| American Made Audio Products It is risky, difficult and expensive to ship a heavy amp. several times I have had to send electronics - amp or preamp - back to the manufacturer for repair, so for those things I buy American. It’s true that not every part inside was made her... | |

| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @ Larsman, I don't agree that arranged or improvised sounds that contain only one element of music, e.g. rhythm, qualifiies as music. Is spoken word with rhythmic accompaniment "music'? Then what is the difference between poetry, which has... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Is sound without melody or harmony (e.g., the Super Bowl half-time show) music? | |
| Focal Kanta No. 2 Speakers hum with speaker with speaker cable disconnected In the Stereophile review of the Wilson SabrinaX, JA noted that they hum even when not connected to anything. I was stunned that such an incompetent design would be released. Even if it were masked while playing music, it’s still noise. your sp... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter I have used a Genesis Digital Lens since it came out (with a Pioneer PD-65 as transport), which eliminated jitter. Always assumed it more or less solved transport issues. Would a modern transport, eg the Project, really improve things? | |
| KT 150 Amp Options @hamburger A Rogers ehf200 mk 2 would be perfect for someone new to tubes, as it is cathode biased and requires no user adjustment, and it sounds great. I showed a picture of it to our receptionist, who exclaimed, “Wow! It’s beautiful!” Never ... | |
| Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF Obviously KISS is pathetic musically, I personally can't listen to it, but that was never the standard for R&RHoF. They did revolutionize the "show" part of the equation, and deserve recognition for their achievement and vast influence. Dolly... | |

| Transmission line speakers! All PMC speakers use transmission line designs. Consequently, they seem to produce more and better bass than comparably sized speakers using other designs. I really like my PMC Fb1i Signature speakers. The only real knock on them I’ve eve... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Why do you need to move the amp around so much? | |
| How to tame a bright system? This was as close to Unanimous advice as I have ever seen on Audiogon, a clear majority identified the culprit right away. Yet OP defends the sound of his overly bright B&W speakers, which he “tested”? Then at home he heard what those speaker... | |
| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. Beatles - without the screaming girls that made it impossible to hear themArtie ShawHendrixsaw most of the rock bands listed here, even remember a few of those shows. 50 + times, for Grateful Dead, SRV. I am grateful to have heard all the great ... | |
| Cost to keep equipment running / on Fuzztone, thanks. Ordered one. Will be good to know the draw of each component. The total running electrical cost from my gear, plus the a/c costs of cooling down the heat from from c. 25 tubes, costs me c. $100-150/ mo. In Texas. Of course,... |
