| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I only started listening to Jazz this year. Spotify is your friend. Currently, I'm listening to "70's Japanese Jazz/Funk" playlist. Don't like a song, click next. Like a song, I save to a playlist. Never heard of any of these artists, just the way... | |

| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I enjoy good vintage gear because it sounds good, looks great and although requires effort can be properly maintained, unlike our vintage deteriorating ears/hearing we all have. The gear is not the weakest link in many cases. Plus, chasing and buy... | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades I bought a barely used Rega P1 that came with both the Rega cartridge and Nagaoka MP-110 cartridges for $350 CAN. Owner decided to go with Rega P3 for better sound and was outside the return window on P1. The interesting part was the he was totall... | |

| Amp for Vintage Heresy I had a NAD 316B with vintage Yamaha NS-670 speakers while assembling Yamaha gear from same time period ~1976-78. For a few weeks had both NAD316 and Yamaha CA-1010 with same speakers. Sound difference? No idea other than Yamaha had more power for... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? Just think of the clarity if the local Power plant upgraded to Cardas cabling | |
| MQA....again. I'd rather spend $10-$20/mth for chance at better music experience vs $1000 for 3ft power cable | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? Manufacturers should include specs and explanation of how measurements were made for reference. It adds credibility for their design philosophy, then have a listen. Why would anyone want to look a Porsche 911 specs or its track performance? They a... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. I use my apple dongle DAC more than any other, definitely the shortest signal path and mobile, it’s perfect. | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading Many posts on Instagram showing esoteric TT’s that look like they could be moon landers and are placed on $15 Ikea bamboo cutting boards. If it works, great but doesn’t say much for the design of that 4-5 figure TT. | |
| Ethernet cables @tonywinga Just some humour not mocking. I learn plenty of info on these threads, the cable discussions are “interesting”. As another poster above states audio streaming files have gone through umpteen connection points on Internet and arrive as ... | |
| Ethernet cables I recently replaced the ice maker control board in my fridge and snagged a wire. I soldered on some wire I had on hand for speaker repairs. The ice maker now makes colder cubes than ever before, plus the ice makes a much better crackling sound in... | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @deadhead1000 On flip side, I’ve had my parents 70’s album collection for decades and finally assembled a system two years ago. I tried various new gear but went with good, all original 70’s gear (except stylus), not SOTA but holds its own. More i... |
