| LS50 and Classical Yes you need a sub with ls50s to get the whole deal classical or otherwise. Also the newer metas have greatly improved dispersion and do soundstage depth very well. Upgraded to those recently. An upgrade +sub would fit in your price range. I use a... | |

| Neil Young calls out Tidal Hmm well no Neil Young on Tidal is a big downer. It’s not such a big deal. Just work it out IMHO. Call it whatever makes everyone happy. As long as it’s there and sounds good. Nobody really cares about the politics. Everyone needs a chill pill. | |
| My really dumb tube mistake(s) Live and learn. When things don’t sound right, whatever the cause, time to jump into action! Regression testing rules! Switch/change one thing at a time until problem item is isolated. Having spare gear around to swap in when needed is key! If tub... | |

| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Sounds like you like the sound you have but want better at low volumes. Would keep what you have and add a good powered sub to help fill in the low end. Make sure it is powerful enough to extend to 20 hz in your room and use white noise and a simp... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Remember “It’s a Wonderful Life”? People didn’t acknowledge Jimmy Stewart every time he had a positive effect on them. But it still all added up in the end. Jimmy even got a little riled up on occasion. Just saying. Everyone should always stick up... | |
