| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? Worked in a couple of stores in the 70's that sold a wide selection of receivers from most of the "hot" electronics companies of the day. There were definite levels of quality in build and also in sound between brands. It wasn't all that difficult... | |
| Anyone else have issues with Tidal? I made the move because at the time I felt Qobuz had more titles that interested me. Haven't looked back. I see no reason to either from all of the comparisons I have read over time on these forums. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? I bit of a different road for me. In the 70's I sold a bunch of Yamaha for a high end store. Always loved the receivers but never brought one home. Couldn't stand it recently when I say a mint unit on Reverb for a great price. Snapped that bad boy... | |

| How long do you or should you keep your gear. I have a pair of Met 7's as my tv sound component. Decided to put them there when my audio budget allowed me to buy different speakers. Could never part with them. | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ Have seen Bruce in concert 3 times. Amazing shows. First was the best sound. Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. Acoustics so good I still compare every other concert to that night. As to his recorded material most of it was a mess as far as sound goes. ... | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. lg1 This post of yours sounds exactly as if I wrote it. I tried Tidal but found Qobuz more to my taste. Glad to see I am not alone in these thoughts and actions. | |
| Beatles Get Back documentary Early on I thought that Paul's confession that he felt uncomfortable imposing (trying) his will on the other 3 to work on the music together was a real "wow!" moment for me. He seemed to really be trying to hold the whole thing together. George wa... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? Art Roberts on WLS and his 3 Most Requested Songs in Chicago was every night listening for me. Heard my first Beatles music there. Sleeping out on the porch all summer with my AM radio trying to get Art or Tommy Shannon from Buffalo, WOWO in Ft Wa... |
