| FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE Best to do these things in a manner that does not impact customers whenever possible, but if they are beefing up the performance and an outage is required then it should be worth it. Note: I am in Maryland USA, a Qobuz subscriber, and I do no... | |
| A.I. music Hopefully it just becomes a new genre, but knowing how things work (ie follow the money, cut costs) probably not. Ai has huge potential to be used or abused and who will even know the difference? | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? I am familiar with that vintage gear having sold many back in the day. Currently the music room has a modern well reviewed but vintage looking NAD c3050 integrated amp available. That and chose your speakers there for a nice modern upgrade for ... | |

| Stuff You Tried To Love B&W P6 speakers, but frankly it was probably the amplification’s fault. I’d probably like them these days. | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested Not familiar with those specific KEF and Sonus Faber models, but I do currently own other KEFs and SFs. Both are very fine product lines but no doubt they tend to have different "house sounds" . I think it will come down to personal preference mor... | |
| Do Axpona Exhibitors offer special deals on headphones at the show? Based on personal show experience though not specifically Axpona, yes you should be able to get some kind of special deal on many items at a show like that. | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? Yeah I sold and heard most all of it back then. I’ll pass. Some neat nostalgia items but that’s about it. |
