| I am sad What are we arguing about this time? Being upset when something breaks? CHoice of words? Sorry the amp broke, but of course everything breaks eventually. That's what spares are for, to hold teh fort for a period of time as needed. What else... | |
| Enough of the Stereophile futuristic statements about the Focal Diva Utopia I hear you regarding the ls60s. How many people are all that interested in giant heavy expensive speakers anymore really? Nothing to do but ramp up the marketing where possible. Hoping for future KEFs that take a successful jump to GanFET Cla... | |

| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Charts like that are invaluable to help understand what we hear in music better and use tools like DSP to adjust the sound to personal preference. Agree starting with a high quality neutral sounding DAC then tweak to one’s heart content from ther... | |

| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead monoblocks rule! | |
| I am sad I always keep a spare or two around to keep the music going when something inevitably breaks. Hope the amp fix works out! |
