Building a stereo room and ran into some problems, help!
If I’m reading #4 correctly, stuffing any kind of blanket or such into the inside of an air vent as a longterm solution would be a big fat no-no. There will be far too much moisture buildup inside the vent system during normal use and it won’t be ... 
Upgrading amplifiera.
Some folks are forced to upgrade (or at least get something different) when they buy themselves those shiny new speakers! Upgrading amps goes on all the time in general, maybe too much you could say. I used to think in terms of upgrading, but afte... 
Beatles Love..latest iteration
Best stage performance act I ever saw (saw it in Vegas in ’07). Haven’t seen it since so I can’t comment on what you might have seen. Was thoroughly engrossed and entertained. Many memorable moments...the disintegrating Bug blew me away. Was virtu... 
The Slow Secret Death of the Guitar
While the article is interesting (and accurate) it really should not come as too much of a surprise to us, since the acknowledged guitar gods are only one facet of the overall of what we've really been in decline with and that is rock or pop music...

@nkonor and prof, I tried and tried as well. But, in my own case, I came to the opposite conclusion - good, "killer" subs and and 2-way standmounts just might be the Only way to solve that problem...at least if you ask me. But, what I found was th...

@onhwy61, "that is because "History" is written by the winners." (as jmcgrogan2 correctly noted).Everyone remembers the 2 most important battles of the Revolutionary War: Yorktown and Saratoga....which is fine except there were actually 4:Yorktown... 
Too Many Forums asking about how to improve ones system, etc.
I suppose as an 'experienced' audiophile (and one who does not "guess" at what audio descriptors mean), I'd say that the biggest impediment to improving one's system is not the lack of good advice, there is plenty of it in these pages, nor is it a...

How old is too old for a Dac?
I’d say by the time you're 90 you’re too old for a DAC. 
All Things Must Pass
I have not heard any of the latest vinyl for All Things as I began phasing out my vinyl and went digital in the 80’s, but I clearly can recall the vinyl pressing I had back in the day as just plain awful - certainly by comparison to the remastered...
