| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I thought Randy's video was ridiculous and the comments worse. He's just playing to his crowd, stoking resentment, cynically trolling for clicks. If someone wants to buy a $60k or $600k set of speakers its their business, not mine or yours. And ho... | |

| System advice I’ve heard several octave amps and have the octave Jubilee preamp. I think they provide warmth without being soft and are particularly better at controlling the low end than some tube amps. This is so subjective that only one set of ears really ma... | |

| Comparing speakers at home questions Best to do both. Big differences can be noticed quickly and are obviously most important subtle differences may require more time but are more prone to mistakes. Optimal set up for the speakers will differ and if you don’t get them both set up p... | |

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... |
