, realize they have to pony up a few more K to run with the big dogs, they either pony up or fold. Since they don'... | |

| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @orpheus10 Thanks for the arrogant history lesson that nobody wanted or asked for. | |
