| The Boss is the Bo$$ Luckily for Bruce I approve! | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable Do you have ls50s or the newer metas? I have both. Metas are a step in that direction in regards to overall clarity and detail and might cut it in a smaller room with powered sub or two unless you require higher Spl say >90db approximately or s... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Very sorry to hear. Classy guy! Always a good sense of humor! Sincerest condolences to his friends and family. I actually have a nice hifi token he sent me once to try that will remind me of him. | |
| Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS? You can buy a pair of Ohm F5 for several thousand less...even less with trade ins. Those are more compact, include powered subs and weigh more: 150 pounds each, but at least on castors for easy placement. F5 | Speakers | Ohm Speakers | Custom Aud... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS? Have not seen these but any speakers at that price better look nice unless they are designed for commercial use in large auditoriums, arenas, etc. Otherwise maybe these will corner some very limited market for less attractive expensive home sp... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget I bet Naim + Focal = winner! | |

| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. I use purely WiFi streaming. Piece of cake, never a problem and sound quality is not an issue. Been that way for many years now. It helps not being connected to noisy computer and network gear with a wire. | |
| A $349 record brush The Absolute Sound is not relevant to me. That place is in la la land. | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. If the CD sounded better it was probably a different release mastered or produced differently than the source for the streamed version. Could also be a different DAC. There is no reason why streaming categorically would be inherently inferior to C... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 - Good but not the king of switching amps Maybe there is a limit to what practically constitutes good sound. I have several Class D amps and they all sound basically flawless within their limits. Plus I hear all the new stuff that comes out all the time and the best sounds no better than ... | |
| High end Class D amps? Overall Class D is as good or better than anything else these days. Ignore the naysayers. They are biased. Whether it works best for you or not is still always up in the air case by case. It always depends. But Class D is in general a safe bet to ... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Integrated on a budget every time these days. Check out Cambridge Evo all in one and be done. | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Part of it was that stereo lps were relatively new and still a novelty and records were often marketed and sold based on sound quality. It was the golden age of vinyl. Then the novelty wore off and results became a lot more mixed. |
