| What would you save in a fire? @dseltz until we discover that ever elusive sarcasm font! | |
| Let's talk about Silver... i am fairly materials agnostic I've had silver and copper, and even some carbon and ceramic cables in my system. I go by overall sound quality, right now my analog cables interconnect and speaker are all copper, Kondo, Auditorium23, and Audio Note... | |
| Check This Out! I also heard that same setup at CAF and didn't see this thread until now. I was wondering who the heck Cinnamon Audio was as those speakers were stunning looking as well as sounding great. Like @larryi I thought the system sounded great overall bu... | |
| Can you damage your speakers by plugging bass port vent? Plugging bass ports is a totally normal move if you're in a too small or bass compromised room go for it. | |
| Should I replace my 20-year-old Hovland Radia Amp? If the Hovland Radia sounds good then it is good no need to replace it unless it stops working. | |
| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? I read it and will probably check out All Blues in TriBeCa sometime. | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I don't tend to go see popular music so ticket prices aren't so much an issue for me. I typically see Phish 3-5 times a year they keep their ticket prices sane and mostly smaller club shows jazz mostly. | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? In terms of using my system I use it every day typically 8-12 hours per day. Mishaps sure I've wired things out of phase before.

| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? I made two big changes in 2023, streamer and amp, and none in 2024. Pretty much just bought tubes this year so will say biggest upgrade the NOS RCA 2a3s in my Wirght amps right now. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @jbhiller Congrats on the new speakers they are real beauties! A couple guys over on the SHF forums really love them and I dig the industrial design very much. Happy listening! | |
| Do I need new tubes? That's not really a symptom of a tube going bad and it's not unusual for tubes to take some time to warmup. But if you have some spares drop them in and see what happens. BTW always always have a full retube for your system on hand! | |
| Merry Christmas One and All Happy Holidays! | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Happy Holidays all! | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? It varies by song obviously some are more accessible than others. Countless times I've decided a song was the best on an album only to later consider a different song I didn't care for originally best on an album. |
