| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. You make excellent points about the rigor that must be applied to testing as well as other potential issues. I suspect most of us are at an age where there are not a lot of golden ears in the group. I'm most certainly not an ASR follower. I've in... | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @donavabdear i’ve never thought about it in that way and that’s an interesting perspective. Not sure I completely agree with the conclusion, but certainly an interesting premise | |
| What exactly is ROON? I was a little skeptical when I became a Roon user but now I would hate to be without it. Rather than add complexity, I think it adds simplicity in managing your music. I don’t use the DSP features, but I know many who do and are quite happy with... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both and I generally prefer Qobuz, but I suspect in a properly conducted blind test I wouldn’t be able to consistently tell a difference and I suspect that’s true for most, but each to their own As someone noted, I’ve read that Q treats th... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? I have treatments on the ceiling and it really made a significant difference, it would’ve been a big mistake to overlook treating the ceiling, | |
| What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate? my lady friend is about 12 years younger than me and when we got together a few years ago, she thought Bose was high end. Because of her age, her taste in music was 80s and early 90s, which is to say she had no taste at all. Well, that has improve... | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I'm not an ASR disciple, I've invested in some cables and don't believe measurements tell the whole story, but measurements at a minimum seem to add useful context. I don't buy into Amir's philosophy by any means, but his posts here have been c... | |
| What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate? Not a lot of fun things about getting old but one of them is having much more time now to enjoy the music. on the other hand, I make it a point not to watch reruns of Soylent Green anymore | |
| My Gray Experience Another old lawyer here. Sorry you’ve had this trouble, I’m sure it’s very frustrating. It might be worth contacting the Attorney General‘s office in the state where this business is located and inquire about making a consumer protection complaint... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I saw Black Oak at Murray State University circa 1975. Jim Dandy set his guitar ablaze on the stage. Seemed impressive at the time. | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2 I went through a similar analysis a couple of years ago. I had Serafinos and was looking to upgrade to the Amati. Both are great speakers and I have a fairly large room as you do. The Amati Filled the room better, and I thought gave you a little m... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! if A:B testing is not carefully volume matched the test is of dubious value. In doing a quick switch, louder will generally sound better. for longer listening sessions, I think it’s a matter of personal preference and will depend on the type of mu... | |
| HALCRO Amplifiers I believe the Audio salon in Santa Monica California sells Halcro gear The gear looks fantastic, gets rave reviews, and has measurements almost unmatched. I would be very tempted, but would be concerned about service. I wonder if anybody on this ... |
