| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! Still have a basic British system that sounds great decades after it was contemporary. Naim CDi, Naim Nait 2 and Linn Kan I's. 👍 | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I remember back in the 1980's when CDs became popular and the belief was that turntables would no longer be necessary. Today turntables and vinyl are more popular than ever. When streaming became the new norm the belief was that CD players had be... | |
| Help - is Krell dead? So sorry to hear about Rondi’s tragic passing. She and Dan built Krell into the legendary company that it became. I did not know that Rhondi had gone back to working for them after she and Dan left Krell several years ago, the result of a dispute ... | |
| No replaement PCBs for Krell Evo series What about other sources for the PCB's or are they proprietary to Krell? | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist @mgw I did not mean to be ironic. I misread the post. lol. I just went to YouTube to listen to a few songs by Monkey House and their music does indeed have a sound signature that is very similar to that of Steely Dan. So much so that I would say t... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Having grown up in the 1970's, where Steely Dan's Avant-garde approach to making music would go on to make them one of the most unique sounding groups in history, it's difficult to fathom anyone not knowing who they are. But, this is coming fr... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles I think that AI is gradually being used to replace humans. As for the OP’s statement about AI written audio reviews, that would not surprise me at all. I’ve even noticed that when you do Google searches now, the information written about the topic... | |

They tend to detract from what is an otherwise wonderful hobby. This particular situation regarding a reviewer of the dCS Bartock dac , Cameron, is not unique. High End audio co... | |
| Amp showing its age? @hickamore. God willing you'll live a lot longer! 😊 | |
| Amp showing its age? Years ago I read an article whose author stated that as a rule of thumb, capacitors on solid state power amplifiers should be replaced every decade or so. This is even more pertinent when the amplifiers receive a lot of use. 👍 | |
| Mary Martin Died The Mary Martin who died decades ago was an actress and the mother of actor Larry Hagman. | |
| Ears nova: out of business? I think that Ears Nova was in the process of finding a new location when Covid became problematic. Whether this was a deciding factor in why the Ears Nova Website was never updated remains to be seen. I do know that they initially updated their... | |

| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? I received my first audio system from my parents in 1975, as a 16th Birthday gift. The system was comprised of a Technics SL-1500 turntable with a Marantz 2230 receiver and a pair of Infinity 1001a speakers. I still have the 2230 nearly 50 year... |
