| And a Happy 4th to all! I choose reflection over celebration this year to quietly reexamine what it means to be American and to confront how far we’ve drifted from the principles this day is meant to honor. Still, in the stillness, I find comfort in music, a small refuge... | |

| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? Used. Pioneer Elite DV-37. Used to carry $1000 but now sub $100 you could pick up a decent looking one from eBay. Sound pretty good especially digi-out to a capable external dac. | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano Now you're diverting from the issues I was referring to and talking about something else. I can discuss 'distortions' all night long, but that's not the point. I'm talking about the cello's timbre and the center hollowness in the MLP reco... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano My system beautifully decodes the truly magnificent recording of Mahler’s Second Symphony by G. Kaplan I have previously referred, reproducing a live performance with an immersive sound field in my listening space. At the same time, it r... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? My system challenges me to a fight every time i turn it on. Are you gladiator? Who are you going to fight with? Why do you wish to pick up the fight? It’s interesting that the majority of the many people answering the question claim they are ... | |

| How competitive are you with your system? After quitting golf as a hobby during Covid, two-channel music listening took its place and has become my main—almost only—hobby, aside from jogging. However, I carried over a similar sporting spirit: I only compete with myself. In fact, golf is p... | |
| Your advice appreciated: Bookshelf Speakers for my Conrad Johnson CAV45-S2 Monolith 28 Inch Speaker Stand x 2 ($180) plus 1. ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63 ($499; amazon) - if you can pull the speakers out at least 3 ft away from the front wall (to the rear ports); Erin recommends it. 2.

| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Since you mentioned the Wharfedale Evo 4.2, the new Evo 5 series has been released, and the Evo 5.2 is the sweet spot in that lineup. It outperforms all Evo 4 models, including the floorstanders. I auditioned the Evo 4.2 at home for a while and li... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 ... blowing drivers at a certain amount of volume is normal. The magic word is "at a certain amount of volume." Your SF Cremona could handle power up to 300w w/o clipping and is a nominal 4-ohm speaker with a factory-rated sensitivity of 90dB/... | |
