| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? +1 unsound politically incorrect it may be, but “WAF” is a factor, maybe even #2. some of us have little control over the room, which affects everything. most of us follow an evolutionary path - trial and error. I would recommend prioritizing ... | |
| Best Covers Covers are sometimes superior. Sinatra could frequently improve upon originals Jimi Hendrix playing “All Along the Watchtower (so good Dylan changed the rhythm it to be more like Jimii) and both JH and Whitney Houston’s covers of the Star Spang... | |
| Jazz Mount Rushmore These opinions are mostly biased toward bebop and later. After jazz mostly lost its way. No one even mentioned Armstrong or Goodman. | |

| Recommendation Tube Integrated + 1 for Rogers. I have an EHF 200 Mk 2. It’s amazingly powerful for a tube integrated, all class A operation, so it runs hot and is not easy on output tubes. I believe that its quality of workmanship is unsurpassed. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Has anyone mentioned the elephant in the room? Eq’s destroy the phase relationships in the signal. There can be rare times when the benefits outweigh the downside. But most of the time, there’s a good reason why audiophiles abandoned eq’s decade... | |

| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore @psalvet : thanks for the heads up about the Widex. I’m considering expensive aids vs Costco. The expensive one are better, but the c. $4k difference seems to be almost all in the digital processing and audiologist markup. I had Oticon Intiga 1... | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? Many Modern tubes are pretty good, if you buy from sellers who thoroughly test and match them. They identify a lit of rejects that way, and guess what? Somebody else sells those rejects. If you’re looking for a “good price”, guess which tubes y... | |
| Amp repair in Orange County, CA for Carver WM-200t Offered for $185 each on Reverb. Not sure there’s any market for them; who would want a Carver “magnetic field” amp? | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @rich121, Thanks! | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Update: I couldn't buy Tergitol 15-S-7 anywhere that I tried. Orders accepted were cancelled. It looks like you have to be a laboratory with certain credentials to buy it. Is there a formula using Infotol? Much more readily available. |
