| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers No thanks. | |
| Van Morrison Latest Record Project He has a lot of albums. Reviewers are probably just tired of reviewing them already. I have only heard probably less than 50% of his output so always still finding new juicy Van tidbits out there I’ll have to give it a stream sometime soon. | |
| The best $99 system upgrade ever! $12 Ear wax removal kit from local Walgreens every once on a while does the job for me. | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? $2844 is not enough. My mapman funky fuse will be coming out soon for $4823 and it will be 4X as good. Just don’t open up or warranty voided. ALso if it blows properly when it should no free replacements on a costly-to-make 5K fuse. THere is expe... | |

| I heard the Box It could be the floor more than the box you hear if floor is suspended plywood in which case use isolation pads or similar. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Seems like @b_limo is enjoying trying all these things out. Not sure he really wants to cut to the chase, assuming he knows what it is he is seeking prior to hearing it. Can’t blame him. New toys are fun! I’d play more myself if I had the time. | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions Steaming alone is not hard and need not cost much. I have yet to hear any decent quality streamer in the last 15 years sound bad and have heard some of the the best systems for reference to compare. The dac makes all the difference when it comes t... | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions Don’t change a thing until you find the right DAC first. | |
