| New Amp Advice Thank you. That is very useful information as Boulder and Dan are both on my list.. it looks like Boulder is discontinuing the 1160 and introducing a new model. It will be interesting to see what changes. Sounds like you are very satisfied with y... | |
| New Amp Advice I just read through these responses and thanks to all who offered advice.I'm going to consider all of it-trying to figure it out is half the fun, and this exchange has given me some good information to think about. @ghdprentice I appreciate your ... | |
| New Amp Advice Appreciate all of the suggestions thus far and hope for more. I am interested in Audionet and would also appreciate knowing more about how they differ from coda. @jasonbourne71 I respect what you have to say and always enjoy your comments. I ag... | |
| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" Excellent and informative discussion. Thanks to all even if it is a bit tough for dummies like me to understand | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? I don’t think this hobby is all that much different than others. some people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on luxury sports cars even though a Toyota Camry will get you from place to place. I know people into astronomy. Some of them don’t... | |

| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? I’m 67 and discover new music on an almost weekly basis. In fact, many of my favorites now were unknown to me just a couple of years ago. Streaming and Roon have made this possible. When I was young and getting into music money was hard to come by... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @calvinj I agree with you. There are some things that I have taken a pass on, like expensive switches, because I tried them in my system and couldn’t hear a difference. But if someone else does hear a difference, it’s not for me to say it’s the... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS I believe measurements can be useful in making buying decisions but they certainly don’t dictate what I do. Ive bought higher-end cables, etc. that the objectivist would scoff at. With that said, this is not a one-way street. I have read quite a f... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Two changes that brought level up improvements: Octave Audio Jubilee Preamp. I listened to a lot pf preamps and the Octave was the best to my ears by a significant margin-better everything Professional room treatments. I was a bit skeptical-thou... |
