| Recommend speakers for a large living room Sam Laufer at Laufer Technik is working on a new line array speaker called The Note that is supposed to tackle both of the primary issues you have: excellent 180 degree radiation with stable imaging, and large room oomph. They need to be paired wi... | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? Too few opportunities to hear gear that sounds/looks interesting.Dealers that change their tune on a company the minute they no longer represent them.The white-washed positivity of (and lack of any critical descriptors in) most audio reviews. I ge... | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker Smallest footprint that impressed me was a Totem model (I never got to ask which one) I heard at a show. I was literally looking around for the source of the sound because I couldn't believe those diminutive towers could produce such prodigious so... | |
| My Triad of Integrateds The Absolare Altius integrated is the best I’ve ever heard. Frighteningly real. It has a tube preamp stage and SS amp stage. Super minimal. This company deserves more attention. j | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I don’t have anywhere near the patience (and likely budget) for reel2reel, but super envious of anyone who does.

| Daily Audiophile I don’t stop until all the links are pale grey... those who use it know what I’m talking about.then I move to the monostereo link below and binge there. Audiophile crack. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? We are too kind to the equipment... and take out our pent up frustrations with mediocre gear on each other. (Kidding... kinda) | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? TotalDAC (monoblocs with streamer/reclocker) was a game-changer and end-of line for me along this search criteria. | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... Only one answer for all these scenarios, and I’m shocked everyone is avoiding the obvious:A pair of Psychron Master Legend Retro ES20 monoblocks Hybrid design, switchibable, dual everything... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables Re: point 3 of original post.... while I have never had the order of preference between 2 interconnects change from one system to another, I have noticed that once that preferred interconnect is in place, let’s say between pre and amp, it does not... | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. @david_ten mixing my sobriety metaphor with your pregnancy metaphor hopefully results in many full terms of musical enjoyment and not postpartum depression In all seriousness, couldn’t be more happy to have nine + months of not thinking about any ... | |
| Question About DACs @mzk...my question was: did you like them, find them musically satisfying? |
