| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear “Yellowstone: The Music of Nature” by Mannheim Steamroller. | |
| If you hopped into your time machine and brought back audio gear- what would it be? I’d go way back for a brand new top of the line Gramophone to bring back with me. Like the one Quentin Collins used to listen to. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Fact is I get a lot more mileage out of my vinyl by digitizing and tagging it in my music library. It’s at my fingertips to play then wherever I go. Anywhere in the house or outside, in the car via CarPlay via Plexamp streamer or away typically wi... | |

| The Weekend Most boring halftime show I’ve seen in years. Kept my interest for about 30 seconds. My feelings too.I think I need a high end surround sound system. Maybe 2-channel isn’t enough to fully appreciate a spectacular like Super Bowl halftime. Maybe I... | |
| Help: Anthem STR dac vs Bryston BDA-1 and others - sounds the same to me A DAC is merely a special kind of computer designed to do just that one task. |
