| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums I came across a song recently by Electric Light Orchestra. It was in the movie American hustle. The song is called Long Black Road and allegedly it’s from a 2001 album called Zoom but it doesn’t show up on the track listings. I don’t know whether... | |

| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @pennfootball71 10-05-2022 at 02:54am "It is not just price it is sound quality I am after. You probably just heard a lot of budget stuff under 25k most of it is trash." I don't know what to do with this comment. What does it mean to be... | |

Plus, it would be a lot chea... | |
| Why is used audio equipment so undesirable? Seems to me that there exists a thriving used market. I have ever only purchased three audio components new: a DAC, one pair of speakers that were not available used, and a home theater pre/pro. Everything else is used. With regards to relia... | |
| which is a better speaker @mike317 To be fair, as posed your question is difficult to answer meaningfully. What kind of music do you like to listen to, at what volumes and in what size of a room? Are you listening in one position or moving around? Can you describe what... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle I second what @sandthemall said. "Hospital grade" receptacles are built to higher mechanical - not electrical - characteristics. They are designed not to fail from heavy usage, not to break or to release a plug if it is yanked inadvertently. http... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? ADS L Series. Beautiful mids. | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna How is it possible for someone to call your system "deficient" if they haven't heard it? | |
| Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F When it comes to amps, I would think that the passage of time treated tubes and SS differently. There haven't really been any new tube circuit designs in decades, though some of Bob Carver's recent work might qualify. As someone pointed out, if ... | |
