| How to go about collecting Classical Music +1 @mikelavigneQobuz has 50 million songs while Tidal has 60 million songs which I believe is the most economic way to hear various songs. Many songs come with significantly higher resolutions files compared to redbook (CD) files which sound signi... | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed @ audionoobieThe HHR TLS-1 mfr suggests 400 watts rms which suggests you need considerable power to run these speakers.At $5k, getting an integrated amp rather than separates is likely better price/performance alternative unless you plan to swap o... | |
| Please Educate Me @paul6001 Could be that some of us are put off by you requesting us to educate you (do the work for you) rather than you investigating for yourself like most of us have done. High level: sound/music is an analog continuous waveform while digital i... | |

| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment @rushfan71Since people spend significant money for the Zenith for improved sonic benefit, comparisons should be made sonically. A simple A/B sonic comparison keeping all other things constant. Your claim of just matching parts without regard to ex... | |
| Can anybody be a speaker designer? Is @kenjit for real? While most here are teaching, learning, helping each other out, seems @kenjit is yanking our chains for his own amusement. If a child craves attention he often acts up to get it - an immature trait in adults. I often ponder... | |
