| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Science explains the music and the gear completely. Don’t be silly. It’s the people or the listeners that defy science. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? Every Class D I have heard is very good. By that I mean near flawless. Not all created equal however. Some might prefer some tubes up front to embellish things a bit. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg4,I have remastered Panorama CD ripped to server that I stream. It's a most enjoyable recording, very clean and crisp! Just like I remember the first Cars album sounding on vinyl back in college when it first came out. | |
| The Worst Room... @wturkeyYes, my advice to anyone with a challenging room looking for the fast track to good sound: pick up a suitable pair of Ohm Walsh however you can, maybe do a little tweaking with placement, and max them out with the best stuff you can throw ... | |
